{UAH} Trump says al-Baghdadi died 'screaming and crying.' U.S. officials aren't sure how he knows that.

We actually now know that Al-Baghdadi's assistant was killed too, the spokesperson of ISIS was killed too, and the replacement of Al-Baghdadi that George Okello posted yesterday has been killed as well.

 

ISIS needs to realize that it is not dealing with Democrats.

Folks,

 

In announcing the suicide death of al-Baghdadi, President Trump said: "He died like a dog, he died like a coward," Trump said. "He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way."

 

Now, the chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, is questioning the source of Trump's sadistic gloating. But, the chairman should have expected the president to exaggerate, conflate and perform for the cameras.

Top Pentagon officials on al-Baghdadi raid, Syria security

Scroll back up to restore default view.

While announcing the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, President Trump described the terrorist's death during the U.S. raid in unusually graphic detail — repeatedly claiming that al-Baghdadi died "whimpering, screaming and crying." But a top U.S. official who watched the raid with Trump in the White House Situation Room said he's not sure where the president got that information.

"I don't know what the source of that was," Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at the Pentagon Monday.

Trump announced al-Baghdadi's death in a televised statement from the White House on Sunday morning, a day after U.S. forces carried out the operation in Syria.

"He died like a dog, he died like a coward," Trump said. "He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way.

"The thug who tried so hard to intimidate others spent his last moments in utter fear, in total panic and dread," the president added.

An actual dog used by U.S. forces in the raid was slightly wounded, officials said. Milley said the animal is recovering and will return to duty with its handler.

Trump told reporters that he watched the raid from the Situation Room as it was carried out in real time with Milley, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Vice President Mike Pence, among others. The White House later released an official photo of the president and the top defense officials taken in the Situation Room.

"It was something really amazing to see," the president said, adding that it was "as though you were watching a movie."

According to the New York Times, the Situation Room had live overhead surveillance footage of the operation. But the feeds did not have audio, nor did they show what was happening in the underground tunnel where al-Baghdadi was killed.

Appearing on ABC's "This Week," Esper said he wasn't sure where Trump got "whimpering" from, either.

"I don't have those details," Esper said, adding that the president "probably had the opportunity to talk to the commanders on the ground."

After announcing al-Baghdadi's death, Trump said it was important to describe his last moments in vivid terms so as to deter would-be ISIS fighters.

"Frankly, I think it's something that should be brought out so that his followers and all of these young kids that want to leave various countries, including the United States, they should see how he died," Trump said. "He didn't die a hero. He died a coward — crying, whimpering, screaming."
