TRUMP: ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is DEAD
Killed in U.S. Special Forces raid in Syria: “He died like a dog, he died like a coward”
Last night Trump tweeted that “Something Very Big Has Just Happened”.
There was a lot of speculation about what that “Big” thing was. Based on news reports this morning, it was the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi by U.S. Special Forces in Syria. We will carry Trump’s 9 a.m. press statement live, and then update.

Some quotes from the statement:
“Last night the United States brought the world’s number one terrorist leader to justice. Abu Bakr al-baghdadi is dead,” Trump said. “He was the founder and leader of ISIS. The most ruthless and violent terror organization anywhere in the world. The United States has been searching for Baghdadi for many years. Capturing or killing Baghdadi has been the top national security priority of my administration.”
“US Special operations forces executed a dangerous and daring night time raid. In northwestern Syria and accomplished their mission in grand style, the US personnel were incredible, I got to watch much of it. No personnel were lost in the operation. While a large number of Baghdadi’s fighters and companions were killed with him.”
“He died after running into a dead end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way. The compound had been cleared by this time with people either surrendering or being shot and killed. Eleven young children were moved out of the house and are uninjured. The only ones remaining were Baghdadi in the tunnel and he had dragged three of his young children with him. They were led to certain death. He reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down. He ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children. His body was mutilated by the blast.”
“He died like a dog, he died like a coward.”

Trump confirms that Adam Schiff was not notified of the raid: “Washington is a leaking machine and I told my people we will not notify them until our great people are out… the only people that knew are the few people I dealt with.”

This should be a good day that Republicans and Democrats can come together and be proud that our US military took out #alBaghdadi without one American life being lost.
Is it possible that we can agree on this one thing?!?

When we killed Bin Laden we ran to the White House and celebrated in the streets—conservatives, liberals, everyone—without any sniping about the fact that it was Obama in the sit room.

Because your former boss never took victory laps, right? https://t.co/JVNh31HxAs

It's good news that #alBaghdadi, a monster who tortured and killed countless, people is dead.
But it is still embarrassing to see the president of our country speak like a 5-year-old boy who just watched a video game.

They had it right the first time.
The Washington Post changed the headline on its Al-Baghdadi obituary from “Islamic State’s terrorist-in-Chief” to “austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State.” pic.twitter.com/cs243EVz7W

Given that the Dems have been unequivocal in stating that they WANT a recession (so that DJT doesn’t get re-elected), there’s zero doubt in my mind that they would have leaked details of the mission had Trump clued them in so that it would have failed … and failed big time.
‘Nuff said.
Oh, yes. Dogs. Have you ever jumped out of a plane with anyone else but your best friend?

Or, really, the last friend you’ll ever have it all goes wrong.
