This gruesome, vivid and probably exaggerated description of dogs chasing down Baghdadi will endanger our personnel in the region.
— Dana Shell Smith (@AmbDana) October 27, 2019
When bin Laden was killed, we were careful to be clear that he had been given a proper Muslim burial. Not because we gave a damn about him but because it was important for our relationships in the region and safety of our military and diplomats.
— Dana Shell Smith (@AmbDana) October 27, 2019
Yeah, that was totally incoherent. On the one hand Obama was insisting that jihad terrorists had nothing whatsoever to do with the peaceful religion of Islam, and then he turned around and gave one of the world’s leading Islamic jihadists a respectful Muslim burial. This didn’t gain the US any respect or save any lives; it just made us look ridiculous.
Does Dana Shell Smith actually think that some of the jihadis in the Middle East will think, “Well, I was going to go easy on the Americans, but now that they have shown al-Baghdadi disrespect, I will crush them”? In reality, it is the exaggerated respect shown to those who have vowed to destroy us that makes jihadis see us as weak and ripe for the taking. The only thing they respect is strength, and the only thing Obama and Dana Shell Smith projected was weakness.

Martyman39 says
Compared to what he and his men did to thousands of people, this fate was too good for him if it actually happened.
Rarely says
“IF”??? Let’s think up a great conspiracy theory, put it on line, and see how long before it gets traction.
gravenimage says
Al Baghdadi’s death has been reported several times before–but this seems completely definitive.
Westman says
The scraped up remains-DNA will confirm it and his relationship to the children he killed by blowing himself to shreds. Some papa…
alex says
Marty: that’s true. Also, he doesn’t deserve a halal burial. Neither did Osama bin Laden, by the way.
Louis77 says
Jihadists know Allah rejects and condemns people who have even a small trace of pig flesh on them. Burying the remains of dead Jihadists with bacon fat would end Jihad attacks overnight.

These liberal Nazi traitors complain about everything President Trump does to protect America ! If Pres Trump walked on water, these socialist liberals would complain that he couldn’t swim!
They are all traitors for their actions against everything America stands for !
Trump,2030. Our only hope !🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Dana Shell Smith is a damn fool. Repeating her old boss Obummer’s foolish remarks.

Best we refrain from labelling people by being a “Non-anyone” Spiro.
Folk who are not muslim are referred to by the cult as ‘infidels”. This lumps many of us “nons” into their definition of us.
I prefer to be referred to as non-this or non-that, if you see what I’m saying.
I am a definite someone with a particular identity.
None of us is a non-anything.
I don’t want my identity explained as a ‘non-muslim’. Without (if you’ll pardon me) explaining who in fact I ‘am’…
Hope you don’t take this personally…

