Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Dead

[esmith]

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dead at his own hand after U.S. Special Ops cornered the rat.
However it seems that some are not too happy about how it was handled; Pelosi and Schiff are complaining that they were not informed of the raid.
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, other key Democrats were not made aware of Baghdadi raid before it happened, Trump says - CNNPolitics
Just what makes these two think they have any say if the operation took place or not.

It was so nice of Trump to inform Putin of the raid in advance, but not the American Congressional and Senatorial leadership. Shows you which country Trump owes his allegiance -- and it's not America.

Then again, we all know who pulls Trump's strings -- Putin.

 

[WalterTrull]

My reaction was that while it may be better that he's gone, gloating over killing another,however bad, is ghoulish.

Do you not think the Russian Military should not have been informed when US military were flying into area where Russian troops were deployed?
Maybe this will answer your unfounded comments>

Nothing kept Trump from informing the Congressional and Senate leadership -- as is customary -- except Trump's master, Vladimir Putin did not want the American leadership informed. As you know full well, esmith, Putin has Trump's balls in his pocket, and Trump does not do anything that will displease Putin.

Considering the horrendous and hideous crimes he put on people to the point that even Al-Qaeda took a step back, I would say he was sub human.

The only tragedy is he took his three children with him as he detonated himself into human hamburger.

Might be harsh, but well done...!!

We will probably see another video surface from him in around four years time referencing the president elected next year or something, these things just keep happening with ISIS.

Too bad you have little or no understanding of military operations.

Just tell me why you think he should.
With the leaks produced by Congress and those that oppose the President within Congress I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them wouldn't leak the information just to make his decision to go look bad.

Haven't heard you saying anything about the Obama Administration tooting their horn over the death of bin Laden

You been watching CNN again?

Just what makes these two think they have any say if the operation took place or not.

The traditional expression is "checks and ballances".

 

[Cooky]

Whatever happens, Trumps gonna be blamed for something. It doesn't even matter what it is.

How's Drudge these days? By the way, I stick to the Associated Press, Bloomsberg, the Wall Street Journal, the Hill, the New York Times, Reuters, etc. You have most likely never read or viewed most of my news sources. But I'm sure you're quite happy with Breitbart and World News Daily. And they probably love you too.

Is there anyone expecting this death to solve much?

I certainly do not. What are the odds that this Abu Bakr was peerless or anything?

Killing Bin Laden did not prevent Abu Bakr. Killing Abu Bakr is not going to prevent the world's next master-terrorist. Worse, sooner or later, one of those guys is going to get his or her hands on a weapon of mass destruction. This game of killing them one after the other at the very best is only delaying the day of reckoning.

The problem of terrorism must be solved. Killing ain't the solution -- even if it is a holding action (and it can be debated whether killing is even an effective holding action).
