BREAKING: ISIS Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Killed in Raid

Why do you have bases in Iraq?

 

The strongest most powerful military in the universe could never change an ideology or a religion. The Middle East has been barbaric for the last 3,000 years and will continue to do so for another 3,000 years.

 

Kurdish intelligence located Baghdadi.

 

The U.S. has over 700 military bases in over 120 countries around the world.

 

I guess Mrs Trump has been renovating the White House. This was the Situation Room when Bib Ladin was killed.

 

...and when Baghdadi was killed...

 

Yes I know.....but didn't Donald say he was bringing the Boys back from the sand he did not want to fight over?

 

Because we use them to fight the terrorist.

You do know why we have to fight the terrorist don't you?

Why do we have bases in Australia?

 

Indeed, and Donald will feel all the better for that.

 

What terrorists? Trump said he had defeated ISIS.

 

There are approximately 5,500 U.S. Special Operations Forces in Iraq, spread across 7 different facilities, and another 5 bases in Iraqi Kurdistan, being used as training bases for Iraqi and Kurdish forces.

 

Agree 100 percent-and no Americans harmed.

And someone get those special forces dags a steak!

 

Further evidence that the Kurds are still our allies.

That is counter to the MSM/lefts narrative and its been shot down as well.

 

Special Ops train? I thought they had an entirely different function.

 

And a very well deserved beer or bourbon or whiskey or all of the above.

 

They have been the ones killing ISIS and for good reason. They aren't doing it solely for the benefit of the United States or because they love us so much, it's because we arm them with weapons and we train them. al-Baghdadi's death is not going to undo the damage of the U.S. withdrawal. al-Baghdadi's death is potentially a significant step in degrading the capacity of ISIS to continue claiming supremacy in the jihadist movement, but it still doesn’t come close to overcoming the step backward the U.S. took in abandoning its Kurdish ground partners against ISIS in Syria.

 

In just over the past week, we have seen Trump engineer a peaceful resolution on the Turkish border, the withdrawal of our forces from northern Syria, and the deaths of ISIS number one and two leaders.

Its a resounding success-and he did it with the cooperation of multiple nations and groups.

He pulled it off.

 

There are so many to choose from, but I'll share one that I think takes the cake. Check out this headline: "Kim Jong-un’s Sister Turns On the Charm, Taking Pence’s Spotlight." Clearly, that should be in the Opinion section of their newspaper, yeah? Nope. It was actually in their Asia Pacific section. Here's the link to the article: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/11/world/asia/kim-yo-jong-mike-pence-olympics.html

Here's a quote from the piece:

"Flashing a sphinx-like smile and without ever speaking in public, Ms. Kim managed to outflank Mr. Trump’s envoy to the Olympics, Vice President Mike Pence, in the game of diplomatic image-making."​

Yes, the New York Times is so anti-Trump that they, and their readers, thought it best to compliment the Director of Propaganda and Agitation Department of the brutal regime of North Korea at the American Vice President's expense, simply because the American president is Trump.

Even the Times admits they changed their headline. Check out this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/06/reader-center/trump-mass-shootings-headline.html

Here's the New York Times admitting they changed the headline:

"Times editors were concerned that the initial headline — “Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism” — did not contextualize Mr. Trump’s message on Monday and decided to change it for later editions to 'Assailing Hate but Not Guns.'"​

Here's the New York Times admitting that the left-wing mob forced their hand.

"Many readers, including Democratic politicians and other critics of the president, condemned the first headline on Twitter . . . . As this conversation was happening among Times editors, readers began discussing the initial headline on Twitter. They rightly pointed out that the initial headline didn’t reflect the story accurately."​

Yes, like I said, you are beyond the pale, and continue to illustrate who here is naive.

 

If you're referring to the condition of an established caliphate, you are correct, however if you are referring to the terrorist organization we are at war with, they've existed for several years prior, and we've been at war with that terrorist organization this entire time, and will continue to be at war with them for the foreseeable future

 

I do not see anything anti Trump about the article regarding Kim's sister at the Olympics. She unfortunately out staged Pence but that is what it appeared to have happened. I watched the Olympics and saw the whole thing. As I recall Pence tried to ignore her which was good. The Times article did not praise Kim's sister it described what happened. I obviously did not like her being there but it was the South Kors call not ours that is their country.

Regarding the Times headline story why are you falsely accusing me of being naive? You have no basis for such a dispicable and patently false accusation.
Do you go around making false statements about everyone who you disagree with?
Or are you just upset because I speak the truth?

Back to the headline story. Where in the article did the Times say that a " left wing mob" forced their hand. Did they actually say that or is that some sort of Fake News you got from Fox?

I was not familiar with that story as I am sure that you are not familiar with millions of headline stories so why are you making up schiest about me. So what if Times changed a headline from the Twitter version to a subsequent one. They may have had a reason and it does not have to be a conspiracy.Do you not have the desire or the capability to debate with me using truth and facts?? That is a question not an accusation line you like to throw up.

 

What has been achieved is an object lesson, i.e., [expletive] with the bull and you get the horns.

 

Its an international language even terrorists understand.

 

Wow, conspiracy theory forum is thataway >

 

ISIS didn't declare war on us until 2014. But none of that has to do with the fact that al-Bghadadi was the leader of ISIS and the Caliph of the Islamic State.

 

Putin really doesn't like Trump. We had that reinforced again with this event.

Great job Team Trump!
