WASHINGTON—The U.S. military targeted the head of Islamic State in a raid in northwestern Syria that U.S. officials said resulted in the death of an individual—an operation that, if successful, would remove the operational and spiritual leader of the group the U.S. has been attempting to defeat for the past several years.
Those officials said the individual targeted was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of Islamic State, but they wouldn’t confirm if he was killed in the raid. The White House announced late Saturday that President Trump would be making a major statement on a foreign policy matter Sunday morning. The White House declined to elaborate.
Turkish and Iraqi officials said on Sunday they had knowledge of the raid.
“Something very big has just happened,” Mr. Trump tweeted about 9:30 p.m. Saturday, without elaborating.
Two U.S. officials said the announcement was tied to the raid carried out by special-operations forces near Idlib in northwestern Syria, an area U.S. forces have generally stayed away from since their operations against Islamic State have been focused in the northeast.
The ground operation was meant to target Baghdadi, who is considered the ideological leader of Islamic State and responsible for its reign of terror across Iraq and Syria. Islamic State displaced tens of thousands of people and was responsible for widespread barbarism, including rapes and video-recorded beheadings.
The removal of Baghdadi from the battlefield would amount to a symbolic move, but a potent one, as President Trump reconsiders the U.S. presence in the region and the fight against Islamic State in Syria, where he this month ordered the withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Targeting operations—akin to the one that killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011—are highly risky and inherently perilous, especially if the U.S. conducted a raid in that region, where there is a smaller U.S. presence.
Islamic State didn’t immediately confirm or deny reports of its leader’s death, but some of the group’s supporters responded to the news by offering condolences and prayers on Telegram, according to Hisham al-Hashimi, an Iraqi researcher who monitors the group’s channels.
Turkey, which borders northern Syria, had information pointing to Baghdadi’s presence in the Idlib village 48 hours before the U.S. raid, according to a senior Turkish official.
The official said he couldn’t confirm or deny that intelligence was shared with the U.S. to facilitate the raid on the Islamic State leader, but said the Turkish military had advanced knowledge of the operation and described Baghdadi’s alleged death as “a very welcome development.”
An official in the Iraqi National Intelligence Service said the agency had provided the U.S. with the coordinates of Baghdadi’s location through “a complex intelligence operation using information from captured associates of Baghdadi.” The official said one lead had placed Baghdadi in northern Syria and the other had given the exact coordinates of the location that was targeted by U.S. special-operations forces overnight.
A resident in the Syrian town of Sarmada, near the location of the raid, said he began hearing the sounds of helicopters flying above starting at midnight. Given the area’s proximity to the Turkish border, it is unusual for Syrian regime planes to fly above that area.

Anyone who thinks that Gellerreport is finally done with this is mistaken.
After all, the Semigerman Trump is the saviour of the disinherited Jews.
It is simply naive to believe that Jews would
ever stop attacking others intellectually. I lea-
ve it to the inclined observera to decide whe-
ther these are “Jews” with a presence of mind.
Their statement of incomprehension. Another opinion is unwan-
ted, we are Trump fanatics here, even if Trump shows us his na-
ked ass in the moonlight, when we lie on the street and starve
to death. Don’t worry, we want to document our stupidity extra!
Reagan was our LAST President that loved and cared about our country.
Since then, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, the Bush’s, Clinton’s and Obama have sided against our country’s interests and sold us out to globalists and others. This is why they HATE Trump. He is exposing them ALL for what they are. See why the Bush’s endorsed HILDEBEAST, were close and did joint charities together (LOL)? I think Trump has done more than Reagan at this point so all the more need to remove him. We can’t let them do that.

Although “mental illness” is more commonly used, being “mentally sick” is quite acceptable, in ASE parlance. Not the sharpest machete in the shed, are you little one?

