The follow up news surrounding the event is more interesting than the villain ever was.
The Lame Stream Media wasted no time.
Washington Post Mourns Passing of “Austere Religious Scholar” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi…
By sundance, the Conservative Treehouse
Reactions vary to the U.S. killing of ISIS terrorist chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. However, perhaps the most alarming headline was the sympathetic obituary from The Washington Post:
Glenn Instapundit Reynolds would like to point out in response:
AND UNLIKE OBAMA AND HILLARY, HE HASN’T CAUSED BLACK PEOPLE TO BE SOLD IN SLAVE MARKETS ANYWHERE, EITHER: Trump’s Defiant Message to Washington: My Approach to Alliances Just Worked.
Flashback: Obama’s team had the chance to kill ISIS leader Al Baghdadi — and they blew it.
Indeed, President Trump’s approach did work. Compare and contrast to the previous mal-Administration:

…
The 40-minute discussion took place on the sidelines of a United Nations General Assembly in New York. The meeting took place at the Dutch Mission to the United Nations on Sept. 22nd 2016:
[…] Kerry’s off-record conversation was apparently with two dozen ‘Syrian civilians’, all from US backed opposition-linked NGO’s in education and medical groups supposedly working in ‘rebel-held’ (aka terrorist-held) areas in Syria.
This opposition conclave also included ‘rescue workers’ which can only be ambassadors from the White Helmets, a pseudo NGO which serves as Washington and London’s primary PR front in pursuit of a “No Fly Zone’ in Syria, and it’s being bankrolled by the US, UK, EU and other coalition states to the tune of well over $100 million (so far).

When you listen to the audio recording (embedded below) it becomes immediately obvious what was going on in 2014, 2015 and 2016 as an outcome of policy from the White House. In addition, you discover why this jaw-dropping 2016 leak/story was buried by the U.S. media and how it connects to the prior 4 years of perplexing U.S. mid-east policy.
This evidence within this single story would/should forever remove any credibility toward the U.S. foreign policy under President Obama. It also destroys the credibility of a large number of well known republicans, and explains how the prior action placed President Trump into a precarious position requiring a careful approach.
Note also that President Trump deliberately declined to advise the Gang of Eight of the operation before it completed. I agree with Glenn Instapundit Reynolds’ take:
SENSIBLE: Trump Says He Didn’t Notify Congress Of Baghdadi Raid Out Of Fear Of Leaks.
It’s a sad but inescapable consequence of the dhimmocrats ongoing coup attempt.
