Pentagon can't confirm al-Baghdadi was crying before he died (barf alert)
WRAL TV ^ | 10/28/19 | Helene Cooper, New York Times

Posted on 10/29/2019 4:10:27 AM PDT by Freedom'sWorthIt

WASHINGTON — The country’s top military officer said on Monday that he does not know where President Donald Trump got his information that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State leader, died “screaming, crying and whimpering.”

Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at a Pentagon news conference that he does not have similar information, but said Trump may have gotten his details from a conversation with military personnel on the ground who were involved in the raid.

It’s a primal, uncontrollable response.

An apex predator is coming for you.

Once again, POTUS is being undercut by those who are supposed to be helping him see his agenda through. And people don't seem to understand why I get so angry at the likes of Gen. Milley, John Kelly and the seemingly-countless others who've decided to stick their fat faces in front of a microphone and trash POTUS.

With friends like these, ...

Ho hum...

There goes the fake-news NYT.

Again.

Their headline should have read: Times is crying because it “...can’t confirm al-Baghdadi was NOT crying...”

The Milley interview was on TV. The General said he had only spoken with the officer commanding the raid and they didn’t talk about such details as crying and whimpering. In other words they spoke of the military details.

I don’t care if he was dancing a jig.

He blew himself and his kids to pieces. How do you blow up your kids?

That’s the tragic part of this. His children still had a chance in life. He took that from them. I know some will say that they were radicalized, etc., but they are kids and their future thoughts and lives were not written in stone by their father’s sins.

Well, you know... the article is from the discredited NYT’s and it relates a “story version” that a turd with press credentials asked, what on the face of it sounded like a legitimate question for the General at a press conference, so he felt compelled to try to answer it in a way that most turds could understand. Generals, by their very nature, are expected to either always have the answer, or at least know where to go and who to talk to get the answer.

His response appeared to be honest (if you can believe the NYT article) “(do) not know where President Donald Trump got his information that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State leader, died “screaming, crying and whimpering.” Furthermore, “but said Trump may have gotten his details from a conversation with military personnel on the ground who were involved in the raid.”

Again, when a General (in this case, a Commander-in-Chief) wants the real skinny, the President knew where to go and who to talk to for the answers. And as far as stating the video will show the truth... I’d be willing to bet that the President is baiting the demoRATS and their willing accomplices in the media to scream bloody murder and demand and beg for the release of said video... only to find out that the part where bigdaddy is “screaming, crying and whimpering” must remain classified in order to protect the “emotionalilty of the fragilistic snowflakes and their itty bitty feelings”... after all, there were children present!

The kids; OTOH, were full of bravado. Standing erect and shouting, “Bwahaha! Come and get us you infidel curs. My dad will make you sorry you ever...”

Lord, what fools these mortals be. RIP kiddos. You deserved better than the POS that spawned you.

Exactly. I don’t care if it’s true or not. The purpose of saying it was to denigrate the extremists. Mission accomplished.

They just don’t get it, do they?

I guess they would be offended to know that FDR called the Japanese “Japs” and the Germans “Krauts”.

Oh that’s right, he was a Democrat. Never mind...
