That's how leftist news paper the Washington Post described the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Meanwhile Trump described it this way;
“He died like a dog. He died like a coward. The world is now a much safer place,”
"Baghdadi died after running into the end of a tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way, as he was chased by American military dogs," Trump said. "Accompanied by three young children, Baghdadi then ignited his suicide vest, killing himself and all three children", the president said.
That was a dumb way to phrase the headline. I googled it, and it appears they are now on their third version of the headline.
"Deploying suicide attackers, roadside explosives, car bombs and Kalashnikov-toting gunmen, he increased the tempo of assaults against Iraqi forces and Shiite civilians as the U.S. military drew down its troops ahead of their December 2011 withdrawal. Prison breaks, including a military-style assault on two Baghdad-area jails in July 2013 that freed more than 500 inmates, bolstered his group's ranks."

and I don't know of a single dog that has done any of that.
The Russians say they didn't know anything about it and doubt it happened at all. You know how Trump trusts Putie more than the CIA.

With all of the talk about GITMO regarding "Illegal Detention" and "Enhanced Interigation" techniques, I was wondering what were the thoughts of those who believed that all of the Detainees should have a trial in the US. Specifically, should Bin Laden have been brought back to...

What are your thoughts on Transgender and the U.S. Military?I just cannot settle on a right or wrong here. It seems that morally both sides can be argued. Medical conditions are perfectly OK to exclude some people from some vocations. I wonder if there is a real rational basis for this exclusion....
