I'm against what Tweety Trump does, and a lot of what he says as he literally BRAGS, he brags! about killing Baghdadi, a single (1) ISIS leader, while he has literally FREED ~11,000 ISIS as he abandons the Kurds t slaughter by Turkey!
The military Generals cannot verify Tweety Trump's description of Baghdadi crying because they did not see it. One general suggested perhaps Tweety talked to the soldiers that were in the compound that night. lol! Do I detect some sarcasm in the general's account?
"Centcom commander: Islamic State disrupted, but likely to adjust in wake of Baghdadi’s death"

"The general said he could not confirm Trump’s description of Baghdadi “screaming, crying and whimpering” in the minutes before he detonated his vest. “He crawled into a hole with two small children and blew himself up,” McKenzie said when asked about Trump’s characterization. “I’m not able to confirm anything else about his last seconds. I’m just not able to confirm that one way or another.”
McKenzie also rejected reports that the mission had to be sped up because of Trump’s order to withdraw U.S. forces from northeastern Syria earlier this month. “Absolutely not. We chose the time based on a variety of factors — weather, certainty, lunar data, a variety of things like that,” McKenzie said, adding that the withdrawal order “was not a limiting factor.”
I am trying to be unbiased, logical and fair, BUT THE SILLY EXCUSES FOR THE TRUMP DECISION TO ABANDON THE KURDS COMING FROM THE GOP MAKE IT VERY HARD! The GOP Trump defenders are nuts in their defense of the indefensible!
The GOP think it is OK Tweety Trump sends out nasty tweets against and American war hero testifying in the impeachment hearings, merely reporting the facts. If Tweety Trump did nothing wrong in the Ukraine phone call how and why is the testimony gong to hurt him?
Tweety betrayed Kurds guarding thousands of ISIS fighters, then kills one big target to claim "VICTORY?" I think he goofed!
It takes years to work on details of an operation like the one that got Baghdadi, and the Kurds helped us, NOT RUSSIA! Kurds have boots on the ground, not Russia or Turkey. Why wouldn't Turkey or Russia go capture and kill Baghdadi themselves? Russia and Turkey likely do not want him caught is why!
Tweety knows timing of events to create distractions . . .
Just curious if Tweety Trump set up the mission to kill the terror leader Baghdadi to distract our nation from the impeachment proceedings?
Tweety did not inform the House of Representatives, a snub, because, as he asserts, he didn't want any leaks?! Tweety has physically broken when he chooses to ignore a branch of the government. Are you kidding me?!
Triumphalism over killing of Baghdadi in US raid may ‘fuel another cycle of violence’

"“The death of him, like Bin Laden before him, was significant that it took out a very charismatic leader,” said former Pentagon official Michael Maloof. Yet he expressed concern that it would “give it [IS] a fresh impetus to continue on.”
Middle East expert Nicolas Davies suggests the killing, as well as other raids, may only inspire some people for more violence.
“In fact, Syria’s research has found that for instance – the study of civilians in conflict – found out that most people join one of these armed groups out of self-protection – to protect themselves, their families or their communities after their lives have been destabilized by these kinds of counter-terrorism operations or invasions of foreign forces,” he argued."
There's more!
"The reported death of Baghdadi comes amid an impeachment saga in the US. While the killing of the world’s top warlord could help Trump “temporarily as a foreign policy victory,” it is unlikely to “lessen the fervor of the radical Democrats” to pursue impeachment proceedings, Maloof said.
Moreover, “there might some arguments saying whether this all was 'trumped up' to throw everybody off on the impeachment thing,” he noted.
While Trump expressed gratitude to Moscow for facilitating the operation, the Russian Defense Ministry was seemingly taken aback by the US president’s words, saying that it failed to register any US coalition strikes in the Idlib area at the time of the Saturday raid. The US leader’s statement should be taken with a grain of salt, Davies agreed."
"Centcom commander: Islamic State disrupted, but likely to adjust in wake of Baghdadi’s death "

"A high-risk raid last week that resulted in the death of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is expected to temporarily disrupt the group’s activities, but the militants are likely to regroup and may attempt revenge attacks against the United States, a senior U.S. commander said Wednesday.
“It will take some time to reestablish someone to lead the organization, and during that period of time, their actions may be a little bit disjointed,” Gen. Kenneth “Frank” McKenzie Jr., who heads the U.S. Central Command, told reporters at the Pentagon. “We don’t see a bloodless future, because unfortunately this ideology is going to be out there.”"
Tweety Trump's bragging does not defend American, does not make us look stronger, does not help win the peace, nor does his impetuous, childish, immature school-yard bully-like words enhance national security in any way.
"With Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi gone, what's next for ISIL?"
ISIL chief is dead but threat of his group remains, leaders and analysts warn, as speculation over next leader begins.

"Andreas Krieg, assistant professor at the Defence Studies Department of King's College London, said al-Baghdadi's death was "mostly of symbolic importance".
"I've said for years that this organisation has become somewhat of a virtual caliphate; a franchise that other groups can buy into and basically sell around the world," he told Al Jazeera, describing ISIL as a "virtual community" that has been "leaderless".
"The killing of the so-called self-proclaimed caliph doesn't make any difference in that because the different groups that existed and continued to exist after the collapse of the physical caliphate will continue to fight in the underground in Syria and Iraq, but also in Afghanistan and sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere," he said."
Tweety Trump wants Americans to think he has saved them and the "world is a safer place." He's wrong, and he knows it, but he wants to take as much benefit for re-election from this ill as he can!
"Kurdish forces in north Syria warn they cannot secure Isis prisons for much longer"
Camp officials have described being threatened and attacked by Isis members in camps which are under-guarded
Bel Trew Middle East Correspondent
"Kurdish officials estimate that an additional 800 Isis family members may have also fled from Ain Issa camp, which was home to some 112,00 displaced people until the entire camp fled amid the fighting. ["fighting" with Turkey . . . as US troops departed}
Among them were nine French suspected Isis members and at least two British citizens: Tooba Gondal, from east London who joined Isis in Syria and worked to recruit others to follow her, and Zara Iqbal, also from east London.
Before the conflict erupted, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces were holding some 12,000 Isis fighters in detention centres and camps, as well as tens of thousands of their family members."
