What was that you media folks were saying about how Trump had enabled a resurgence of ISIS in Syria?
“Trump: Terrorist Leader Died ‘Crying, Whimpering And Screaming,’” Associated Press, October 27, 2019:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The shadowy leader of the Islamic State group who presided over its global jihad and became arguably the world’s most wanted man, is dead after being targeted by a U.S. military raid in Syria, President Donald Trump said Sunday.
“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead,” Trump announced at the White House, saying the U.S. had “brought the world’s number one terrorist leader to justice.”
As U.S. forces bore down on him, Trump said al-Baghdadi fled into a “dead-end” tunnel with three of his children and detonated a suicide vest. “He was a sick and depraved man, and now he’s gone,” Trump said. “He died like a dog, he died like a coward.”
A U.S. official told The Associated Press late Saturday that al-Baghdadi was targeted in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province. No U.S. forces were killed or injured in the raid, Trump said. He added that al-Baghdadi’s identity was positively confirmed by a DNA test conducted onsite.
Trump on late Saturday had teased a major announcement, tweeting that “Something very big has just happened!” By the morning, he was thanking Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iraq, as well as Kurdish fighters in Syria for their support.
The killing of al-Baghdadi marks a significant foreign policy success for Trump, coming at one of the lowest points in his presidency as he is mired in impeachment proceedings and facing widespread Republican condemnation for his Syria policy….

Jap says
Unfortunately, this clip could well be from anyone of a thousand places in the middle east.
The signs on the ground show more of the signs of an air attack rather than the surgical precision of a ground forces assault.
Kendra says
Jap, that’s because some of the victims blew themselves up to avoid capture or to kill our guys. Many were wearing suicide vests.
Jule Bacal says
I do believe the guy cried, but not necessarily because he was a ‘coward’. He had 3 Children with him, crying and scared & at a dead end. I can imagine him crying saying he is sorry but they will all be with Allah soon. He had to kill his own children. Just picture it.
gravenimage says
I doubt al Bagdadi much cared about his children.
Remember Osama bin Laden, who tried to use one of his wives–a child bride–as a human shield.
Don McKellar says
I really hope that dog who chased the coward down the tunnel recovers from his injuries and President Trump can pin a medal on it! Maybe a few dog kisses on Trump — just to drive the moslems completely insane.
Salome says
Perhaps the brave critter could be fed the remains of the Al Baghdadi family, on film, of course.
gravenimage says
I hope this dog recovers!
Infidel says
Yeah. But I also mourn the robot that was set after ABaB and which apparently got destroyed in the blast

The dog is OK!

