Wow that was extremely fast!

Trump says that Baghdadi's second in command was killed too! It on took him two days to say this! Why didn't he say that it was possible to this have happen on Sunday? You would think that there would know where the #2 man was before the raid?

failed to materialize when the announcement of getting the first guy was made (failed miserably in causing any measurable response from American taxpayers/voters when he first announced the first guy being taken down).

And as to the first guy being taken down too...this is in doubt too, the Russians have claimed to get this guy too, six times at least from what I've seen, and they (rump officials) were still doing genetics testing to see if it was truly this guy.

rump is desperate, and trying desperately to outdo Obama (which in my book, there is no way to outdo Obama, he's in a class by himself).

it is a cell based revolutionary movement... similar to what Che set up in Bolivia.

Killing the #2 doesn't mean anything at all. al Baghdadi was a "inspirational leader" and now a martyr to the cause. Far better would have been to either kill him and cover it up, or arrest him and put him in a deep prison cell where he would never be heard from again.
