Al-Baghdadi’s Death Came Despite Trump’s Actions, Military Officials Say

Mr. Trump’s abrupt decision to pull forces from northern Syria disrupted meticulous planning for the raid on the ISIS leader and forced the Pentagon to press ahead with a risky night operation.

5. lolololol

Thanks for the laugh- it felt good

16. ...

Wasn't meant to be funny.

[question everything]

3. But, of course, the "genius" knows better

[nolabear]

4. OIC. That makes perfect sense in so many ways.

I could not imagine him having the discipline to command a sensible operation. That stupid “something just happened!” tweet is far more his style.

6. The military is turning on him

Tough situation they’re in. Not too different from intelligence. But there is much they can do and stay within their oath.

11. Yes. They are in a tough spot.

If they openly confront him then they essentially destroy the American concept that the military always obey civilian leadership. But if the day nothing, they become complicit with the destruction of our republic.

I think that we are going to see a lot more "leaks" or "the real story" background from the military, CIA, NSA. Their oath to the country literally require that they find a way to do something.

15. Good.

I wondered about that last minute, "but we're gonna leave a few troops behind to guard the oil" thing. Now we know it was likely how the brass got around Trump's idiotic withdrawal in order to save the mission.

7. I've been waiting for some facts to seep out.

9. CNN just reported that the Russians

are denying any knowledge of, or participation in, the raid. Hey, that's not what Donnie said!

[oldsoftie]

14. thats funny. Usually it'd be the other way around; "we gave permission.."

and then the us would say nope we never asked

[Pepsidog]

8. I figured at least a day for the truth to one out. He truly cannot do anything right.

10. You know what would boil Trump's shit?

If it comes out that military brass at the Pentagon were so unsure of Trump that they set up a conference call with President Obama for advice.

12. That's a horse of a different color...

Mr. al-Baghdadi’s death, they said, occurred largely in spite of Mr. Trump’s actions.

13. a horse's ass

[eppur_se_muova]

17. WOW, this is almost exactly what I expected to learn -- Special Forces saw it was now or never.

Anus Orange forced the Kurds into retreat, so they can't spare any more effort to help the US. Big rush to take advantage of whatever intell assets were still there, before the chance evaporated. And a lot of extra risk for US troops.

Thanks, Obama !