crawford421 says
She needs to be recalled and replaced with someone with brains.
Westman says
I wondered the same until looking it up. She was ambassador under the Obama admin. She is not a current ambassador and the position has remained unfilled since 2017. Proper ambassadors only serve the President and are not allowed to play personal politics.
RevG says
She must be glad she wasn’t in Benghazi….you know, after our respectable handling of Bin Laden kept Americans safe in the ..M.E.
Terry Gain says
Yes. Believing that Islam can be appeased is proof of incompetence.
gravenimage says
She is no longer serving–and a good thing, obviously.
Warren Raymond says
Obama has an envoy in nasty little Qatar, this den of thieves that runs the MuBro channel al Jazeera?
Unbelievable.
What then, is Dana Shell Smith tasked with other than fundraising and making sure Hussein Obama gets his marching orders?
“When bin Laden was killed, we were careful to be clear that he had been given a proper Muslim burial.”
We don’t know who or what was killed. We have yet to see evidence, like pictures of the cadaver & undoctored video from the raid. We do not know who or what was buried at sea, and to mention it is not a conspiracy theory, it is a demand for evidence, which was never provided. I think we’ve been screwed.
Terry Gain says
If you doubt everything you haven’t personally experienced, you have screwed yourself.
Ray Jarman says
Is this what TDS leads to? Having dog’s of war chase down a coward who slaughters innocent men, women and children is my idea of justice. There is probable not a crime against humanity that the subhuman scum never committed. “now that they have shown al-Baghdadi disrespect.” coming from an admirer of the one who called ISIS a junior varsity bunch of terrorists is classic and that he deserved a proper Muslim burial is pure insanity. I also hope he suffered and died slowly.
CogitoErgoSum says
What? Let’s not make Baghdadi out to be some kind of hero who died a noble death. He lived a life filled with evil. He caused a huge amount of death and suffering while he was on the Earth and he died a cowardly and ignoble death. Trump should tell it like it is so all the world will know what Islam led the man to do … and it WAS Islam.
undrbed cat says
Agree. It is Islam. But I also know that Islam is full of revenge, so I also think Pres. Trump should have limited his comment to an annoucement that was less descriptive of his ending, while making it known that movement is based on the Quran and Islam fo his motivation for his terror and savagery. This would inform the world we are on to them, it would inform and warn citizens about the false face of deception by Islam, explain it is based on Qurans and taught in Mosques that promote it is not peaceful, can harbor weapons and is nor a normal rellgion and will have no legal protection in this country to promote it. They will not stop, within seconds a newleader hater will step in , again arise and as our troops and generals are uninformed and need this education to stop this movement becasue they are in danger. If they are unaware that they are to the muslims terrorists. they wil be their prey after thier alliance or use is not needed.The junior varsity comment that was referred to by another commenter was stated by a informed man of the Quran, his approval allowed it spread thru Europe, the U.S. Canada, so now there are flooded, worse conditions and occupation of a true nature beginnning, never in my lifetime could I imagine such ignorance or or hidden motivations and violence could spread so easily, it just took a man of charm and smiles to pull it off a mirage of peaceful fantasy.
Robert Donator says
They are all cowards and cannot engage in frontal combat. They operate in stealth and in ambush killing innocents indiscriminately to instill fear so says the Quran 8:12 – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them” No reasonable person in his senses would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle unlike all other religions.We don’t need to pay attention to what Trump has said about latest Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, just 48 years old, who died crying and whimpering for mercy like a kid and also took 3 kids with him using them as shields to save his own grubby skin. It is not difficult to find his replacement as Islam has primed hundreds of them to take over for suicide in its name. No other “religion” offers 72 virgins in Paradise for committing suicide. Baghdadi must be having the time of his life “up” there.
Les says
Every dead jihadi should be scraped off the floor and their remains fed to pigs.
Savvy Kafir says
Not so long ago, I would have considered that to be major overkill. But at this point, I think that sort of thing might be worth a try. It might be a pretty effective deterrent. And if it saves the lives & limbs of some innocent infidels, at the expense of dirtbag jihadis who are already dead…
And at this point, I really don’t care what Muslims in general think of us. I’d like them to know that we realize they are our enemies, so maybe they’ll be more likely to get the hell out of the West, and go back to where they belong.
abad says

Agreed, they do not belong in the west.
The world was so much better off when Moslems stayed in their home countries in the Middle East. And no “Syrian Refugee”(TM) nonsense.
Being 52 years old, I can clearly remember that time, too.
gravenimage says
Yes–we were all so much safer when Islam was largely isolated from us.
Savvy Kafir says
Some Muslims are definitely cowards — attacking one or two people in gangs, etc. But others have no fear of death, since they’re gullible enough to believe in an afterlife, on the word of an obvious charlatan. Anyone who commits a suicide attack is not a coward. An idiot, yes. But not a coward.
gravenimage says
I take you point, Savvy Kafir–but i still think that stealth-murdering innocent people makes you a coward, even if you are not afraid to die yourself.
Bad Penguin says
Dana is a fool and should be sent to live out her life in the ME. Muslims only respect strength and power and pretending to respect this trash we kill is an insult to the free world.
somehistory says
This is always the claim. It will only get worse if he’s killed, it will only get worse if they are not allowed back into the country, it will only get worse….
How many U.S. servicemen have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq by those with whom they were working “closely,” to defeat the enemies of those with whom they were working closely? What were the reasons behind these murders?
How many innocent women and children have been murdered by their male family member and the reasons given…loss o non-existent “honor.”
How many innocent people have been blown up, run over, stabbed, shot, etc. by moslims because they were not moslims?
How many moslims have been killed by other moslims because they were of a different sect?
If U.S. personnel are in “danger”…they already were in danger.
‘o’ not only had a moslim burial for obl, he told the whole world…including murderous moslims…who were the Americans who shot obl so they could be targeted by the whole moslim world.
The idiot woman, ‘o’ worker, looks and sounds as if she is taking something she shouldn’t. The photo should be captioned, “Huh?”

