Congratulations Army on a job well done.
BTW, you have to love our President, "He sniveled like a bitch....."
Congrats to the boys for doing what they do best. Making terrorist snivel and whine before they die.
In the MSM Head-Lines,,
"Trump murders local religious leader, leaving parishioners outraged and lost."
"...unnamed Pentagon sources decry this killing as a potential crime against humanity."
"....former CIA director warns that this is just the thing that can cause resentment towards the US. Calls for Trump impeachment."
Impeachment to follow,, someday...
In the MSM Head-Lines,,
WTF? What about all the crimes against humanity that ISIS has committed? Where's the outrage for all the victims of this "local religious leader?"
Thank you, Mr. Trump, for having the balls no one else in Washington has. And thank you, gentlemen, for making terrorists snivel and whine. Well done.

Well done (secret US SOF SMU that carried it out) and to President Trump and also the DOD, DOS and career CIA personnel that had a role in making it happen.
This is probably bigger or as big as getting UBL and yet there is no celebration in the streets of America. There has yet to be a public outing of the SMU that carried out the mission and secrecy has been maintained from planning and execution to post mission AAR. May the QP’s remain so. No books, no speeches, no further commentary.
As for the butt hurt Democrats in Congress...go f..k yourselves! You don’t deserve the professional respect you have not shown the office of the POTUS and FLOTUS and the career diplomats and patriots that serve the United States of America. Again Nancy and Chuck go suck a bowl full of d...s, I wouldn’t have told you either.
Nancy has been allowed to get to the point where she feels she is an institution to herself and that she is the all-knowing, all-seeing, omnipotent mother. She needs to continue to be left out of things so that she may crack up even more than she is already and be seen for what she is -- a clown. I hope that there are many more opportunities ahead to leave her out of the equation. Maybe she will get mad and take all her toys and leave. I can always hope....
Have a nice long dirt nap. Enjoy your virgin goats.

Still very little information on the operation. Surely a SEAL must have a book deal or movie rights? What kind of public relations is this?

Sounds like the President wants to release the film footage...staring voice over provided by Chuck Norris as Colonel Scotty McCoy.
There was a GReat photo circulating this morning of Nancy Pelosi reviewing the full mission brief for the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi mission.
Apparently she is claiming that didn't get notified prior to hit time and that her approval was required because she is equal in government to the Commander in Chief - you can tell by the look on her face that she was NOT happy about being left out of the loop. An unconfirmed source said she was actually invited to the mission briefing and that she DID infact show up to the briefing. Reliable reporting inside the White House have said that she showed up to the briefing, she took her seat at the briefing, and then as soon as the POTUS sat down she jumped up and decreed that the POTUS was unhinged and that he was having a meltdown. She then stormed out of the briefing before it even started - then later when she was handed the mission folder to review (post incident) she flipped her lid - the attached picture was captured on a cell phone that an evil republican must have snuck into the SCIF

Well done to our SpecOps warriors.
Well done to our CINC, especially the part about not informing the communist DNC traitors in advance.
Thank you, President Trump! And Bravo Zulu for all of those that participated in the obliteration of this s.o.b. :lifter

I went to K-9 Handler School on Okinawa (I wasn't a handler, they just had an extra dog that needed training and I was the training dummy). If you watch Police K-9 training the dogs go for the extremities, the legs and arms. Not so all military dogs. Police train with a sleeve, we had full body suits including the head, which was a lot of fun in the Summer. Of course, they are all trained for different jobs and not necessarily like ours were, but if I were a terrorist and saw a fur torpedo heading for me I'd probably blow myself up, too.

...fur torpedo...LMAO Pat. Friend/handler on a nearby department used exactly that term to describe his puppy, or I should say now, Puppy (Ret.). Don't know if it's true but I'd heard from a guy years ago that they could catalog over 100 individual scents - like a torpedo with a Rolodex. They'd sniff the whole patrol element before going out and anything different was in the wrong category. Like I said, don't know how accurate it is but they are amazing animals.

ISIS spokesman Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, potential al-Baghdadi successor, also killed in Syria, official says
Islamic State spokesman Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, considered a potential successor to terror leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, also was killed in Syria in a separate attack by U.S. forces, a senior State Department official confirmed to Fox News on Monday.
Al-Muhajir had been considered a “number two” to al-Baghdadi, according to the official.
The second U.S. military operation took place in Turkish-held Jarabulus in northern Syria, a 3-hour drive from where al-Baghdadi was killed near another border town with Turkey, Fox News has learned.

Funny because most of the Arabs I met and got to know over there don't like dogs. They don't keep them as pets like we do.

BREAKING: Obama CIA deputy Michael Morell on CBS "Face the Nation" slammed Trump for engaging in "locker room" talk about bringing back the slain ISIS kingpin's "body parts," arguing he should have SHOWN MORE RESPECT under Islamic Customs as to not offend our enemies...
Like Obama did with Osama bin Laden's body.
Meanwhile the WH is preparing a small party for the winners

Outside of this news source; absolute crickets!
But an O-5 11A with access to classified data in the White House knows how to interpret a 15-minute phone call and determine that “Extremely Disturbing” information was exchanged between two elected presidents. :rolleyes: (and to think, I could have saved 15% on my car insurance!)

There was a very subtle but nicely denigrating tweak in the WH messaging on this topic I saw today in an e-blurp from the WH. RE the collective Suzy Creamcheese freakout*, the WH didn't refer to them as lame-stream, or fake-news. They called them "legacy" media. They know their supporting demographic understands that to mean old-fashioned, like 3-speed on the column, and mainframe rooms with disk drives the size of washing machines, black & white TV... stuck in the mud, one big yawn. I thought it was a nice touch - "legacy media."
* and if you know what that is then nice to know ya, we're of similar vintage.

CNN - “Was Baghdadi Raid Dog Motivated by Islamophobia?”

NY Times - “Delta Force’s Belgian Malinois, Breed a Favorite of Hitler”
MSNBC - “Cat Advocates Demand Equal Military Opportunities”
I like the picture they released of the dog with a caption going something like this: "Racist war dog in black face chases cleric into tunnel to certain death." :D
A gret article which hits the nail on the head. It address our mission and the need for a unit that can execute full spectrum Special Warfare and not just a Special Operation.

(Piers) Morgan said many people appeared furious that Trump "may have done something right" and that they "just believe in screaming at anyone who doesn't fit their narrow worldview."
The government thought they had recovered more of Baghdadai's body parts...
...turns out that it was just a radiator hose from a Toyota Hi-Lux
