NO PRISONERS

The United States took two prisoners during the raid on the compound of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, officials said on Oct. 28.
The Oct. 26 raid left al-Baghdadi and several top ISIS members dead, as well as several children who were killed when al-Baghdadi detonated a blast in a dead-end tunnel, President Donald Trump said over the weekend.
In an update during a briefing at the Pentagon on Oct. 28, military leaders said two men were taken prisoner.
“There were two adult males taken off the objective, alive,” Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during the briefing in Washington. “They’re in our custody and they’re in a secure facility.”
He declined to say what the men’s relationship with the ISIS leader was. The raid took place in Syria’s Idlib province, just miles from the border with Turkey.
Milley said al-Baghdadi was hiding in a tunnel and detonated a suicide vest as U.S. forces closed in. Visual evidence and DNA testing confirmed his identity.
“The disposal of his remains has been done, is complete, and was handled appropriately,” he said.
Trump said on Oct. 27 that al-Baghdadi was “whimpering and crying” just before he detonated the blast. Milley said he didn’t know who Trump had gotten that information from, but said the president had spoken “directly to the unit members.”

It was a real unit. Delta. Not the liars.
Cagney was also great in comedy. There was a film (1-2-3???)that took place in Berlin and made a terrific spoof of Communism. That too would not be possible today.
NO PRISONERS
Army only. I didn’t know that....thanks.
That was my first thought.
What are You Saying?
Yeh, can you say rendition?
I think we get a couple of komodo dragons and turn them loose.
I LIKE THAT PLAN !!! I’d put out $$$ to have it on Pay Per View !!!
Komodo Party PING !!!
There may be a good outcome to revealing that there are the 2 prisoners. There have to be many sweating about what those prisoners will give up about others.
Fellow austere religious scholars.
...then immediately open the cage for them to find the pool has sharks in it.
To introduce a new euphamism killing is now austerity enhancement.
I can guarantee the MSM won’t follow that timeline factoid.
The exits were destroyed but that will remain classified.
I couldn’t recall the name of the movie, but I saw it years ago and it made an impression.
Cagney was excellent.
I’m saying the Osama raid was a bunch of propaganda.
I’m also saying that the seals I met and worked with were useless. First, things got hairy, early ops after 9/11 and they were over watch and left us then to save their own skin. The others that were attached to us couldn’t even keep up with us humping the mountains. Useless. The Delta boys I worked with were all top shelf.
The Osama raid was all a lie.
What body? A suicide vest does a lot of damage, I doubt the Delta Forces spent time vacuuming up the bits and pieces.
I think that most of the suicide vest bombers kinda implode the Torso and the Arms, Legs and Head go up and out. Having never Witnessed one I’m just speculating.
I doubt that Delta Team took much time cleaning up whimpering terrorscum boy’s peices/parts. The bodies of him and 3 children after Boom 💥 plus the Cave debris falling on top of them was probably close enough to burial and would be a waste of time to do much more besides maybe setting a few Charges to finish sealing off that end of the dead end (no Pun intened) cave.
