Iraq and ISIS Discussion

[AWP]

Still awaiting DNA confirmation, but it looks like this time, it's for real.



Trump approves Special Ops raid targeting ISIS leader Baghdadi and military says he's dead

Wack a mole or not, hopefully he's toast.

Had to have been Green, I don't see any new movie deals announced on IMDB...

My first thought this morning: is @Teufel TDY again????

 

[Gunz]

CIA apparently.

And you guys made fun of that job listing.

 

[Chopstick]

Watching the POTUS live right now. Thanking not only our troops but Syria, Turkey, Russia, Iraq and the Kurds among others.

 

[Brill]

It’s unfortunate that this will not be a unifying event for our country.

 

[Chopstick]

Totally agree with you, @lindy

Highly doubt the CIA had a bunch of dudes in crye roping out of 60s... anyone who knows how the battle fields are broken up knows who did this (and who was likely there helping out).

Zawahiri be like “shhh, you guys hear something?”

This seems to confirm the Unit executing the raid...

The Washington Examiner is reliably informed that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is confirmed to be killed by an operation of the A-Squadron of the Army's Delta Force.

Rot in hell, motherfucker

 

[AWP]

And people think @Salt USMC and @lindy can't see eye-to-eye on things...

 

[Grunt]

After reading the article, my first thought was simply that I am glad for the good news and that it is the start of a great day!

As to who did it, I can truly care less...I'm just glad he has been eradicated from the Earth....

Oh we know...

 

[Hillclimb]

This is the 4th time we've killed him right? The first 3 in an airstrike?

 

[Kraut783]

yeah, hoping this wasn't another look alike who blew himself up.

 

[Salt USMC]

If they were able to get a positive DNA match at the scene then it’s almost certainly the guy.
Lets not forget that unlike UBL, Baghdadi was in US custody for a time so they probably had his biometrics on file.

I posted that based on what my wife told me when I woke up: "Hey, the CIA got Bagdadi in a drone strike." I went right to the computer to get in a cross-thread ref.

Brother (not faulting you for the correction) but it was my job for the better part of two decades, from the start of the Gulf War, through OIF and OEF, to hang around SOCOM and CENTCOM, writing about doctrinal missions and responsibilities of componants, sub-comands, compartmented elements, TTP, gear, weapons, history, aircraft, technology, comm, the larger integrated battle space, all that good shit...so I might look dumb and post dumb, I have at least a faint idea of what you hard chargers are doing out there...and sort of where you're doing it.

Don’t you have maple syrup to chug and closet racist beta cuck Prime Minsters to elect?
