CNN TV is treating this like a Osama Bin Laden raid. I'm skeptical.

His wife, an Iraqi named Umm Sayyaf, was captured and taken to Iraq for interrogation, the sources said.

All the U.S. troops involved returned safely. About a dozen ISIS fighters were killed in the firefight at a residential building.

Does anyone recall congress’ declaration of war prior to sending combat troops into Syria? Or Libya?

GOOD thing President Obeyme isn’t a republican, huh?

Yes, CNN is all about the Obama worship....covering Team Valerie’s faux war on terror as if it truly existed.

It is obvious these SOF weren’t Navy SEALS or it would have been already been announced by one of them, followed by a trip to Hollywood for a new movie. The other boys, “Quiet Professionals” are just that. That is all I will say about that.

They still refer to ISIL as a terrorist organization not as Islamic terrorism, yet Islamic is in the name. How stupid do they think we are? Sarc

Either Obama was upset that the terrorist had more integrity and leadership ability than him, or he didn’t like that the Islamic leader was telling the truth about the murderous religion.

“U.S. personnel based out of Iraq conducted an operation in al-Amr in eastern Syria to capture an [ISIS] senior leader known as Abu Sayyaf and his wife Umm Sayyaf,” according to a statement from the White House. “During the course of the operation, Abu Sayyaf was killed when he engaged U.S. forces.”

Carter said he had ordered the raid at the direction of President Barack Obama. All the U.S. troops involved returned safely.

Yep, old "Blood & Guts" Barack directing operations.

Syrian state media earlier reported that Syrian government forces killed at least 40 IS fighters, including a senior commander in charge of oil fields, in an attack Saturday on the country's largest oil field — held by IS.

It was not immediately clear why both Syria and the U.S. would claim a similar operation in the Omar oil field. The U.S. has said it is not cooperating with President Bashar Assad's government in the battle against the Islamic State group. But it has always said it gives the Syrian government a heads up on operations within its borders.

Obama will of course take credit. That aside, God bless and protect the brave Special Ops forces who put their lives on the line, and particularly the ones who bagged this scumbag Abu Sayyaf. I hope nobody outs them.

Ping......

Maybe Ash Carter, intelligence and the military are exerting pressure on the child in chief to kill his buddies.

Imprisoned Americans in Iran deserve a try. But no, the grand legacy deal to award Iran nukes and a manufacturing bonus of $50 bil would be in jeopardy. Besides, we can’t trust ValJar not to alert her ayatollahs to capture or kill the American team.

I thought Obama as CinC was the most humane potus possible. He just used drones sending missiles for his daily ‘kill list’.

That’s what they told me.

“They” said he was dead. They wanted to capture him, but he was killed.

Why don’t I accept this? If he had been captured, then we could see him with our own eyes. But— dead— anyone could be used in pictures.
