Al-Baghdadi detonated suicide vest, official says

[TheMightyQuinn]

The USA has never been pushed or shoved into wars , only coerced by their own ambitions/greed/need to keep the military industrial complex going ,or if they were advised by a really close ally who is given billions in aid .

What a load of uninformed drivel...as usual.

Maybe go read up on WW1 and WW2...

• Trump watched the raid in real-time from the Situation Room along with Vice President Pence, Defense Secretary Esper, the Joint Chiefs Of Staff including Chairman U.S. Army General Mike Milley, and National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien. The room also held other intelligence and military officials and advisors.

tl;dr

Boring. I'll inform myself of the facts when the movie comes out.

Finally. Although I thought they got him years ago? Or is this not the original leader

Chop one head off and another regrows in a cave elsewhere.

You are thinking of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi. He was killed in 2010.

I guess Trumps getting re-elected in 2020. The Lefty media and proponents are scrambling to downplay this, shooting themselves in the feet, and WoPo's headline is the title of their movie.

To think it was only a week ago when every "progressive" on this forum was telling us that US moves in Syria would allow ISIS to rise again...

Shouldn't be a surprise to anybody given the NYT's long history of having a soft spot for marxist mass murderers.

William SHIRER once thought he was ''the greatest of foreign correspondents to cover Moscow.'' In Joseph Alsop's eyes, he was a ''fashionable prostitute'' at the service of the Bolsheviks, and in those of the British writer Malcolm Muggeridge, ''the greatest liar of any journalist I have met in fifty years of journalism.'' The flamboyant, controversial newsman Walter Duranty, who headed The New York Times's Moscow bureau from 1922 to 1936 and enjoyed a longer tenure in that post than anyone on record, has long merited a biography. For beyond his questionable probity, he wielded great influence in shaping American attitudes toward the Soviet Union during its fledgling years, and even played a central role in pressuring Franklin D. Roosevelt to open diplomatic relations with Moscow - an event Duranty would describe, with characteristic opportunism, as ''the ten days that steadied the world.''

In this adulatory perspective, which led some to brand The New York Times the ''Uptown Daily Worker'' (and caused consternation among many of The Times's editors), such fascistic measures as the imposition of internal passports were praised by Duranty as essential ''to purge [cities] of undesirable elements''; the verdicts of the show trials of 1928, 1934 and 1936 were accepted by the prosperous capitalist Duranty as gospel truths; the resulting executions were seen as purgatory measures essential to the success of the Communist Millennium. ''You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs'' was Duranty's catchall phrase for the Soviet state's murderous excesses. Even more repugnant was his complicity in covering up one of the vastest mass murders in human history: the millions of lives destroyed in the early 1930's during Stalin's forced collectivization of agriculture, and his extermination of the kulak class through wholesale slaughter and state-imposed starvation. These are tragedies that Duranty dismissed for over a year, without even bothering to glean any firsthand evidence, as mere rumors, insisting that ''the 'famine' is mostly bunk.''

The move of US forces out, complicated the mission and it was consequently moved up the schedule.

He's always been on the run or in hiding
