Future historians will write of the hero dog that personally ripped out Baghdadi's throat and shit on his corpse.

The Caliph committing suicide in a tunnel while being pursued by unclean dogs is such a perfectly delicious Fuck You counter-narrative to ISIS. The Hollywood epic writes itself.

Trump's rambling speech announcing Baghdadi's death. Is it possible that he was shaken because he couldn't handle what was potentially rather violent/gory footage?

Interesting article in the NYtimes the other day about how difficult it is to write briefing reports for this President knowing that he could blurt out things that should not be divulged publicly.

Surely deciding what to say to the public is within the powers of the POTUS? And if you don't trust your boss why work for him?

The problem in a nut shell for a lot of career diplomats and intelligence types who really care about their country.

Yes. If you care about the US you don't work for Trump.

Just give a Nine-Dash Line map some prominent screen time and it'll be good.

Name not declassified - because knowing the dog's name might put his littermates at risk?  :D

You might be able to tie a dog's name to the owner, who is presumably a special forces operative.

On landing, US special forces commandos blew holes in the walls of the compound and called on Baghdadi to surrender, the military said. But he fled into a tunnel and detonated a suicide vest, killing himself and two children he had taken with him.

"You can deduce what kind of person it is based on that activity," said the head of US Central Command, Gen Kenneth McKenzie.
After the raid, the compound was destroyed in an air strike.

Gen McKenzie said the destroyed buildings were left looking like "a parking lot with large potholes".

He added that he could not confirm President Donald Trump's graphic description of Baghdadi whimpering and crying as he died.

Disagree.  If they made the hit based inference and soft intel, that'll piss off the liberuls, and the tards will lap up their tears.
