"A US air strike today in northwest Syria killed senior Al-Qaeda leader Abdul Hamid al-Matar," said Central Command spokesman Army Major John Rigsbee in a statement.

There were no other known casualties from the strike, he said, adding it was conducted using an MQ-9 aircraft.

I wouldn’t take that bet. I’m afraid you’re right.

“There were no other known casualties from the strike, he said”

“He,” I presume, is Thoroughly Milquetoast Millie. Note the pregnant denial. “No other known casualties” means they’re doing the three-monkey shuffle.

Photos “Matar”. Singing, “Oh dear what can the Matar be” other than splashed all over the desert. That’s what matters, Little Pieces of Matar.

Probably a 9 year old blown to smithereens.

Show us the Americans and CIVs escaped safe from Afghanistan. You can blow up a whole bus-load of mastermind terrorists, Brandon. But you still cut and ran and left Americans and allies in the lurch in a very dangerous place, along with some deadly toys. You are a dangerous lunatic, and you think people are so stupid they’ll forget so long as you change the subject. Show us them.

Right. Probably a herd of goats. And we’re supposed to believe anything from liars?

Not even competent liars. They keep getting caught. Now Bill Clinton. There was a liar. He knew what the meaning of ‘is’ was.

Y’know, I kind of miss “Slick Willie” Clinton. (Does that make me a masochist?)
There was the consummate political grifter. He could unleash that glib tongue and Aw Shucks his way out of things that would destroy other pols. Even when he got caught he knew to tie his accusers up with legal chicanery that would make the old Byzantine rulers proud.

This new crop of liars are as convincing as a five year old telling you he didn’t eat the cake with icing all over his face, hands and shirt.

Ever notice how every Al-Qaeda leader is a senior leader. These little kills are like whack-a-mole. You take out one and another pops up. Only way to kill them is blow up the machine.... but that of course takes balls and conviction, something the US no longer has.

I know. BS Artistry is lost now. His wife is still around, sort of like a kelpie in a loch. But she can’t lie worth sh!t, either. She mostly kills people whom she fails to intimidate or who become inconvenient. Her husband, he was the consummate liar par excellent.

Jen Psaki is the very worst. Every time she lies to me, I feel dirty and insulted.

It’s always a top leader, never a little nobody. Just like every reincarnation is always a king or queen, never a servant.
