Baghdadi was located in an area the Syrian government was not going to occuoy anytime soon, the Islamist forces ;eft are not very technologically sophisticated, and the only other party is Turkey and friendly forces. <br /><br />Any remnant of ISIS cold not deduce what was taken by looking at what was left. It might be to prevent some things, like names, from being made internationally public so that someone would know their connection was known. But this also means people don't know enough to connect the dots.<br /><br />The compound was destroyed as a matter of routine.<br /><br />The best reason would be so that it couldn't be used again.

That's so that our enemies could collect the downed aircraft and gain valuable intelligence to be shared with other enemies of America. <br /><br />President Trump, however, unlike his predecessor, is neither stupid, evil, nor in league with our enemies, and ordered these strikes performed for perhaps two reasons. One, possibly to destroy any useful intelligence left behind by our raiders, and two, to obliterate the site so that it should not become a destination for jihadi pilgrimage or subject for filmed hagiography. If any aspiring shahids should stop by and check out the scene, they can get an idea of who is the weak horse and who is the strong horse.Nichevohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591460407621898458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-52755154758583950862019-10-29T08:12:39.747-05:002019-10-29T08:12:39.747-05:00Michael K said...

No dog ever outranks a person in any real sense, and no person is ever deterred from mistreating a dog because of some silly rank the dog has. Dogs are given ceremonial ranks, and they start at private and get promoted from time to time whenever a commander thinks it's not too silly. They even get a stripe taken away if they misbehave, again only if the commander doesn't think it's too silly.<br /><br />Dog handlers are carefully selected and trained, and no dog of that caliber is ever going to be handled by someone that mistreats it.

Baghdadi decided to bring his three kids along on his attempted escape, and then it was he who decided to kill them when he was cornered and detonated his suicide belt. He could have sent the kids to safety or he could have surrendered instead he chose to kill his kids instead. <br /><br />This misdirection is similar to what we have seen o our Southern border, where illegals quickly found that they could participate in Catch And Release y having kids along. Courts are said that ICE couldn’t hold ids ad then decided that separating parents rom their kids was also not acceptable. Thus Catch And Release if Ted are caught with kids. And thus the rent-a-kid market was born with many of these kids repeatedly crossing te border with their new “families” Bruce Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815293023158025662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-2603618561386026672019-10-28T21:45:49.067-05:002019-10-28T21:45:49.067-05:00Eye in the Sky

This is the 21st century: We fly remotely piloted drones over enemy territory for 12-18 hours at time, they're sending high-def full resolution color video back to the US via satellites; USAF combat air controllers are on the ground in combat areas doing air traffic control right there where it is needed and directing aircraft operations and missile and bomb strikes; in short: soldiers these days are connected when in combat.Narayananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03007500560335813723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-65675990542101014382019-10-28T21:13:41.643-05:002019-10-28T21:13:41.643-05:00The say that the dog was only "slightly injur...The say that the dog was only "slightly injured" and is Back on Duty<br />yea!<br /><br />Serious Question: WHERE'S ITS PURPLE HEART??gilbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949243924046064880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-46891908759146319212019-10-28T20:50:42.727-05:002019-10-28T20:50:42.727-05:00"Whoever watched Baghdadi screaming and cryin...<i>"Whoever watched Baghdadi screaming and crying in fear also watched 3 children in terror." - Ann Althouse</i><br /><br />No video of Kayla screaming in terror as al Baghdadi raped and killed her.Michael Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127450762129879267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-82917328469631589142019-10-28T20:46:37.492-05:002019-10-28T20:46:37.492-05:00Again, Trump talked to the special operators.

He called some of his fellow republicans "human scum" just the other day. And he said his friends Omarosa and Scaramucci were "fired like dogs," too.(It's as dangerous to be Trump's friend as it is his enemy.) And there have been so many "rats" in the Trump administration that I lost count a long time ago. <br /><br />Trump constantly insults people with schoolyard epithets. His supporters love that about him. They raise their kids to behave the same way.bbkingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662095322838120661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-21054217295645877242019-10-28T19:21:20.095-05:002019-10-28T19:21:20.095-05:00"I bet @nytimes @washingtonpost news desks ar...<br />"I bet @nytimes @washingtonpost news desks are already looking into tweets he sent as a puppy"<br /><br />per @JohnWHuberIngachuck'stoothlessARMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042427284494828012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-4484911855478421022019-10-28T19:06:00.783-05:002019-10-28T19:06:00.783-05:00"Askim""Askim"Ingachuck'stoothlessARMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042427284494828012noreply@blogger.com
