ABC has apologized for the video footage. They made the mistake of not vetting it and said so.
Still waiting for Trump to admit a single mistake or a single lie (he has more than a few to choose from).

Did listen to the actual tape of the CNN president telling his staff to bypass real news to keep the impeachment nothing burger at the fore front?
Listen to the CBS anchor they specifically say... "this maybe footage of..." They knew it was not going into the broad cast. they just wanted to paint a hollywood type invasion scene when in fact very little in the way of kurds being napalmed is actually going on.
As far as trump's actions in seria I think he is making an example out of them for others in the middle east who heavily depend on our support but maybe are not paying their fare share. To show them that the US is the reason why people like turkey and or iran are not pushing in and not NAto. Remember the kurds are under the protection of Nato and turkey is a member, yet Nato has little to no power in reeling turkey in. IE if you want the added US protection then it is time people started paying for it rather than the tax payers footing the entire bill for world peace.
Or perhaps he is using the actions of turkey against the kurds to show the kurds how much they depend on Us and to force a stronger alliance with them and get their support against their buddies in Iran if it comes down to it.
Only History can know if this will be an all bad or even a good thing..
Either Way, this is news. not impeachment over Joe biden's dishonest politicking. (shaking down the ukraine and china for payout for his son.)
