Are they sure about that? Could have been a body double.

“Kill one and a bunch more show up. it’s a never-ending battle.”

We’d have a better chance at eliminating cockroaches.

Keeping most of the Islamic cockroaches out of the United States, should be one of our 1st priorities.

If verified, it will be a big WIN for the Allies because this ISIS affiliated leader was as good a psychopath as you will find on earth. I’m betting on the French Foreign Legion guys. They don’t fool around. The word GITMO is Not in their lexicon. Their slogan is “Kill all the bastards and then celebrate with a fine Chianti”.

Great job, France!
Biden the pussy, demented puppet and his handlers have no balls.
Neither do the top military dumbasses Obama put in charge.

Frickin’ Milley and Biden!
This commie regime has to GO.
Yesterday!
No one has an ounce of respect for these regime members that installed themselves illegally in the whitehut.

Wouldn't the FFL prefer a Bordeaux or Burgundy (or something from their very own vineyards) over an Italian wine?

Retired legionnaires do have their own vineyard in Provence, but I’ve heard Kronenbourg beer is pretty popular among the active troops.
