He's lying about everything related to the operation.

How, if when US forces were approaching and al-Baghdadi fled into a tunnel, would we know his last moments?

The WP quotes IQ45, "There Baghdadi, who Trump said was “whimpering and crying and screaming,” detonated an explosive vest, killing himself and three young children he brought with him."

Did we bug the tunnel with cameras or microphones prior to the attack? What were they watching in that photograph where they are all looking grim, directly at the photographer?

Just to embellish how great and powerful and tough he is ...... it's sickening. And his idiot followers lap it all up.

All of that gilded detail is probably pure fiction.

One day, the troops there will tell us what really went down.

At a minimum, the operation casualties will reveal we lost a drone/robot.

How did U.S. confirm the body was bin Laden's?

(CNN) -- It took mere hours to confirm that the person killed in a compound near Pakistan's capital was Osama bin Laden.

How did officials know that the man who was shot in the head Sunday was really the world's most wanted terrorist?

DNA, among other things, senior officials told CNN.

Officials compared the DNA of the person killed at the Abbottabad compound with the bin Laden "family DNA" to determine that the 9/11 mastermind had in fact been killed, a senior administration official said.

It was not clear how many different family members' samples were compared or whose DNA was used.

During a press briefing Monday afternoon, John Brennan, President Barack Obama's adviser on homeland security and counterterrorism said they had "preliminary DNA intelligence" ahead of the strike.

Among the five killed in the compound, one of them was one of bin Laden's adult sons, officials said.

Also to identify bin Laden, a visual ID was made. There were photo comparisons and other facial recognition used to identify him, the official said. A second official said that in addition to DNA, there was full biometric analysis of facial and body features.

The idea was to reduce crime lab backlog. That resulted in the development of a field DNA apparatus over four years. The Pentagon's development arm (DARPA) was one of the sponsoring and testing agencies.

He was winging it all the way - the most hilarious part was when he kept saying that the persons involved in the raid were communicating with him and calling him Sir over and over.

was just a pathetic bystander who ran into a cave. Today's appearance had one purpose only: to shake his little mushroom dick at Obama and claim al-Baghdadi was more important than bin Laden.
