Excellent work by the Delta Force A-Squadron. Meticulous planning, careful cultivation of local sources, and courageous risk-taking.
It was perfectly appropriate for Trump to describe him as dying like a simpering coward.
I have no problem with the administration not notifying Congress beforehand. Given the zeal of Democrats to kneecap Trump (a real issue, which exists alongside Trump's objectionable nature), it may well have messed up the mission.
The Washington Post's decision to change its original headline, characterizing him as the chief terrorist of ISIS, to one depicting him as an "austere religious scholar" was made by someone and signed off on by someone. Who? This information must be made public and this person / these persons must be subjected to a level of ridicule that has them concerned about career implications.
Anybody in any current political or ideological camp who uses this occasion to advance a brand or protect turf needs to b e called out for making a shameful decision. This is a great moment in the history of the struggle against jihad.
ISIS didn't die with al-Baghdadi. Ridding the world of this ideology is a long-haul undertaking.
