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.

Exactly why would the general feel the need to say anything on the subject at all if he did not have precise information?

Because the general is playing both ends against the middle...trying to appear to not favor one version or the other. IOW should Trump be removed or not reelected, he wants to serve his full term as CJCS. It's what generals are good at...covering all the bases as well as their a$$es.
