Good job anti Trumpers, we'll never believe a word you and MSM say from now on. Firstly, Trump lies with such frequency that it's hard to take anything he says at face value. Secondly, Trump frequently takes credit for successes he had nothing to do with. So that's the context we're dealing with. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Another "useful idiot" bites the dust. That's how leaders of the former Soviet Union described foreign dupes used to spread Communism by friendship or force. Like the late Osama Bin Laden, Al Baghdadi, was an asset of US Intelligence. His job with the Alliance-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) was to end the Syrian "civil war" by bringing down the Assad government. Useful idiot Baghdadi made the same fatal mistake as his Al Qaeda predecessor, rashly biting the hand that fed. He deserted the FSA with a bunch of jihadist followers to carve out a brutal new Caliphate the world came to know as Islamic State (IS). America does not have friends, only allies - and historically has been harshly unforgiving of turncoats. It was just a matter of time before Al Baghdadi's Western paymasters caught up with him, as they did Bin Laden, and handed him his redundancy notice. Khalas jayid.

ThaiVisa has people who know what's really going on. You're one of them. Actually, I don't reckon Al Baghdadi was a "turncoat". In his case, he was simply no longer useful to the US government. And once he was no longer useful, when it made more sense to remove him, well, he was removed. America wanted to see Al Baghdadi contribute to the removal of Assad. And then remove Al Baghdadi. Assad is still there, Al Baghdadi was no longer useful. That's why he was removed. Plus, his removal meant that the present guys in the White House can take the credit. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkspeaker Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 6 hours ago, TopDeadSenter said: Sorry but mainstream media calling the vile Al Baghdadi an "austere religious scholar" and writing a lengthy glowing tribute to him is encouragement. The outpouring of hatred and abuse against President Trump who has done more for peace and prosperity in the Middle East than the last dozen presidents combined, yes, that is encouraging the remnants of ISIS too. People ought to be ashamed of their behavior following this incredible result by Trump. Full credit is due to him, anything else is encouraging terrorists. can you link to the lengthy glowing tribute ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's good to see Trump spreading positive feelings about religion among so many, ISIL is not as you suggest. According to the UN, the actions of ISIL (Daesh) cannot and should not be associated with any religion, nationality or civilization. ISIL is considered to have the worst record of human atrocities in all of modern history. They used death threats, torture and mutilation to compel conversion to Islam, and are responsible for the ethnic cleansing of ethnic and religious minority groups on a "historic scale". They routinely dominated captured peoples through terror, indoctrination, torture, mutilation, sexual violence. They are also guilty of killing children as young as 12 by using them in fighting, trading women and girls as sex slaves, rape, selling women at markets, burning people to death, the international distribution of snuff videos, and it just goes on and on. Don't think they were providing solace.

However, what I find disturbing is Trump's media 'gloating' which is typical of American behavioral habits which 'invokes' retribution from terrorists, especially ISIL Mark my words, the backlash from ISIL towards the US will be monumental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stevenl Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 7 hours ago, DannyCarlton said: Two good things came out about Trump during his press conference. 1. He oversaw the operation to take out the most evil man in the Middle East. 2. His honesty. Had no compunctions about admitting that it's all about the oil. He isn't withdrawing all troups from Syrtia, he's leaving a contingent to guard the Syrian oilfields as he now claims that they belong to the US and that the US will make many billions from the oil. Went on at length to justify that claim. It formed a major part of the press conference, Trump continually returned to it, yet not mentioned in the OP or anywhere in this thread. At last an American president has admitted that the US involvement in the Middle East and the deaths of thousands of US troups are all about the oil. According to a timeline posted earlier he oversaw the operation not even on TV but from the golf course. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiFelix Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 12 hours ago, wgdanson said: I heard on BBC News that there was an 'instant test' which confirmed this dead guy's identity. Is there an instant method of testing DNA as I read that 24 - 72 hours in a lab is the quickest. Instant tests are confined to US propaganda only. But I am not sure if they performed instant tests all of the other times they claimed to have taken him out. I also imagine, like in Bin Laden's case, there wont be a body to prove he's dead, The two of them are probably soaking up the sun on some tropical beach enjoying life on the pensions they receive as reward for the hard work they have performed for the US over the years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) My take on this: Baghdadi deserved this. The women and children with him didn't but that's on Baghdadi. 45 deserves some credit as he is the acting commander in chief. 45 made a big thing before that Obama deserved no credit for killing Bin Laden. That was wrong and hypocritical as 45 is now clearly expecting full credit for Baghdadi. BOTH deserved some credit. 45's speech was vulgar, bullying, and a thing of deep shame to all decent American people. There is ZERO percent chance that 45's speech didn't contain numerous lies about details but for now I do believe that Baghdadi is toast. This "win" for 45 does not cancel out his disgusting act of throwing the Kurds under the bus. This "win" for 45 does not mean the impeachment investigation should be stopped as they are unrelated. It was disgusting that 45 didn't contact the gang of 8 in congress before the attack. But he did contact Russia. This is a president that has called his opponents in his own party human scum. Charging those select people with leaking such a sensitive national security operation is obviously false and inflammatory. That's what he does -- divide, divide, divide. He regards foreign dictators much higher than fellow Americans. To add, he obviously massively exaggerated the impact of this raid. Isis is not over. He did not save the world.

A good read, for most. -- Events developed quickly once the White House learned on Thursday there was “a high probability” that al-Baghdadi would be at an Idlib province compound. -- By Friday, Trump had military options on his desk. -- By Saturday morning, the administration at last had “actionable intelligence” it could exploit. https://apnews.com/89e8716887514b95af5fea38d604ee30 Edited October 28, 2019 by rabas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway seeing the left start crying and whining and spewing their outrage is a sure sign something went right. Also the posts saying his remarks are going to lead to retaliation are absolutely moronic. Like they weren't already trying to kill us. Hopefully they get angry and stick their necks out so we can kill some more of them. It does seem that a few people can not stop from letting their blind hatred of Trump blocking them from seeing good news in anything. Also a big LOL at people wondering why Trump didn't inform the "gang of 8" I can not think of one single positive that could have come out of saying anything to them. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti-Trump people are livid that Trump got us out of Syria, citing ISIS as a huge reason to stay there. Logic would dictate they would be extremely happy Trump gave the order to kill Baghadi, resulting in a successful operation. But they're still not happy. I'm happy we're out of Syria. I'm happy Baghdadi is dead. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
