1. Dear leader is such a big baby......

[Blue Owl]

2. Baghdad Blob's Big Boom-Boom

3. Interesting. When Obama took out bin Laden, he had been

Eviscerating tRump at the White House correspondents dinner.

Once again, tRump fucks things up.

4. Putting men in harm's way to assuage

his bottomless Obama envy?
Asking for a friend.

[crickets]

15. *ding!* WINNER!

Why can't someone muzzle this idiot? How dare he tweet about an op while it is ongoing? I just can't even. Will someone in the media PLEASE nail him for not bothering to think about intelligence protocols and about the safety of his own troops? I long for the days when we had someone with enough sense to stay silent out of respect for the gravity of the situation, send out the appropriate representatives to give a proper statement to the press, and later step up to the microphone when the situation is stabilized to thank those responsible.

Instead of statesmanship and respect for the military trying to do their jobs, we have embarrassing little snotnosed Donny tweeting "I-know-something-you-don't-know!" to the entire world. *headdesk*


eta - sorry if I got a little het up, there.

19. Yes. So incredibly dangerous.

He has to go and soon and we, have to move past ridicule to action.

[flotsam]

5. Hey Lame-O

One terrorist dead < 100 terrorists escape < several thousand terrorist no longer under Kurdish control.

You done fucked up boy, and one "muslim" looking corpse ain't gonna erase that.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

24. Especially considering that they had to dig up his rotting corpse before

shooting it at least 30 times...

[Woodycall]

27. Understand but

you have your math signs backwards.

[Skittles]

6. LOL

Trump acts like he thinks he is in the Navy when all he is doing is playing Battleship

[greyl]

7. "further verification is pending"

A U.S. Army official briefed on the results of the operation told Newsweek that Baghdadi was killed in the raid. And the Defense Department told the White House they have "high confidence" that the high-value target killed was Baghdadi, but further verification is pending.

8. So, he's waiting until the nerds in the editing bay have the announcement video ready to roll?

Please tell me he's not trying to re-make Obama kills Bin Laden?

[liberalguilt57]

9. Newsweek is reporting al-Baghdadi is dead.

Newsweek is reporting that military sources say ISIS leader al-Baghdadi has been killed in special ops raid ordered by Trump. We shall see. If this is true, Trump is going to be insufferable at tomorrow morning’s announcement.

“The United States military has conducted a special operations raid targeting one of its most high-value targets, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), Newsweek has learned....A U. S. Army official briefed on the results of the operation told Newsweek that Baghdadi was killed in the raid....”

10. Trying for an Obama announcement?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. Oh FFS! How desperate is this dipshit?! nt

[Sneederbunk]

12. Instead of being in the Situation Room, Trump was on the golf course.

[Leghorn21]

13. "ME ME ME, it was ME who did this!!!!"

idiot

Just keep this in mind, LOSER:

Stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden.
The Navy Seals killed Bin Laden.

17. I'll make sure to turn the volume off when I turn on the t.v.in the morning. The news may be

Good, but the messenger is deplorable.

[Beryllinthranox]

26. I'll take what I can get.

One less monster in the world.

[Roland99]

18. Have to wonder - Was this MORE Quid Pro Quo?

Twitler gives up the Kurds to Erdogan who tosses back a tip on Baghdadi so Twitler can claim a win?

[chowder66]

20. That was my first thought. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. So more Trump self congratulatory bullshit

Since 9/11 the head of Al Quaida and now ISIS has been killed. Someone always stepped up and took their place.

[RainCaster]

22. BREAKING NEWS: You can't impeach a war hero

Is that his new strategy?

[tclambert]

23. I thought Trump said last year that ISIS was gone, defeated.

I had to check it out. I was wrong. It was TWO years ago. In December of 2017, he declared victory over ISIS.

[moondust]

25. Didn't know he was still alive.

Haven't heard anything about him for years. Not sure how much value he had as a target with so much of ISIS defeated/scattered/imprisoned. Was he even a danger to anyone without his troops?

[NurseJackie]

28. I'm sure there's a next-in-line who's ready to take his place.
