OK, here we go. Trump said a day or two ago, there would be no problem releasing the video of the second strike on the survivors, that it would be released.
Yeah, right! Not that I’m anxious to see people blown up, but sounds like it will not be released, if Pete Hegseth has anything to do with it.
So, what’s to review?! And no, Hegseth, they were not headed to the US by boat.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday refused to say whether the Pentagon would release video of the early September operationthat targeted survivors of a strike on an alleged drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean.
"We're reviewing the process, and we'll see," Hegseth said in a Q&A session after addressing a defense forum hosted by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. "Whatever we were to decide to release, we'd have to be very responsible about reviewing that right now."
Eleven people were killed in the Sept. 2 missile attack on an alleged drug boat, the first of several such assaults off Latin America's coastal waters. The Trump administration has faced heavy criticism after the Washington Post reported last week that a second missile was launched on the boat, killing two survivors of the initial strike….
……Mr. Trump on Wednesday said he would support the release of all footage of the Sept. 2 strikes.
"I don't know what they have, but whatever they have we'll certainly release, no problem," Mr. Trump told reporters Wednesday.
However, the Pentagon chief on Saturday was noncommittal as he was asked multiple times whether the video would be released.
"We are reviewing it right now," Hegseth said.
During his speech Saturday, Hegseth insisted the strikes against the alleged drug-trafficking boats and their "narco-terrorists" will continue.
"We've been clear, if you're working for a designated terrorist organization, and you bring drugs into this country in a boat, we will find you and we will sink you," Hegseth said. "...We are killing them. We will keep killing them so long as they are poisoning our people with narcotics so lethal they're tantamount to chemical weapons."
