Al-Baghdadi DEAD

[ArcadiaGP]

Again, why in the “obituary” section in the first place?

This one is NYT, but sounds like journos had this in the works for a while.

Two sources have confirmed to the New York Times that Baghdadi’s location in Idlib was confirmed as far back as early July, so 3.5 months ago. I spent months working on his obituary. Here’s what I can share now

Exactly. If Pelosi wants to be informed on this kind of thing, she shouldn’t attack everything the president does and actually support some things that deserve support.

When you constantly throw rocks on the playground and act like a bully, don’t be mad when the other kids don’t wanna play with you.

I think the point was missed here. Theres no reason to tell Pelosi because theres no reason he should be telling anyone. Nothing specific about pelosi, or someone more or less likely to leak, he shouldn't be tipping off anyone who doesnt need to know, full stop.

Im sure it's just because he doesn't like her, what could leaking it could have accomplished?

Thank God we will never know. So feel free so speculate your life away....won't mean diddly squat.

Reading that post article you would think they were talking about some sort of diplomat rather than the guy heading up an organization that liked to behead people on tv. Has tds in the big media really gone that far? I wonder what sort of eulogy they would have given Pol Pot?

WaPo isn't big media. No one reads it but SJW types. Not many of them even.

OOPS: 'SNL' Mocks Trump 'Bringing Jobs Back to ISIS'...As News Breaks of ISIS Leader Killed

Now this is an Epic Satire Fail. Saturday Night Live went on the air at 11:30 pm Eastern time with an opening skit where Alec Baldwin's Very Fake Trump was thanked by Pete Davidson's Very Fake ISIS Member for "bringing jobs back...for ISIS." Six minutes before, Jennifer Griffin of Fox News was tweeting that ISIS leader Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi may have been killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Syria. John Santucci of ABCreported it via Twitter at 11:53.

Does anyone even watch SNL any more? The funny went out of it decades ago.

I did hear Ed Henry comment in Fox & Friends this morning that the House Intelligence Committee's recent work has been devoted solely to intelligence gathering as it relates to impeachment.

I think Rep. Ratcliffe said the Intelligence Committee has’nt had a terrorist related briefing in over a month due to the impeachment inquiry.

I believe that.

The impeachment inquiry is a good thing for gun control, though. I'll give them that.

Again, why in the “obituary” section in the first place?

Because half the media and democrats are a bunch of radicals themselves and muslim terrorist sympathizers

 

[printcraft]

See, if obama had not ordered this “scholar” to be released he wouldn’t have been killed and all this lamenting would not be going on.
Thanks obama

Newsweek: U.S. Strikes Kill ISIS Spokesperson One Day After Baghdadi's Death in Syria Raid

Good to see that Newsweek respects ISIS's long-running commitment to gender-neutrality and diversity.

For democrats, no low is too low

This is a direct result of globalization of media. We no longer have an American media, or a media that cheers what is good for America. They believe they are elite and owe nothing to America. It clearly shows in their coverage...

Chris Wallace just asked VP Pence why Trump didn't inform Pelosi. Hahaha. I wish Pence could have answered honestly. "Well, Chris, with the recent win-at-any-cost Demo policy, why would Trump risk it? Dems would rather see dead Special Forces, than dead ISIS *******S"

.

I read they confirmed Al-Baghdadi's identity by scooping up some of the goo he left behind and completing an on-site DNA test. My understanding is that it's not possible to get DNA results that quickly. Am I missing something?

 

[Phase2]

I don't know what specific tools/test they ran, but the FBI has a system that can get a DNA match against millions of people in their database in 90 minutes. I imagine if they had some type of DNA sample (hair/etc) from their previous investigations that they could get a fast match against a single known DNA target.

Interesting. I didn't realize that technology existed. Thanks for the link.

The more plausible reason, was that he didn't know either, until someone knocked on his door 5 minutes before the OP, and said "Uh, Mr. President, can you ask your daughter to get off you lap for a sec? You probably need to see this."

Actually, Pence was at the operations center observing the action with Trump, generals and others when it happened. But keep digging for more ways to libel Trump.
