Syria Disintegrating: Part 2

[Eddie Teach]

I don't follow.

I don't believe you.

Trump won't give his generals any credit he doesn't have to, especially if they openly contradict him.

[Admiral Yi]

No I actually don't follow.

OK.  You better not be fucking with me.

I inferred from mongers post that he thought the quoted passage suggested some degree of uncertainty about the identity of the target they hit.  He insinuated that the general's expression of this uncertainty would create political problems for him.  I countered that, seeing as how the normal constituency opposed to assassination missions is the left, that those are the folks who would be upset by this admission.  And additionally, since the central organizing principle of the Trump/Tea Party/Q/Alt right is joy in upsetting the left/progressives, that this would gladden Trump's base and the commander of CentCom's job is in fact not in jeopardy.

What exactly is the big deal with killing Al-Baghdadi, anyway? Did he do anything notable? Did most people even know who he was before now? They are just appointing ISIS terrorist #32213 as his replacement now, so it doesn't seem like it was a big deal for ISIS, either.

I know who he was, but was he actually more important than some random terrorist leader? Bin Laden at least orchestrated the most major terrorist attack in modern history.

[Eddie Teach]

I don't know of anyone besides Trump who's saying he's more important than bin Laden.

Thank you. And no I'm not fucking with you.

My reading of the post was that the general, by not supporting Trump's made up stuff about whimpering and crying, made himself unpopular with Trump and/or displayed doubts about working for Trump.

If you mean the part about the central organizing principle is owning the libs, that part is correct. It's a whole movement full of derspeisses.

What? That's vastly over thinking his point. The general contradicted the crying story, and that's enough for Trump to turn on him.

News out of Syria seems to have gone quiet; are news reporters finding it increasingly difficult to sell their stories, the outside world just bored of it or is there a lull in the conflict?

No idea. It's like the Kurds have never existed.

[Maximus]

Kurds? Never heard of them.

[Valmy]

Kurds? Never heard of them.

Is that an Enver Pasha quote?
