Al-Baghdadi DEAD

[Alamo]

What?

I thought the reports were that at least one K-9 died during the op.

I hope not. The story I linked didn't mention any others.

Again, no mention of other dogs, just the wounded one.

Piers Morgan was on The Apprentice, along with a lot of other liberal ****s, that might otherwise be nevertrumpers.

He's already been buried at sea. (That isn't being widely reported)

They could've at least cut him up for bait. Well, what was left of him anyhow. I don't understand why they do this though... same with Bin Laden. Truly, they should spread his remains out on a tarp and photograph them and send them out to all those sympathetic to his "cause".

Or better yet (if there were enough left of him to do so), impale his body on a spike and leave it at the Syrian border. It seemed to work for Vlad the Impaler. That's what he did with the invading Muslim hordes.

Reckon how long it'll be before they kill Baghdadi again?
The average for right now is about a year ever since April 2015.

Well thank goodness we respected the religious beliefs of a murdering terrorist responsible for the deaths of thousands. We sure wouldn't want to offend anyone.

Oh, but that WWI memorial that happens to be shaped like a cross? That's got to go! Oppression! Freedom FROM religion!

Military Dog Hurt in al-Baghdadi Raid Returns to Duty

Good!

I had read that when the SOB ran into the tunnel dogs were sent after him, and I was afraid they had been killed in the blast.

CNN has the scoop...

CNN has the scoop...

Probably raped a coed or two as well!

 

[Crittersdad]

He was made a good terrorist

How many time does this guy have to be killed?

Just once.

There goes that SCOTUS nomination.

<---- Look out boys he's wearing a suicide saddle!

Just confirmed that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s number one replacement has been terminated by American troops. Most likely would have taken the top spot - Now he is also Dead!

And we never knew his name

One of my concerns about the Obama administration was the extra-judicial determinations about who the US kills outside of its borders, outside of combat.

Al-Baghdadi is no where close to the line where it becomes a problem. Moving down the chain of command... maybe.

This isn't a criticism of Trump's approach yet, partly because we don't know enough about how the decision is made. Just voicing a concern.

ETA:
Just to re-iterate, this is the same concern-turned-criticism that I had about Obama's approach.

If being nominated to be CEO or COO of ISIS leads to immediate death from above or an ace of spades laid on your bullet-riddled corpse, the organization might have trouble filling leadership positions

"...outside of combat". ???

It'd be nice if they'd update the AUMF, but these guys are eligible to be killed on the spot, wherever that spot is, Syria, Iraq, Texas.

Who are "these guys"? Any member of Daesh or AQ? I'm not familiar with the document that supports that. POTUS as CINC has authority over our forces, but that isn't exactly a license to kill. Or if it is, that would be a good thing to make clear.

And... no. Not in Texas. At least, not as I understand the rule of law in the US.

And abroad, it depends on the status of forces (or other treaty) with the country at issue. Or the lack of any such agreement, I guess.
