Washington Post changes obituary headline to describe Baghdadi as 'austere religious scholar'
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 27, 2019 | Madison Dibble

The Washington Post apparently changed the headline of their obituary of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi from "terrorist-in-chief" to describe him as an “austere religious scholar.”

U.S. forces killed Baghdadi Saturday after a successful raid on a compound in northern Syria.

While many celebrated the death of the serial rapist and murderer, the Washington Post left many confused by giving him the title of “austere religious scholar at the helm of the Islamic State.”

I sure hope no one doxxes the person responsible for that headline.

Was the headline written by Ilhan Omar?

Sure would have been nice if the military had an attack hog to send down the tunnel after that POS.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sadly, we are exporting most of that tech. to China.

Attack Hogs Unite!

Imagine sending a hog after them , the hog wearing a radio activated explosive vest.

According to POTUS, the K-9 was wounded.

If the K-9 had died, I believe POTUS would have said so.

Sounds like Bozos intervened.

The Washington Post = Amazon = Blue Origin = Bozos.

All evil.

For a fellow Leonard Cohen fan:

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/leonard-cohen-happens-to-the-heart-video-903070/

“Leonard Cohen’s experience as a Buddhist monk is the inspiration for the new video for “Happens to the Heart,” the first official single off the late poet-singer’s posthumous final album Thanks for the Dance.”

The “Happens to the Heart” video, directed by Sia collaborator Daniel Askill, is the latest in a series dubbed Nowness, a partnership between the Cohen estate and Sony Music Canada that will feature international filmmakers creating visuals to accompany Thanks for the Dance tracks.

Baghdadi took pleasure in raping young girls considered to be nonbelievers. women and girls were transported to a building in Raqqa, which acted as a viewing gallery for the Baghdadi’s men as he raped them.

The Post left out the fact that Baghdadi was also their local correspondent in Northern Syria. /sarc, or maybe NOT.

The Deep State enemy we face includes a pan-national alliance of intelligence apparatuses that support each other as the CIA and WaPo support one another.

An example of their working is the Barry/Clintons/Kerry-supported attack on Benghazi and associated ruse on the American public (purposeful neglect of Stephens’ security, claims about the video, the film-maker arrest, the Egyptian 9/11/2012 “protest”, Susan Rice, media face-time, etc.) with the goal of supporting the budding ISIL (ptui!) with Libyan weapons, American taxpayer-supplied currency, logistics, intelligence, and other valuables.

The Left would call out policies under Stalin as “ultra-conservative Communism” if they could.

Ning!, Ning!, Ning!, Ning! Ning! We have a winner!

In advocating it, GHWB called it: ”The Third Way!”

The Washington Post is all about misdirection of attention away from reality.

Misdirection: Familiar Leftist Tactic
