White House Releases Photo Of Trump Watching Baghdadi Raid From Situation Room
The Daily Caller ^ | October 27, 2019 | Chuck Ross

The White House on Sunday released a photo of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence watching from the Situation Room as U.S. troops carried out a raid of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s compound in Syria, that ended with the Islamic State leader killing himself with an explosive vest.

Trump and Pence were joined by National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and Brig. Gen. Marcus Evans, the deputy director for special operations, as they viewed the nighttime raid Saturday.

U.S. Special Operations forces led the raid of al-Baghdadi’s compound in Barisha, in northern Syria.

Trump said that al-Baghdadi died after U.S. troops forced him into a dead-end tunnel at the compound, “whimpering and crying and screaming all the way.”

“He died like a dog. He died like a coward. The world is now a much safer place.”

He died after detonating an explosive vest, killing three children along with him, Trump said. (RELATED: ‘Whimpering And Screaming’: Trump Details Baghdadi’s Last Moments)

Trump said Baghdadi’s body was mutilated by the blast, but U.S. forces were able to positively identify him through a DNA test.

I wonder if Michael Moore and his ilk, will similarly condemn our killing of this ISIS leader, saying he should have been taken alive, yadda yadda yadda.

Undoubtedly, the Bad Daddy should have been zip tied, handed a lawyer and a microphone and a dance card with Adam Schiff's name on top.

Indeed. My desk hasn't been that tangled since 2004.

They probably have bigger fish to fry rather than worry about whether their network cables are neatly organized.

Just me. Cause I’m in the industry. I’d guess all the unplugged cables are the ones they tried but didnt work. Proper Organiztion saves time in a time when you need to act swiftly.

Regardless. I had a lot worse things to say about the Obama pic from obl.

POTUS, Trump I beg and request, that you immediately release the portions of the tapes recorded that show this, cold hearted, human, animal, abuser and taker of life in his last moments before he killed himself and family. Let the American see what Obama & his Democrat scum & vermin, released from USA authorities to do his slaughter and torture of American innocents!!! America wake up!!!

Obama looked like a tiny, inconsequential bystander in his situation room photo.
Trump is a real leader.................

I believe that was because his image was photo shopped into the larger picture and the scale was off. Obama was not in the room when ben Laden was taken down; likely off, stoned in the Lincoln Bedroom.

There’s a reason why they don’t all work.

I'm glad that the kids he took out were his own. It must suck for a big bad terrorist to go out whimpering and blowing up his own children instead of his enemies. I wonder if the k9 got injured while choking on a chunk of Bagdaddy’s flesh or maybe it got hit by a flying piece of his blown up body?

That part upset me, because dogs die far more honorable deaths that this filthy human rat did.

But I do understand the point.

Table looked disgusting—cables protruding.
Very very disrespectful.

I do not believe he blew himself up.

I think he was killed and they are taking heat off the team.

The Army Chief of Staff is wearing the new Army uniform identical to those worn in WW 2. Called Pinks and Greens, its a brown uniform that looks very sharp.