Al-Baghdadi ‘Died Like a Dog’; ‘Whimpering, Crying, Screaming All the Way’
By JOEL B. POLLAK
27 Oct 2019
Trump related Baghdadi’s final moments in an address to the nation:
He died after running into a dead-end tunnel “whimpering, and crying, and screaming all the way.
The compound had been cleared by this time, with people either surrendering, or being shot and killed. Eleven young children were moved out of the house, and are uninjured.
The only ones remaining were Baghdadi in the tunnel, and he had dragged three of his young children with him. They were led to certain death.
He reached the end of the tunnel, as our dogs chased him down.
He ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children.
His body was mutilated by the blast.
The tunnel had caved in on him, in addition.
…
The thug who tried to hard to intimidate others spent his last moments in utter fear, in total panic and dread, terrified of the American forces bearing down on him.
…
Baghdadi and the losers who worked for him — and losers they are — they had no idea what they were getting into …
He was a sick and depraved man, and now he’s gone. Baghdadi was vicious, and violent, and he died in a vicious and violent way, as a coward, running and crying.
…
A brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death, has violently been eliminated. He will never again harm another innocent man, woman, or child.
Our Special Forces are INCREDIBLE! NOT one of them was hurt or injured!!!!!!

Yabba Dabba Doo is the human scum who “obama” shilled for and covered for to the American people when he called ISIS “the J-V team.”
“obama,” what a gem.

We “The Big One” downvoters are still true belie-
vers: one Führer, one nation. Trump is the MAN!
MORON. Take your LEFTIST NAZI propaganda back over to Germany! Trump supporters do not need you and your demonic people. GOOD PEOPLE VOTED TRUMP INTO OFFICE. The rest of you who voted for him are nominal and insignificant. Without you, he would have still been voted in as President because GOD had a hand in THAT, not you, not evil, not Nazis.
You need to be on your knees in repentance FOR EVEN MENTIONING the insane, demented, and EVIL man from Germany!
TRUMP IS THE MAN, BUT HE IS A MAN FOR ALL AMERICANS.
A “forum” for boys without women like you but with a
strong father complex. Mental-physical manual work
is in demand here. How onwe knowa it from puberty.
After all, you have been able to write “Moron” (and
received an Upvote by such moron for it). This small
step into our mental independence cannot be praised
enough until one day you can stand on your own feet.
I think we know who that is…..
Let him mock President Trump all he likes! We love our President Trump.
Let me cheer him up!
Here’s another POS! Angela Merkel.
Merkel just admits, again, that multiculturalism hasn’t worked out…so what does she do PRIVATELY? IMPORTS Somalians in secret chartered flights. She tells the PUBLIC one thing and does the opposite in PRIVATE.. It works every time. On the surface everyone gets what they want… The public is appeased and pleased with the help of the media, and the global elite LAUGH at voters and get what they want. Now VIOLENT, INBRED SOMALIANS are being secretly FLOWN into Germany!
Angela Merkel says Germany has ‘utterly failed’ at building multicultural society
By Dom Calicchio | Fox News
10/23/19
Germany’s immigrants need to work harder to assimilate because the country’s attempts at building a “multikulti” society have “utterly failed,” Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
“We kidded ourselves a while,” Merkel told younger members of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party earlier this month in Potsdam, the BBC reported.
In the early 1960s, Germany’s government called for foreign workers to enter the country but perhaps didn’t really believe they would stay, Merkel said.
“We said, ‘They won’t stay, sometime they will be gone,’” she said. “But this isn’t reality.”
… But the idea of having people from different backgrounds “live side-by-side” hasn’t worked, she added – and more Germans seem to agree. About a third of the country believes Germany has been “overrun by foreigners,” a recent survey suggests, according to the BBC.
… “We should not be a country either which gives the impression to the outside world that those who don’t speak German immediately or who were not raised speaking German are not welcome here,” she said, according to the BBC.
Debate in the country has been further fueled by former central banker Thilo Sarrazin, who argues in a book that Muslim immigrants have lowered the intelligence of German society,
…
Still, Merkel made it a point in Potsdam to say she agreed with German President Christian Wulff, who argued that Islam was “part of Germany,” like Christianity and Judaism, the BBC said.