No need. Anyone who Believes and follows the Qur’an makes theirself insane and most of Western court judges agree. They are just mentally ill….man made.(most mental illness is not something people are just born with but created)
mortimer says
A caliphate cannot be re-established in the modern world. Even the Libtards and Marxists realize that a caliphate is not their friend. No Muslim country wants a caliphate near them. A strong caliphate would attack Muslim countries and execute large numbers of Muslims who didn’t cooperate enthusiastically.
These two-faced globalists they play a game with Muslims, while exploiting them as a wedge issue to squeak through elections and achieve political power.
Over 60% of Muslims live in cognitive dissonance. They SAY they want a caliphate, but when one actually comes along, they do not join it in large numbers. Probably, less than one-percent of Muslims world-wide joined the caliphate of ISIS and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Muslims are hypocrites about what they believe, because they do not practice it even when handed the chance.
Muslims are fleeing from Islamic countries for the relative freedom offered by the West. They are double-minded and hypocritical … providing mere lip service to Islam, but disbelieving and evading most of what Islam requires them to do … jihad for instance. Jihad is the most important pillar of Islam and the one Muslims do not practice.
The great weakness of Islam today is the monumental cognitive dissonance among Muslims.
mgoldberg says
Mortimer, I would tend to disagree with you about your statement: ‘Even the Libtards and Marxists realize the caliphate is not their friend…” The problem is that as utopians with fatalistist goals themselves, they cannot separate themselves from their fellow muslim utopians, as they, the muslim Jihadists see themselves as opprtessed and deserving of rule and authority. The Libtards and Marxists likewise drink the same utopian kool-aid, and the borders to their thinking are drawn at oppressors and oppressed, so…. they only see the
caliphate as something, somewhere in the distant minds of capitalists, zionists, who are all ‘oppressors’ so they tend to ignore all the signs in themselves. Pretty much anything that drains ‘capitalists’ nations from solving their problems realistically, is imperfect for them and they abhor real solutions and real analyses as ‘oppressive’. I don’t think they see the caliphate…. they only see evil capitalism. JMO.
gravenimage says
Unfortunately, many Muslims flooding into the West are invading, not trying to escape Islam.
Paul J says
You beat me to the punch , they are not fleeing a caliphate, they are trying to spread it. Old Mort seems to think they can be “de-radicalized” and thus give up 14 centuries of ambition. For someone who knows so much about islam he doesn’t seem to comprehend that intel. As I have said on numerous occasions.
gravenimage says
Good post.
Avenger says
That’s some happy horse shit thinking Mortimer. You are truly clueless.
somehistory says
The details are given this time around, unlike all of the other reports of his “death.”
How demonic that he took three of his little children into death with him.
Don McKellar says
I believe that moslems have the right to murder their own children. So he likely believed that Allah would smile on him in the Islamic porno paradise.
gravenimage says
Yes, very sad. Muslims care nothing about children, not even their own.
mortimer says
The KING OF ISLAM is DEAD … slain by himself. He died like HITLER by suicide.
Motto of Islam: We love death.
(However, suicide is a sin in Islam, so the late caliph will be going straight to Islamic hell.)
Skippy says
That’s why he took his kids with him – so it wouldn’t be a suicide. “You’ve been good kids but daddy needs his virgins”. The narcissism of islam.
CogitoErgoSum says
He is probably thanking Muhammad right now for that which caused his death and the deaths of so many others … the poison of Islam.
Greyhound Fancier says
Maybe he met Jesus and now knows the score.
Salome says
But he did injure a dog, so perhaps it will be accepted that his intention was to bring down a few infidels in the process.
mortimer says
CALIPH ABU BAKR AL-BAGHDADI … an example of NORMATIVE ISLAM
Caliph Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, who was the ISIS chief and the caliph of the Islamic State, was apparently the first Islamic Studies PhD from a Muslim background who had no idea about Islam.
Al-Baghdadi, who obtained BA, MA and PhD degrees in Islamic studies from the Islamic University in Baghdad, was condemned as a person who knew nothing about Islam, and as the head of an organization that has nothing to do with Islam.
The professors from the Islamic University of Baghdad, however, do not agree. They taught the caliph and believe his credentials and doctrines are sound.
“If a person who has a PhD in Islamic studies and does nothing but study the Islamic scriptures knows nothing about Islam, then who does?” questioned al-Baghdadi’s main teacher from the Islamic University, preferring to remain anonymous since the fatwa against ISIS and its chief puts his reputation into jeopardy.
“The wine-sipping Muslims, those hedonistic adulterers will tell the world what true Islam is? Obama and Cameron know more about Islam than the faculty of Islamic studies at the Islamic University in Baghdad?” the professor bellowed with rage, while talking to a journalist.
Another professor, who had taught al-Baghdadi for his BA, said off the record that the ISIS caliph was an ardent student.
“He had this obsession with Islamic studies. I used to tell him to go out and have some fun sometimes. But his idea of fun wasn’t too human friendly,” the professor said. “In any case he was a top student. One of the best I’ve ever had. Had the entire syllabus on his finger tips – to be honest, he knew more about Islamic studies than most of the professors.”
“While you can question whether they are humans or not, there is no doubt that ISIS, including Abu Bakr (al Baghdadi), are indeed bona fide Muslims,” concluded the ISIS caliph’s PhD professor.
mortimer says
AL-BAGHDADI’S DOCTRINE WAS ENDORSED BY LEADING SAUDI CLERIC as A TRUE PRODUCT OF SALAFISM
Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani, a former imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, said that the Islamic State (IS) group follows the same brand of Islam as officially espoused by Saudi Arabia.
“We follow the same thought [as IS] but apply it in a refined way,” he said. “They draw their ideas from what is written in our own books, from our own principles.”
The cleric said that “we do not criticise the thought on which it (IS) is based”.
In his MBC interview, which was broadcast on 22 January, Kalbani said IS and Salafists in Saudi Arabia shared the same opinion on apostasy, which is that those who leave Islam should be executed.
Kalbani also spoke about the killing of journalists by IS, including Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff, which drew global condemnation in September 2014.
He said “their blood was shed according to Salafist fatwas (religious edicts) not outside the Salafist framework.”
Over the years, Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani’s has said that the Islamic State is a “true product of Salafism”, that Shi’ites are “apostates” and he rejoiced that Saudi Arabia “shelters [him] from hearing church bells ringing.”
Civilized Infidel says
Burn in hell you satanic freak. Good riddance.

