lol Trump would be lucky if he could pull his head out of his arse. It's not like it was all Trump's idea. He is decidedly short on strategy and tactics. What medals has he gotten for his military service? lol
As Marine General Mattis said, ‘I earned my spurs on the battlefield, Trump earned his from the doctor’

So... Trump was supposedly golfing when they started the operation.


Which makes me wonder if he knew beforehand or not.

The quiet man who harbored Islamic State leader al-Baghdadi

BEIRUT — The locals knew him as Abu Mohammed Salemeh, an animal feed wholesaler who lived in a compound on the edge of Syria’s border with Turkey, on the outskirts of a town called Barisha. Salemeh was friendly enough, residents said this week, but mostly kept to himself.
So they were surprised to learn about his secret life as the commander of an extremist group affiliated with al-Qaida — and even more surprised to learn that he had been harboring a rival extremist, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the founder of Islamic State.
“Who would come here — to a village with nothing?” asked Ayman Abdul Ghani, a 33-year-old medical activist working with Barisha’s local council. “Let’s be logical.”
Al-Baghdadi died last weekend during a raid by U.S. forces on the compound in Barisha, according to President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials. Trapped in a tunnel on the property, al-Baghdadi blew himself up, killing three children in the process. Salameh, which was believed to have been a pseudonym for Abu Mohammed Halabi, the leader of the extremist group Guardians of the Religion, was also cut down in the raid, residents say, and his body was taken away by the special operatives.
In the aftermath of the raid, questions remain about how al-Baghdadi came to the squat compound, where Salameh had lived with his eight children for three years.
Barisha, about 30 miles west of the city of Aleppo and a few miles south of the border with Turkey, had largely escaped the punishing air campaign waged by Syrian and Russian warplanes over northern Syria in recent years, mostly because it was so unimportant.
That quiet was punctured just before 11 p.m. Saturday, when helicopters swarmed over Salameh’s house. Rapid cracks of machine-gun fire and tracer rounds flared in the sky.
“There was just shooting everywhere. We heard someone on the ground shooting at the helicopters, then they responded. We just started panicking,” said Alaa, a 33-year-old worker with the local council who gave only his first name for fear of reprisals.
Though Alaa’s house was more than 400 yards away, when he went to his window to see what was happening, a bullet pierced the thick frosted glass, smacked into a picture hanging on the wall and sent a shower of shards on his children.
“We didn’t even dare turn on our lights to see what was happening,” said Alaa.
Later, a shepherd living in a tent next to Salameh’s house (he too had only exchanged greetings with Salameh) brought eight children, all younger than 10, to Alaa’s neighborhood, Alaa said. The shepherd said that they had been handed to him by the operatives storming the compound and that he was to take care of them.
The children were said to now be with the authorities who control surrounding Idlib province, which is the last part of Syria still held by forces opposed to Syrian President Bashar Assad. Syria has been torn by civil war since 2011, although Assad, with Russian and Iranian help, is now back in control of most of the country.
The same opposition forces had also been fighting against Islamic State, adding to the mystery of how al-Baghdadi wound up in Salameh’s house in Barisha.
Before the civil war, the village had been virtually abandoned, Abdul Ghani said in a phone interview. Most people left to find work elsewhere in the country, he said. Those who did stay worked in the sparse olive groves, or the small wheat fields near ancient Roman ruins. It was the civil war that brought many of its original inhabitants back, swelling the village’s population from less than 1,000 before the war to 12,000.
About 4,000 of Syria’s displaced had also settled in Barisha, many of them poor people unable to afford living elsewhere or who wanted to be near the Turkish border.
Salameh was thought to have come as one of those internally displaced, Alaa said.
“He came almost three years ago, bought a house that was still under construction, finished it and put a fence around it,” he added. Salameh also enrolled his children in the school, and seemed to have no qualms about being seen, though he rarely had visitors, except to hook up internet service or refill his water tanks.
Though services were few, said Abdul Qader Abdul Ghafour, the top civilian administrator in Barisha, the area was controlled by a onetime al-Qaida affiliate known as the Committee for the Liberation of Syria and was thought to be secure. Although al-Baghdadi had once been an al-Qaida member, he broke away from the group when he formed Islamic State and the two groups had become sworn enemies.
“If we had known this person was here, of course we would have captured him,” Abdul Ghafour said in an interview Monday.
The hunt for al-Baghdadi had begun well before Islamic State lost the last of its territory this year. At its zenith, the group controlled an area roughly the size of Britain, with anywhere from 8 million to 12 million people under its rule.
As Islamic State was squeezed between rival U.S.-led and Russian-supported campaigns, teams of special operatives and spies roamed the group’s onetime bastions to track down al-Baghdadi. Reports would breathlessly declare he was killed in an airstrike or wounded and dying, but there was never confirmation.
After the U.S.-led coalition declared victory over the group this year, there was no sign of him, save for a few audio and video recordings in which he vowed Islamic State would still fight.
To reach Barisha, al-Baghdadi would have had to traverse hundreds of miles, through desolate deserts as well as urban centers and major highways, from the group’s stronghold in the northeast. If he had gone through Syria, he would have had to navigate a Swiss-cheese landscape of influence and control by groups of different loyalties, including the Syrian government and its allies, as well as opposition and Islamist factions.
A senior U.S. State Department official described Idlib province as a chaotic mishmash of competing groups. “It is as messy a mix as you have in northeast Syria,” the official said.
It was also possible al-Baghdadi wanted to remain near the Turkish border. In the early days of Islamic State’s formation, that border had been the conduit for the tens of thousands of fighters who came from 100 countries to join its ranks.
Turkey, amid increasing pressure from the U.S. and a growing Islamic State threat in its own territory, finally sealed the border. Yet many militants were thought to have escaped to Turkey during Islamic State’s slow demise.
Al-Baghdadi’s right-hand man, an operative with the nom de guerre Abu Hassan Muhajir, had been killed in another raid Saturday in the border city of Jarabulus, tweeted Mazloum Abdi, the head of a Syrian Kurdish militia that had provided intelligence for both operations. Many of Islamic State’s cadres are thought to have been able to smuggle themselves onto Turkish territory.
The Kurds, said the group’s spokesman Mustafa Bali, had provided the intelligence on al-Baghdadi’s whereabouts in May to the United States.
“Turkey which has carried out countless airstrikes deep inside (Iraqi Kurdistan) targeting certain people has questions to answer on Baghdadi case,” he wrote in a tweet Monday.
There were reports of yet another operation Monday, with activists speaking of another helicopter raid near Jarabulus and the arrest of men who were said to be Iraqis.
Still, Baghdadi could also have blended in with the many Iraqi families, refugees who fled either with or from Islamic State into Syria. Many of them now live in camps in the steppes of the country’s north. Idlib province, commentators say, is infiltrated by Islamic State sleeper cells more than willing to hide their caliph.
Some say Salameh was part of such a cell. Whatever his loyalties were, opposition activists reported that Salameh was more than a wholesaler. Barisha residents were trying to reconcile that with the friendly man they knew.
“He was like any other refugee,” Alaa said.

