    Al-Baghdadi takedown blunts criticism of Trump's troop pullback; Dems out of the loop

    President Trump's successful operation to take out Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi sent Democrats scrambling on Sunday, as several top party leaders had complained publicly in recent days that the White House had no "real plan" to combat the terror group following the U.S. pullout in Syria.

    In a dramatic sign of how Democrats' messaging apparently backfired on Sunday, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" ran an ill-timed sketch suggesting that Trump had created "jobs" for ISIS -- just hours before the president held a news conference announcing al-Baghdadi's demise. The sketch apparently aired around the time the two-hour late-night raid in northwest Syria was underway.


    "It's genuinely fascinating watching Democrats in real-time struggle to figure out what to say about this," journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote on Sunday. "They want to be patriotic and anti-ISIS, but also need a way to malign Trump without contradicting their gushing Obama praise over [Usama bin Laden]: not an easy balancing act. Good luck!"...

    Washington Post publishes al-Baghdadi headline referring to ISIS leader as 'austere religious scholar'


    "Stop, read this & think about it: last night a ruthless, brutal terrorist who threatened our country & is responsible for the death of American citizens was killed in a successful operation by US military & @washingtonpost described #Albagdadi as an 'austere religious scholar.'"

    I grinned when Trump gave the eulogy saying he was a coward and died like a dog, kicking and screaming. Another win. Is there any wonder why our troops love their Commander in Chief?

    Love the way Trump said he died as a coward and that he didn't tell Pelosi about the planned attack

    Unbelievable that the WP called Baghdadi an austere religious scholar...they are disgraceful and not fit to be a news publication

    Washington Post columnist issues correction after claiming Baghdadi not a coward

    Boot also deleted a tweet in which he accused Trump of lying about Baghdadi's gruesome death and claimed the notorious terrorist leader was not a coward. "Trump could not have heard 'whimpering and crying' because there was no audio, and Esper and Milley refused to confirm those details. The assertion that Baghdadi died as a coward was contradicted by the fact that rather than be captured he blew himself up."

    Washington Post has issued a correction.

    They believe the claim that the leader of ISIS isn't a coward might "unintentionally" convey the impression that they are complimenting him.

    WP has Trump Derangement Syndrome. The ISIS leader was a coward for having his wife and kids shield him. That is cowardice.