Oh how frustrated shifty shitz must be along with Piglosi!
You can’t tell them. You have Muslim U.S. hater, Rep. Omar who sits on the

Education and Labor, and Foreign Affairs committees of the House know about this!. She probably has Al-Baghdadi on speed dial or someone who knows him alert him.
Trump: Leaks from Washington Would Have Jeopardized Al Baghdadi ISIS Raid

GOP Rep. Thornberry: Trump’s ISIS Rhetoric ‘Uncomfortable to Hear’
PAM KEY
27 Oct 2019, 8:01 AM PDT
He is a ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee now threatening funding on the military… He makes me uncomfortable….
“So the United States is going to be tested in the days to come, and as you know, one of my big concerns is we’ve only funded the military for about 25 more days. The dysfunction in Washington is translating into doing real damage to our military, who we depend on and are so proud of, for things like this.”
That was a smart move. Pelois or one of them would have alerted Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of being discovered. Obama did this just before Israel was about to bomb Iran. You can not trust the swamp, DEMS and some GOP members. It’s sad….but SMART!
ISIS burns girls alive for refusing sex, sells other girls into slavery, throws suspected gay men off buildings (while the imams commit pederasty behind the scenes), and committed genocide of yazidis and christians. Criticism of such barbarism is considered “islamophobia” by the left.
Agree. And Macron threatens Hungary , poland for not selling out their countries to islamonazis
like he and his party has been doing in france https://tinyurl.com/y6vlqtwq
They have already given up. when voters are so stupid to elect these jihadi loving scums , you know they are too stupid , spineless to fight. They are typical Left/Liberals.
No, I don’t mean the people resisting in western european countries; I know they have given up. I was meaning that I would not be surprised if france and germany waged war on poland and hungery to force them to accept more “refugees” — lebensraum for muslims.
so dancing in the streets with gummy bears is cancelled today?

2. He’s been dead before.
3. Isis is like a Hydra. Cut off one head, grow 3-8 more…
But hopefully they all get killed. All members of Isis should be executed.

Democrats are deeply offended by the racism, Islamophobia, and toxic masculinity of this action and the subsequent announcement. Appropriate charges will be added to Trump’s impeachment process.

“Died like a DOG…: Trump knows how to talk to Muslims in their own language.
When I was around 10 in the early 60s’ and visiting my cousin at their summer home on the Jersey shore, she had a hoard of National Enquirers that she showed me. Gruesome. One story was about a Muslim who did horrible things to a neighbor’s dog (won’t go into those details) that still haunt me. They are barbarians.
One more thing, thank God Trump didn’t say anything to Pelosi and her ASSociates!

The dog crowd will go all woked about Trump’s remark that he died like a dog. Dog crowd wackos are the same bozos who spent months in 2012 crying about Mitt Romney putting his dog in a box on the car roof.
Predicted this re action a news story from RT News today Oct 28 “Objecting to Trump’s mannerisms over the substance of his actions has long been a thing with the mainstream media, but this time it led to some truly bizarre reactions. Just like the time when Democrats and the media sided with the notorious MS-13 gang, just because Trump called them “animals,” they now objected to Trump’s description of Baghdadi’s death because they read it as somehow offensive to dogs.”

Islamic State ‘Among the Most Depraved Organizations’ in History […] Baghdadi a ‘Sick and Depraved Man, And Now He’s Gone’ […] the ideological leader of Islamic State
Unfortunately, both ISIS and al-Baghdadi are representative of Islam as the genocidal pedophile Muhammad preached and practiced it. He is the ideological leader of Islam; while removing al-Baghdadi is a positive for his victims and the world, he will only be replaced by someone just as vile and depraved as himself, his prophet, and his allah.
Islam demands the rape, enslavement, and slaughter of all who refuse the “invitation” to convert. Until that fact is dealt with forthrightly — and forcefully — there will be no end to jihad.

It’s good to take out figureheads like Al-Baghdadi, but remember there are 1.5 billion Muslim idiots out there like him and millions of them live in our country.
I’ll only celebrate when we start loading them on boats and planes to send them back to their Islamic shitholes. Or declare war on Islam and deal with them as we did with the Nazis.
We need to get tough on Islam, like China has done. Anything less accomplishes nothing. Muslims are an extremely determined enemy so the only way to win is to neutralize their jihad against us.
ISIS’s new leader is believed to be a former officer in Saddam Hussein’s military who forged an alliance with al-Baghdadi in prison in Iraq before becoming his enforcer and chief policymaker.
Abdullah Qardash – nicknamed The Professor for his reputation as a legislator – is known as a cruel but popular figure among ISIS rank-and-file.
