...U.S. Operation Kills ISIS Spokesman in Separate Raid From Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
The Daily Beast ^ | October 27, 2019 | Anna Kaplan/Spencer Ackerman

Posted on 10/27/2019 11:58:21 AM PDT by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

The CIA targeted and killed ISIS spokesman Abu al-Hassan al-Muhajir in a separate raid, from the one that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a U.S. official confirmed to The Daily Beast. “We never stopped patrolling, we never stopped analyzing intel and developing targets. We just slowed down during the Turkey invasion,” the official told The Daily Beast’s Spencer Ackerman. Newsweek reports that as Trump announced the death of Baghdadi, Hellfire missiles targeted Muhajir by Ayn al-Bayda, near Jarablus in Aleppo province. The operation that targeted Muhajir comes just one day after a raid targeted ISIS’ leader in the Idlib province of Syria, where Trump said he detonated a suicide vest as U.S. forces closed in. Muhajir was named ISIS spokesperson in 2016, according to Newsweek.

We tracked the “escapees”. First we pull our force out of Syria, the prisoners escape, we track them back to the hive. That is my bet.
And I thought letting the isis prisoners escape was brilliant. They went from being prisoners requiring fair treatment to fair targets all of their own volition. I can’t hardly take all the winning!

Trump’s press conference today about killing Al Baghdadi, he made a single statement that got my attention.

I’m paraphrasing, but Trump said “we also grabbed Computers & Intel that will help us discover the ORIGINS of ISIS”.

President Trump’s troop movement caused ISIS to believe Al-Baghdadi was safe to move...

THEY WAS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone plays checkers while President Trump plays chess.

As the once admired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters once said, “The way you deal with Islamic State, these bloodthirsty, blood drunken terrorists, is to kill them, keep on killing them, until you kill the last one and then you kill his pet goat.That’s how you deal with them.”

Too bad he went off the deep end.

Going after the chiefs, instead of just the Indians. This tells me he’s serious about just ending it, and the force guarding the oil fields is temporary.

I’m interested to know if the trove of information, which purportedly tells how ISIS got started, may be making some people in high places here in the US very nervous.

This is a total loss for the left. They lower their fag flag at half.

Mine too. I think it was interesting that he mentioned that. I hope some people are getting very nervous right now.

They were the first ones with the story of the raid last night, not long after Trumps tweet..

Wonder who their source is
