Last night, the United States brought the worlds number one terrorist leader to justice. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead. He was the founder and leader of ISIS, the most ruthless and violent terror organization in the World. The United States has been searching for Baghdadi for many years. Capturing or killing Baghdadi has been the top national security priority of my Administration. U.S. Special Operations forces executed a dangerous and daring nighttime raid into Northwestern Syria to accomplish this mission.
No U.S. personnel were lost in the operation, while a large number of Baghdadis fighters and companions were killed with him. He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming. The compound had been cleared by this time, with people either surrendering or being shot and killed. Eleven young children were moved out of the house un-injured. The only ones remaining were Baghdadi in the tunnel, who had dragged three children with him to certain death. He reached the end of the tunnel, as our dogs chased him down. He ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children. His body was mutilated by the blast, but test results gave certain and positive identification.
The thug who tried so hard to intimidate others spent his last moments in utter fear, panic and dread terrified of the American Forces bearing down. We were in the compound for approximately 2 hours, and after the mission was accomplished we took highly sensitive material and information from the raid. Baghdadis demise demonstrates Americas relentless pursuit of terrorist leaders, and our commitment to the enduring and total defeat of ISIS! The reach of America is long. As you know, last month we announced that we recently killed Hamza Bin Laden, the very violent son of Osama Bin Laden, who was saying very bad things.
He was the heir apparent to Al Qaeda. Terrorists who oppress and murder innocent people should never sleep soundly, knowing that we will completely destroy them. These savage monsters will not escape their fate and they will not escape the final judgement of God.
Baghdadi has been on the run for many years, long before I took office. At my direction, as Commander-in-Chief, the United States obliterated his caliphate in March of this year. Todays events are another reminder that we will continue to pursue the remaining ISIS terrorists to their brutal end.
Baghdadi and the losers who worked with him in some cases people who had no idea what they were getting into and how dangerous and unglamorous it was killed many people. Their murder of innocent Americans Jim Foley, Steven Sotloff, Peter Kassig, and Kayla Mueller were especially heinous. The shocking publicized murder of a Jordanian pilot who was burned alive in a cage for all to see, and the execution of Christians in Libya and Egypt, as well as the genocidal mass murder of Yazidis, rank ISIS among the most depraved organizations in history.
The forced religious conversions, the orange suits prior to many beheadings, all of which were openly displayed for the world this was all Abu Bakr al-Baghdadis work. He was vicious and violent, and he died in a vicious and violent way, as a coward, running and crying. This raid was impeccable, and could only have taken place with the acknowledgement and help of certain other nations and people.
I want to thank the nations of Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iraq, and I also want to thank the Syrian Kurds for certain support they were able to give us. Thank you as well to the great intelligence professionals who helped make this very successful journey possible.
I want to thank the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines involved in last nights operation. You are the very best there is anywhere in the world. I want to thank General Mark Milley and our Joint Chiefs of Staff, and I also want to thank our professionals who work in other agencies of the United States government and were critical to the missions success.
Last night was a great night for the United States and for the World. A brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death, was violently eliminated he will never again harm another innocent man, woman or child. He died like a dog. He died like a coward. The world is now a much safer place.
God bless the United States of America!
...or Coup Dungeons. They don’t deserve to be above the ground.
Those traitorous pieces of doo did NOT need to be informed. They would have leaked and taken credit for sure.
“My blood pressure incensed every time I watched CNN...”
Hmm...I agree with the sentiment but a little grammar nazi here:
“As I became more incensed watching CNN, my blood pressure increased.” is one possibility.
Anyway, the croaking of Abu Bakr al-Baghdad Bob can be summed up in one word:
WINNING!!!
No other President has held a press conference quite like this.
First and foremost, he explained in solemn terms the bravery and professionalism of our Armed Forces. He gave details on the danger of the attack to our troops.
He thanked other countries for their assistance — and put the blame on certain “European” countries who refused to take their ISIS recruits back to their countries.
He showed how the ISIS ringleader was a coward and “died like a dog” to take any glory out of the ISIS mission. He reminded us of the horrors of ISIS and their beheadings and other cruel murders. Yes, Black Mamba Ilan Omar, “some people” — Islamic radicals — “did somethings” absolutely evil!
He fielded many questions and gave great transparency — within security limits — to the planning and execution of the raid, magnifying its importance to the people of the world.
He let us know that Pelosi and the rest of the Dem hyenas are not to be trusted with delicate military operations.
He let everyone know that “hawk” Lindsey Graham was onboard with using American troops to guard the oil fields.
In short, it was another “perfect call” by our President.
And think of all the frequent stay points he's racking up too!
+P Excellent point
Yawn, whatever.
I love that friendly Chicago attitude....
;^)
Thanks for the post, bitt. A MUCH appreciated piece of news!
All,
You know that it is possible to send President Trump an email; write him at https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
I just sent this to POTUS:
Dear President Trump,
On the occasion of rendering Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to end-of-tunnel room temperature, BRAVO ZULU!
The world is a much safer place, thanks to you and our GREAT volunteer military!
Please keep up the OUTSTANDING WORK you and your administration are doing to Make and Keep America Great!
We Have Your Back!
Sincerely,
Frank L. Davis, Jr., MBA
Captain, USN (Ret)
Sending POTUS an email takes but a few minutes, and he needs all the “ATTABOYS” he can get!
FReegards, and Eagles Up!
That works, but I meant their general, and sometimes monetary, all-around support for the leaders of our enemies.
Our troops and President did a great job!
Yes. There’s a new video from Amir for those who sometimes cross into Religion Forum territory. Has some good things to know. It was yesterday, before the al-Baghdadi thing, but it has very recent stuffs.
Stating the obvious is a-ok! It is such a gift to have a leader like President Trump.
When met with determined, superior force, these diaper-heads always flee to their caves whimpering and screaming
Too many on this site think ISIS can't be beat. Well, Trump's determined focus and superior force has all but destroyed ISIS.
More winning. God bless Trump.
May the Lord deliver us from the utter non-leadership of the Lying left and the hand-wringing RINO's.
Right now, I think God has plans for America and the World - merciful plans to sweep across the world to gather as many as possible to himself one last time before that horrific day comes. That horrific day is coming soon, but not yet.
Great Leftist line there. The Delusional Dems couldn’t have said it better themselves.
..........also waiting for ‘the squad’s reaction to this great news. Omar? Tlaib? AOC? Pressley? Katie Hill?
I’m certain that they’ll put out some glowing commentary soon.............../sarcasm
Is the dog that ran into tunnel O.K?
Well, I doubt the law requires the POTUS to tell Congress everything Everytime he authorize an operation. As long as he told some Congress cutters, he’s fine.