But, as usual, You do look good with jone's ass for a hat tho.


"First [President George W.] Bush came and said he killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, then [President Barack] Obama came and he said he killed [Osama] bin Laden, now this one comes saying he killed Baghdadi. Every president kills one," says Zekko Zuhair, a pet store owner in Mosul, Iraq.

Honestly! The bad guy is dead and everyone should be happy. He murdered tons of people! Seriously, the MSM and their followers are absolutely corrupt to say this guy was worth anything. Who care how Trump "announced" his death. Everything that I heard was actually true (except him being a dog and whining - that part I don't know and, quite frankly don't care). But likely true as he expected others to do his dirty work and die on his behalf. Besides which, Trump needed to send a msg to his followers that they guy was a complete a hole and coward when faced with his impending death and not the "hero" that he or his followers proclaimed to be.


So, I had no issue with the announcement. Don't care what Obama said - that was then, this is now.

Which proves how dangerous your type of thinking is.


First, GOOD that Bahgdadi is dead. Good riddance. Died by suicide vest when cornered taking out two of his kids with him.


The PROBLEM with how Trump announced is that it slurs on the man so much, you don't think his allies WON'T want to retaliate now more than before?


Question - do you know how dogs are regarded in the Muslim world?


Do you know why saying he "Died like a dog" would be an insult?


Hint - your western opinion of dogs won't matter to them.



All Trump had to do, all he had to say was that the special ops teams got him, he's no longer a threat, thank them, do the usual "God bless" blah blah, and that was it.


Instead he spent minutes upon minutes bragging about HOW he died, how movie like it was and other nonsense.


And ISIS, as he pointed out, has the internet.


He just resurged ISIS.


Tell me, how is Trump so awesome for doing that?

Good let them back out into the open where they are easy targets . Pussy footing around and talking nice has only ever empowered ISIS and their ilk . They scorn the western nations as weak and uncommitted ,