Yes, I remember, in the aftermath of Ladin’s death, it was O ‘s leadership with deepstate and saboteers who released the names to the press and yes the men who planned a secret mission took Ladin out were exposed and later put on an old helicoptor and sent into a waiting sabotage…..and killed. How well we took care of our hero’s…..it was disgusting and I knew who benefited ……their leader who promoted his image at the times he needed to equal the score….in my opinion the master pleaser of Islam. Trump would be wise not to do the same he is surrounded by deep state of o and needs to see clearly.
Angemon says
“Important” how? And what else did you and justified with that excuse?…
Terry Gain says
Cognitive Dissonance. Giving the world’s foremost Muslim terrorist a proper Muslim burial, while claiming that Islam is a religion of peace.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Terry.
Westman says
To illustrate how much the US cares about unrest in Qatar, theret has been NO ambassador to Qatar since 2017. The Saudis already consider Qatar a den of terrorists
Save Europe says
In that case, it’s ‘the pot calling the kettle black.’
Both countries fund Sunni terrorism worldwide.

True, Save Europe, The Saudis–the main force behind 9/11–are not our allies either.

“The exaggerated respect shown to those who have vowed to destroy us that makes jihadis see us as weak and ripe for the taking. The only thing they respect is strength, and the only thing Obama and Dana Shell Smith projected was weakness”.
TRUE They now know Trump is nothing like Obama. Trump does not bow to ISIS. He puts the US first as every president is supposed to.
gravenimage says
Obama’s envoy to Qatar says Trump’s description of al-Baghdadi’s death “will endanger our personnel in the region”
…………………….
Isn’t Smith here admitting that so many Muslims actually love homicidal thugs like Baghdadi, and that they are completely Islamic? Wouldn’t this make a case for our not having civilian personnel in the region?
But as others have noted, we hear this all the time, in any case. Don’t defend against Jihad, or it will cause more Jihad. Muslims and useful idiots like Smith always say this.
Wellington says
Indeed, gravvenimage.
Wow, lots, I mean loads, of Western useful idiots out there still making one excuse or another for Islam.
It’s the Islam, stupid.
Wellington says
So many clueless people out there still trying one way or another to not offend the Islamic world.
Pathetic. Stupid. Retrograde. Dangerous. Often cowardly. Always wrong.
gravenimage says
The only way we can not offend pious Muslims is to all submit to Islam.
CogitoErgoSum says
True, the very fact that we do not want to live under their control offends them.
Terry Gain says
Conceding that the vile ideology is a religion no doubt shows proper respect and makes us all safer. With Islam submission is the order of the day. Heaven forbid that we tell Muslims that their idea of a religion is insane and has no place in civilized nations.
Islam. It is the ideology, stupid.
gravenimage says
Terry, acknowledging the obvious fact that Islam is a religion by definition does *not* mean that one respects Islam. Did Winston Churchill respect Islam? Does Robert Spencer? Of course not.
Westman says
Yes, Wellington.
They are also giving aid and comfort to a lethal enemy and too lazy to read Islam’s ideology and recognize that it generates terrorists. Like Rome, they party on, while believing they can ignore the encroachment of an aggressive ideology and the orgy will go on, forever. Sadly, it may be less of a matter of stupidity and more a matter of stupor.
DHazard says
Poor thing. Islamists are always angry. Back when they were called Muslims they gleefully followed in Muhammad’s bloody footprints. Every victory in battle proved Allah approved of their violence. Defeats just led to doubling down and the initiating of new plans. There is NOTHING a person can do to remove the threat posed by angry Muslims who are angry because they see the World through the eyes of a psychotic narcissist. Appease, confront, threat, appeal, promise, deny, attack, kill, save, reeducate, plead. It doesn’t matter, the Quran and Hadith still say what they say and there will always be Muslims willing to act on those words. And there are still people who deny this is even a thing. What a World.
Terry Gain says
The conquest ideology of Islam will do anything to rule the world. The ideology cannot be defeated unless it is contested. Islam is a conquest ideology. It is opposed to all religions and all basic freedoms. Islam is not a legitimate religion for those of us who are unwilling to be conquered.
Salome says
Baghdadi’s remains should be fed to the pigs and it should be filmed and published as a warning to others.