Of course his wicked soul will have to be Judged first..
al-baghdadi: Oh allah!Let me in to your carnal paradise and reward me for all my evil.Have I not been a devout faithful muslim all my life and…what the?….a JEW?
I..I…I’m gonna be Judged by …a Jew?No,no,no no!This isn’t happening!
Why allah “the BEST of DECEIVERS” {k3:54},Why?
How come I was deceived and I didn’t see THIS coming?

Diganta Bhattacharya says
Why would he whimper, I wonder. He’d get to fuck 72 sluts till there’s no tomorrow anyway in heaven…did they shoot his dick off by any chance? That’s another story…
Cicero says
What disgraceful language from Diganta whilst referring to the now deceased IS Caliph,!
He can express his withering scorn in more civilised language and be as eloquent or even more.
I must say that I have noticed quite a few Indians who speak English deploy “f…k” and “ s…t” frequently in their conversations smirking, smiling or grinning as though they were proud in showing off their proficiency in His Master’s language.
Go back to your English dictionary Diganta before putting finger to keypad
gravenimage says
Yes, his language is a rather crude–but surely that is not the biggest issue on Jihad Watch?
Diganta Bhattacharya says
Precisely, gravenimage .
And more importantly, why on earth would I use dignified language to refer to the death of a fuckin’ asshole?
eduardo odraude says
Actually, I’ve heard plenty of non-Indians cursing like sailors, but I haven’t known many Indians to do so.
Diganta Bhattacharya says
Why Cicero, are you by any chance offended by this non-ciceronian insult to the great caliph? Or are you one who’s deluded about the nature of language that is primarily used to convey one’s emotions?
gravenimage says
Cicero is in fact a staunch Anti-Jihadist–he is not defending the “Caliph” here.
Angemon says
Good.
Terry Gain says
President Trump is a master showman, however Reggie and I took exception to him saying that al-Baghdadi died like a dog. A skunk, a rat, a weasel okay. But a dog? Hell No.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, I hope that none of the dogs chasing him was injured by his suicide blast.
Michael Copeland says
One was, but it is being looked after.
gravenimage says
The dog is much braver than he was.
Infidel says
Yeah, I didn’t like that comment either. I’m neither a dog lover nor a dog owner, but I still don’t think that dogs deserve to be insulted by being equated w/ a Mohammedan
Wellington says
Let his remains (what’s left of them) be buried with a huge slab of bacon. All Islamic terrorists should be apprised that if killed and their corpse is recovered they will be buried with pork at an undisclosed location. .
somehistory says
Pigs feet burial. No waste of the bacon that way.
My father used to eat pickled pigs feet, but there was always a lot of pig material left over.
Wellington says
“…there was always a lot of pig material left over.”
In Amish country they make that into scrapple, which is delicious when thinly sliced, fried and then covered with maple syrup. I grew up on it and it was only in my late teens that I discovered that most everyone didn’t eat this. Shocked I was, as well as also finding out that fried pig stomach, another Amish delicacy, was also not eaten by most everyone. Well, I’m still eating both. Great food.
somehistory says
My parents and older brothers ate a lot of tripe. I wasn’t crazy about the taste. I was made to eat some of the pigs feet, but the vinegar was so strong, I could only eat a little. And I didn’t care for the feet there on the plate.
We raised hogs and other animals and my father killed them for our food. The idea of eating the feet after seeing them stomping around in the dirty pen was just too unpleasant for me. Watching my mother clean the intestines for sausage skins…that was hard too, but I had some time to forget between the prep and the eating. The feet…how can anyone forget what a pig’s foot looks like in the slop of the pen? The only difference on the plate was the lack of dirt. I have not eaten any since my father died many years ago.
Rick Spencer says
Probably another BS story, just like the Abbottabad raid account, when ‘Bin Laden’ was eliminated! Until proper images are released (there should be footage from the team’s body/helmet cams), Trump’s arrogant utterances will remain dubious. We, the people, are conned daily!
CogitoErgoSum says
…just like the Russia collusion story.
Wellington says
No, this time I think it is the real deal. I admit I could be wrong but I feel “good” about this.
gravenimage says
It looks as though Rick here does not want to hear that Jihad leaders are being taken out.
peter says
I think he was rooting for both Al Bagdadi and Obama!
No Muzzies Here says
This is good, but the ideology that inspired the Islamic State still lives on.
Walter Sieruk says
Of course al –Baghdadi died screaming, for he must have had the feeling and knowledge to his horror that his soul was traveling on its way straight to hell, with all its fire and awful and extreme pain.
Bella says
Didn’t Bag… already announce his successor? Doubt this will make too much difference for those isis killers.
eduardo odraude says
Perhaps not. But then again, he had a Ph.D. in Islamic studies, so that means a relatively rare capacity to provide certain kinds of leadership to jihadis.
Yohanan says
Even though the president okayed the operation, signed the decision, he should not take too much credit for military victories. Trump should celebrate and praise the military and not forget allies who had part (this time reportedly Kurdish intelligence). In a democracy the army is a non-partisan state factor; the voices of the agents and soldiers who make personal sacrifices are restricted. A wise leader takes responsibility for military setbacks as well as successes. Chest thumping does not necessarily make strength and power.
Michael Copeland says
He publicly gives much credit to the states and parties that co-operated, and full credit to the military.
gravenimage says
+1
Yohanan says
Great that the ruthless terrorist warlord was finally killed. But question of how much personal aggrandizement a leader of a democracy makes of headline. (Also Israel’s outgoing prime minister B. Netanyahu uses successful military operations for personal political campaigning.) Points of language and accuracy…

