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.

“Austere Religious Scholar”? I’m sorry but did Mohandas Gandhi die again? I thought it was a lunatic terrorist psychopath that got blown up?

I don’t think you can call it a fish wrap either. It would poison the fish. Bird cage liner. Nope, dead birds. Toilet paper? Nope, your ass would shrivel up and fall off. I don’t know how to describe WAPO.

Yes, he committed suicide, after being chased by American forces with attack dogs into a sealed tunnel and taking three children with him in a last act of evil.

Released by Bush in 2004.
Apparently apprehended again afterwards for a period of 4 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Bakr_al-Baghdadi
A number of newspapers and news channels have instead stated that al-Baghdadi was interned from 2005 to 2009. These reports originate from an interview with the former commander of Camp Bucca, Colonel Kenneth King,[52] and are not substantiated by Department of Defense records.[53][54][55] Al-Baghdadi was imprisoned at Camp Bucca along with other future leaders of ISIL.[56]

Well Trump is president at the time so killing a terrorist leader has to be a bad thing. To our modern leftists Trump is a greater enemy than any Islamic terrorist.

Yes, and I also wonder if Martin Luther King, Jr would think he had a lot in common with this person.

I saw that Business Insider claims to have the true and complete story, but I refuse to relinquish my ad blocker in order to read it.
