We don’t need to follow his poor example, do we?
We've also seen this story before.We don’t need to follow his poor example, do we?
Hats off to our great military, and to President Trump, for this victory against evil.
Seems impossible to not have him be replaced. I do find it interesting this happened somewhat quickly - it makes me wonder if it’s an enemy of enemy situation.Always good to hear a bad guy is gone. The bigger challenge is how do we keep him from being replaced and to use this event to cripple the organization even further. Credit to our intel and military as well as to Trump for whatever role he played.
Do you think this is something that would have happened even without us pulling out? Timing becomes questionable.
It is odd, it has a closing up shop feel. And it also seems like the US military & Kurds seem to be taking a chunk out of Turkey in maybe their last turn together. This is near Idlib which should have been a maximum No-Go area for Isis, but only because Turkey, Syria and Syrian and Turkish supported groups were there. Perhaps they thought deference to lines drawn during the war doesn't matter at this point.Do you think this is something that would have happened even without us pulling out? Timing becomes questionable.
Well said...good to get one of the top people. Where does it lead us going forward.This is obviously good news, but I worry that our reversal of course in Syria is by far the bigger long-run story here. Not an expert on the region and I'd like to be wrong about that.
Yeah my first thought when heard suicide vest beyond the cowardice was hoping none of our troops or allies were hurt by that.They just showed a short video on CNN of an explosion. It was taken from what looks like a few miles away. It was also a pretty large explosion. I'm hoping that all allied troops are safe.
At this point it's not clear if the building was destroyed by a vest, our missile, or both. My hope is that it was both. If so, troops would have been out of the area before our missile strike.Yeah my first thought when heard suicide vest beyond the cowardice was hoping none of our troops or allies were hurt by that.
Should probably delete. This is the crap that Joe does not want.Trump, “I put that suicide vest on him. It was the best vest, really nice fit.”
Word is, no American troops were injured. Speculation is that they obliterated the site so that ISIL couldn’t turn it into some kind of shrine.At this point it's not clear if the building was destroyed by a vest, our missile, or both. My hope is that it was both. If so, troops would have been out of the area before our missile strike.
If there's one lesson that terrorists should learn, it's that "Hide next to a military base" isn't a successful deterrent.Per VOA reporter, this was close to a Turkish military base.
Was probably successful then.It was just reported on MSNBC that House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff received no notification or briefing on the Baghdadi operation.
I guess his days of being the head of a terror cell are over.50-70 Delta Force & Rangers, 6 helicopters.
- Baghdadi was ID'd using biometrics facial recognition technology. Apparently his head survived the blast of the vest.
Wouls the House Intel committee be notified of such things normally?It was just reported on MSNBC that House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff received no notification or briefing on the Baghdadi operation.
See, I would have said they aren’t over for that joke.I guess his days of being the head of a terror cell are over.
Adam Schiff as chairman would normally be notified, one of the eight who are kept in the loop on such things.Wouls the House Intel committee be notified of such things normally?
Fwiw I take it this means right after it happened, not before. I'd think Congress (Republican and Dem leadership both) would ordinarily learn of something like this before the press/public, even if just slightly before.It was just reported on MSNBC that House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff received no notification or briefing on the Baghdadi operation.
He is purely partisan hack along with the “news”source reporting it, just stating an honest opinion. Save the inaccurate dramatics please.This is a terrible post. So unpatriotic. We have one government with co-equal branches that serve a functional role in our national security. You are doing no favors to this country by pulling the crowbar that Trump has placed between the Executive Branch and Congress. It’s sadder still that your sentiment against Schiff in particular is based only on conspiracy theories, and not facts.
This is a little unfair IMO. The president (any president) has public appearances all the time. It's statistically inevitable that some major "wins" will occur at about the same time as one of them.Hope someone asks if raid was coordinated in any way to coincide with his World Series appearance.
scared of leaks. wowIt was just reported on MSNBC that House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff received no notification or briefing on the Baghdadi operation.
Then stop posting these conspiracy theories. This is akin to the no offense, but.He said they’ve been surveilling for two weeks. I don’t doubt the judgment of Special Forces, but I don’t trust Trump, and would like to know if timing was influenced accordingly.
You are embarrassing yourself and showing exactly what’s wrong with this forum. Just because someone doesn’t share your views you just can’t handle and and make up inaccurate claims like above. Sad.Take responsibility for your posts. That Schiff is a “partisan hack” is your opinion, based on propaganda. But America has a long tradition of policies ending at the water’s edge. Blind allegiances have destroyed any unity in our country. You proved that.
Then stop posting these conspiracy theories. This is akin to the no offense, but.
Celebrate the win.
Political mistake. There's the Biden photo with Obama at the table in the decision room.And.......he just said this was bigger than Bin Laden. Of course. Unreal.
What about Cheese Curds...did they play a role? Asking for the FFAInformation only. According to Trump.
Dude, give it a rest. A rare good news thread and you and MSNBC referencer look for any conspiracy to discredit.Not a conspiracy. This is how facts work. He said he knew about the raid for three days. That’s when appearance was scheduled.