Trump: Islamic State caliph died “crying, whimpering and screaming”
………………..
This does not surprise–for those supposedly so eager to get to their rape victims in paradise, most Muslims are utter cowards.
commonsense says
We should always call out the hypocrisy of these Muslims, who hide in caves and tunnels while declaring that they love death more than we disbelievers love life, and who teach their three year olds the virtues and rewards of martyrdom, yet cower and plead for their lives when their hiding places are discovered and they find themselves staring at the barrels of automatic rifles pointed directly at them. Our mocking response to their declared wish for martyrdom should be that we are merely granting them what they have clamored for – death while fighting in Allah’s cause,enabling them to wed and copulate with the houris Allah has promised them, and be served by the celestial boys with pearl-like eyes. Now die and rejoice, you bastards!
P. Douglas says

I hope the dog recovers – it would have been better if Trump had said he died like a rat, not a dog. Dogs are loyal generous and affectionate creatures.
Thank you for putting the video of Trump’s speech on the site. Naturally the BBC showed very little of what he had to say. Their only interest is in trying t show Trump in the worst possible light.
We receive almost no news about Europe where anti Government demos are raging – the BBC instead concentrates on ridiculing Trump or showing us scenes from far east disasters.
gravenimage says
The dog is recovering just fine, Anne.
Lorensacho says
Trump needs to be a tough guy which explains why he sucks up to dictators and talks tough.
Wellington says
Watch what Trump does and not what he says, for instance moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, pulling out of the worst deal (which should have been a treaty submitted to the Senate) made by an American President, i.e., Obama’s putrid Iranian nuclear deal, appointing some 150 conservative judges, pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord which is about a transference of money from rich to poor nations and based on zero scientific evidence (computer model projections and correlation studies, which is all man-made climate enthusiasts have, do not constitute scientific evidence and each has a notorious track record for accuracy) and getting rid of a lot of Obama’s restrictive executive orders which impeded economic prosperity.
