Even as the news started trickling out with the rumors, POTUS teased everyone with a Tweet saying something big had just happened. Check the time stamp on this.

U.S. targeted Islamic State’s al-Baghdadi: official
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States has carried out an operation targeting Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a U.S. official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The official did not disclose details of the operation and did not say whether it was successful.
Other U.S. officials contacted by Reuters declined comment.
Newsweek, citing a U.S. Army official briefed on the result of the operation, said al-Baghdadi was killed in the raid.

ABC is also reporting the same thing but they also have a video up saying that one of his wives and a child were apprehended trying to cross into Lebanon with phony identification too.
And if he IS dead, the progs here will claim that President Trump is “using assassinations as part of his foreign policy” and he should be impeached for it.

Pres. Trump said this morning that al-Bagheady died liked a dog, crying, like a coward.
I believe him.
Weird thing is the Dems are all butt-hurt because Trump didn’t brief them on the operation, in an area we were already active, before the raid.
I mean, it wasn’t like Trump was ordering an invasion of a ‘friendly’ nation and commit an act of war…

“Fingerprinting” a corpse blown or shot to smithereens? And, ‘Bin Laden was buried at sea, How convenient. I didn’t believe this while Barry had his feet on the desk, and, I don’t believe this, now. Show me the bodies, or it really is “rumors”. If the media is saying it, it’s a lie.

Wow, I never used to be this clairvoyant:
“Baghdadi’s Body Chucked Out Of An Airplane Into The Ocean” – 10/29/2019
Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi allegedly had his body thrown into the sea from a US military aircraft after he was “afforded [his] religious rites according to Islamic custom,” according to a report from Reuters.

Big question: If this guy was blown to smithereens – like Bin Laden allegedly was – what was thrown into the ocean, and, who did it?
Bigger question: Did US military (or intelligence community – or both) lie to Trump about this op?

For everybody’s information, they verified it was the scumsucker himself by using a quick-DNA comparison if the blood-soaked well-pureed corpse. What did they use for comparison? Well, it seems that one of his Lieutenants gave us a pair of his underwear for samples (ewwww!) so they could make sure al-WhoseYourDaddy was well and truly getting his 72 Virginians.
A good time was had by all. ;P
