Newsweek: "High confidence" that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of ISIS, has been killed in a special operations raid
- Thread starter poklane
- Start date
obama did that to avoid needless riots and deaths and most of all - successfully- martyrdom- that was probably baked into the plan from the Bush era- although as business partners of the Bush family the bin ladens probably got a card too- and to appease Saudi billionaires who totally weren't sponsoring his retirement in a Pakistani military compound having funded him for two decades and needed their unemployed youth to stay extremely obedient.
a classic.
this *still* has a weirdly low amount of likes/retweets even after gaining more than a thousand likes in the past hour and a half
That was so creepy i remember there being a lot of talk about that tweet like...how tf did he know?
Holy shit CNN is insufferable.
Why are they making this out to be some huge US victory. It really is meaningless. Someone will replace him tomorrow.

It isn't meaningless. He established the caliphate, and also had some interaction with the abducted Kayla Mueller.
If they did get him, fantastic news and not worth snarking about. A genuinely evil dude.
Are there really "Osama is still alive" conspiracies? What on earth
User banned (2 weeks): conspiracy theories
where did you get that from what I said...
Im actually saying the opposite. hes been dead a decade or so before the raid on his facility
What should they do, hold his decapitated head up during a press briefing?
we have days of footage of us bombing and killing innocent foreign civilians so why cant we be shown some visual proof that the most wanted guy on earth is dead?
errrr
not to mention his amazing ability to revamp his appearance and body language in all footage of him post december 2001. the guy was really the master of deception and disguises..no wonder it took us so long to off him
Well this was a raid presumably like the Bin Laden one not a drone capturing a black and white explosion of a truck. They probably have reasons for not releasing explicit raid footage.
Maybe they do have photos that are just unreleased. What should they have done with the body? And why would it need to be disposed of after the death was announced, particularly if the president ordered it disposed of?
This is very different from Sudam Hussien or Osama Bin Laden. I'm no expert, but my understanding is he's of some religious significance to ISIS and their main goal is specifically to put that exact dude in charge. I'm not sure they'd all just give up, but it has to be a big blow to them, because he's not as easily replaced as a normal organization leader might be.
literally anything other than what was done and shooting him into space or something. personally, i think they shouldve showed it off jesse james (and Gaddafi) style...but im no expert.
did those exist in 2011? if they were, they most certainly werent on the level that we have today and our current deepfakes can still use some work tbh
I'm talking about the OP situation since the Bin Laden conspiracy you're talking about seems to be more about him dying a decade prior to the supposed date not that he wasn't dead. Unless the same 'he died ages ago' scenario is being used here 🤔
oh idek about the guy in the OP but it looks to me that he has the same amount of lives as my kitten. Im not sure theres a conspiracy here but its too soon to tell
And this, my good people, is how you get out of going to an ever so frightening baseball game...when your name is Donald Trump.
Scared little Donald Trump.
Now we just have to wait for the facts to slowly leak out of the porous walls of the WH.

"I'm in multiple Jihad WhatsApp and telegram channels" is not something I thought I'd see a journalist say this Sunday morning.
Al-Qaeda was way fading before Osama got offed though IIRC
They've also migrated to Somalia and Yemen so I wouldn't write them off.
Hey man jet fuel can't melt steel beams!!!!!!
Wake up sheeple!
Internet truthers are the worst.
they've put some guy named Jeff in charge for now. But it's not quite the same. No one knows what to feel.
Stop congratulating someone for something someone else personally did, unless it is me. I like praise.
Seriously?
