The Washington Post was forced to issue a correction after columnist Max Boot said Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi was not a coward because he evaded capture by committing suicide.
Boot initially stated in his Monday column that, "The assertion that Baghdadi died as a coward was, in any case, contradicted by the fact that rather than be captured, he blew himself up."
After backlash from people accusing Boot of praising Baghdadi in an attempt to make a dig at President Trump, the Washington Post deleted the line and issued a correction.
"An earlier version of this column included a sentence questioning whether Trump was right to call Baghdadi a coward because he blew himself up," the paper said. "The line was removed because it unintentionally conveyed the impression that I considered Baghdadi courageous."
Anti-Trumper #1.
Liberal tool playing dress-up.
It’s interesting how many bad people are in the “mainstream” “conservative” movement. Better late than never too find this out.
Max Boot approves of this statement:
Hitler was not a coward because rather than be captured, he shot himself.
Still it must be hard for the left wing msm to see its importance dwindling to almost nothing.
And CRUSHING to twitter that it is the Number ONE outlet for Trump to reach people with.
al-Baghdadi was a coward because he chose to kill himself rather than face justice in a criminal court.
Of course. So what else is new with WaPo? They have their foot in mouth before they know it’s there.
Max Boot approves of this statement:
Hitler was not a coward because rather than be captured, he shot himself.
I wonder if he approved of Bill Maher’s similar comment regarding the 9/11 terrorists?
The dirty little secret is that the DC Beltway media has been filled for years with liberal propagandists masquerading as conservatives for the sole purpose of convincing their readers and viewers to support the corporate/globalist agenda of their employers. Max Boot and Jennifer Rubin are two perfect examples of this.
According to the cfr. Org
Max Boot. ...
Expert. .....
Max Boot is a historian, best-selling author, and foreign-policy analyst who has been called one of the worlds leading authorities on armed conflict by the International Institute for Strategic Studies. He is the Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow in National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, a columnist for the Washington Post, and a Global Affairs Analyst for CNN.
Yes, indeed.
Words have meaning. When conservatives say certain things, those things are NEVER overlooked. However, on the other side....
What is it with ugly DC men who think wearing a hipster hat and tying a scarf in a way that would make Melania blush is attractive?
How many 'armed conflicts' has he actually been in?
I had to tweet to him:
Don’t forget he blew up 3 of his children with him...being afraid of enduring the full consequences of one’s actions is cowardly - no matter how you spin it.
If you loved America as much as you love venal and vile terrorists who also murder children you might understand that.
What a liar he is.
Just my opinion, but I don’t think Jeanne Kirkpatrick would approve of this guy....
Blew himself up with three children.
A real Profile in Courage, he.
