Trump watched the special forces operation to kill Baghdadi via drone footage, instead of a body-worn camera, so did not see the moment the ISIS leader died, according to military and intelligence officials.

However, military sources said the president would not have been able to see what was happening inside the compound or the moment Baghdadi fled to a dead-end tunnel with three of his children, according to the New York Times
.

There was also no live audio of the daring raid, which was the culmination of years of intelligence-gathering and hastily put together once Washington got word that Baghdadi would be at a certain hideout near the village of Barisha.

I don't think a cave or tunnel were involved, he's going to be impeached and that's all that mattered was to have that feather in his cap, to show his cult followers he was a man of action, and to distract from the impeachment..who cares that children died.

and he was doing his usual awkward pauses in the wrong places and carefully enunciating. That was no ad lib. His rallies are ad lib. We can all tell the difference.

not even worthy of an off-season TV movie.