“When bin Laden was killed, we were careful to be clear that he had been given a proper Muslim burial. Not because we gave a damn about him but because it was important for our relationships in the region and safety of our military and diplomats.”
Since this woman is all in for showing proper respect for muslim sensitivities and tradition she should stay in the background and keep her mouth shut and let males do all the talking. Out of respect for islamic sensitivities and tradition and to assure that none of our personnel are put in danger she needs to show some respect and start behaving like a female in the muslim world.
She was obamas envoy to Qatar, seems like that would be disrespectful to the men of islam that dominate Qatar.
Thomas Richard says
She needs to find herself in a large field of weeds …..wearing knee pads….and a sun hat…..
Orlando says
Shouldn’t this paranoid witch be out somewhere making commercials for big pharma?! Uh, I think we need a new US ambassador to Qatar…pronto!

I bet liberals are saying that this garbage al-Bagdahdi was killed because of Obama’s brilliant efforts to fight Islamic terror.
Support Trump!
Jim Gunn says
I nominate Shell Smith to be appointed as the official envoy to ISIS.
Norger says
“Proper Muslim burial?” He’s a Muslim? But I thought that ISIS wasn’t Islamic?! I’m so confused.
scherado says
I’m confused. The Big O-Mo has an envoy to Qatar?
Giacomo Latta says
It sure didn’t take long for the apologists and scare-mongers to raise their heads for about two minutes. Hunting and killing OBL only made things worse for the West? Well, I haven’t noticed any mass murder of some 3300 people in the West since. Hunting and killing al-Baghdadi is not going to make poverty in the Middle East go away? Oh, so it’s all about poverty. The average ME citizen only makes a lousy 100 grand a year so they spend it all on rocket launchers and AK-47s in the hope that they can earn a decent million dollars a year? Some people have their head buried firmly in the sands of the Syrian desert. ISIS will fight with a vengeance instead of leisurely like before? ISIS used to have a country and now they have zilch. Over to you, apologists.
Brian Hoff says
When the Red Baron die in ww1 the allies make if clear to they solider to show proper as he was bury in full military honor. Some local people show disrespect to grave site the military commander told the mayor if it happen again the whole village will be destory and all people liveing there shot dead
Norger says
Sooo…. If we don’t show “respect” to al Bagdadhii, we should all be shot dead, or something like that? Not sure I’m really feeling you on this one Brian, er Mr. Hoff, sir.
Angemon says
The Red Baron was a soldier fighting for his nation, whose skill won him the respect of his enemies. He was not the self-appointed leader of a cult of child rapists and sadistic murderers.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Angemon.
gravenimage says
The claim that the British threatened to cold bloodedly wipe out an entire village is utter claptrap.
Westman says
I had no idea that murdering rapists, like Baghdadi, should be shown respect. How about listing the men who make up your “worthy of respect” list, Brian. Is Adolf, Pol Pot, and Stalin on it? And which one on the list would you emulate? Are you dreaming of a shot at the Jews?
Naildriver says
Excepting Trump’s colorful description it appears the follow up of patronizing Muslim devotees is repeated in that Baghdadi was scraped up; and taken to a military ship wherein we permitted an Islamic Cleric to oversee funeral rites and a dignified burial at sea. All paid for by US taxpayers.
Shameful, pathetic, harmful prpoaganda … Sheer idioicy to repeat Obama’s treason!
Should we ever regain the capacity to record history correctly this episode will be marveled at in a better world.
fixeddisdain says
Trump was absolutely right show dominance and contempt. People like Trudeau, Scheer, Obama think showing weakness will de-escalate.
No, you have to make it absolutely clear: They will not win.
