This is great. The media can say what they want about those soldiers who took out the trash but they did this world a great service.

A terrorist has been taken out, but the Washington Post and other propagandists would have us believe that President Trump murdered a good and Godly man. I bet they wouldn't even eulogize a member of the Trump Administration as kindly

On another note, I thought "Islamic State’s terrorist-in-Chief" was a good and accurate headline. They should have just kept that. I really would like to know who changed it to "religious leader."

Cpl (Join to see) - You're alittle off the mark Kirk. The first headline stated "Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Islamic State’s 'terrorist-in-chief,' dies at 48." The second one stated "Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State, dies at 48." The third and final one states "Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, extremist leader of Islamic State, dies at 48."

A spokesperson for the paper, Kristine Coratti Kelly, later said "Regarding our al-Baghdadi obituary, the headline should never have read that way and we changed it quickly." Don't get me wrong, it's definitely messed up anyone with the authority to change a headline would change it to something like that, and I hope that person gets canned. But don't try to frame it like they made it that way from the getgo and only changed it when the outrage started.

Cpl (Join to see) - I think its funny you spoke about biased media and then posted a biased media link. You know you do not have to be a republican or affiliate with the right to hate terrorists... don't you? Labeling the entire left as loving terrorists is not biased and intellectually dishonest? I think we are better than this.

angela you missed the semantics game. read a little further, it's all been clarified.

mark, just for you since you missed it, the USA Today, a left wing biased rag, called them out on it also. There is no need to dismiss relevant information, just because you don't like the source. Is that a better source for you?

CPT Jack Durish is just trying to obfuscate the facts here I feel. Not a single article I've read from any newspaper has attacked the operators from this mission. Donald Trump didn't kick down the front door Jack, stop using the soldiers from this mission to cover for his ego.

I don't think anybody is mourning Al-Baghdadi. What they are upset about is the way the president handled it. He chose to inform Russia and Syria before even telling the Congressional Intelligence Committees, like Putin or Assad are more trustworthy than those who represent the American public in federal government.
