Poor little Dem’s biting at Trumps tail, but then he turns and shows his teeth. I wonder who will wind up being the chum in the water.

An angel replies “You were told there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you!”

Brilliant

He doesn’t want to get busted like Biden for Ukraine.

Russia is what Russia has been since Dimitri Donskoi threw off the Mongol yoke - a people that has a hankering for universal empire under Russian tutelage. They’re not unique in this aspiration - the Chinese have their own ambitions, and the rest of Europe shared that goal until the battlefields of WWI and WWII somehow excised their collective gonads. So what remains today of the contenders that have both potential and ambition are China and Russia. Plenty of Muslim jihadists like Erdogan and his Islamist rivals have their own dreams, but lack the means.

Probably not much to see. Just a quick flash. A bit of smoke. And bits and pieces of muzzie on the walls. Now a beheading, well....

[redshawk]

You know dumbass Delecto has changed his name by now. He’ll go with Rico Suave’ now :-D

[redshawk]

“On the other hand, I have to wonder if the well-publicized decision to pull out of Syria was a disinformation campaign to put Baghdadi at ease and make it easier to pull off this raid.”
........
That was my first take too. President Trump baited the trap with the pull out notice.

[Revolutionary]

This raid is the reason the IG report was delayed. The media will try to knock the glow off the raid quickly and that will be followed by the release of the report.

You know dumbass Delecto has changed his name by now. He’ll go with Rico Suave’ now :-D

In light of his history at presidential politics, the most appropriate and accurate user name for Romney is PIERRE FLACCIDO.

Pierre Delecto trying to redeem his sorry reputation.....

Sorry Pierre, too little too late. Nobody cares about what you think.

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, criticized Trump not notifying U.S. Congressional leadership prior to the raid.

"They murdered him. He had his hands up and was surrendering! The Americans shot him in such a way that his suicide vest exploded, killing his three children! They were all on their way to Sunday school. He was just turning his life around and planning to go to college! Trump is a barbarian!! Oh, woe!"

[catnipman]

“in what he called a major blow to the jihadist group.”

rooters can’t bear to just say “in a major blow to the jihadist group” ...

[pfony1]

I like your analysis!

[Pontiac]

Thanks.

In the light of the timing of the announcement of pull out of our remaining troops and now the raid and killing of ISIS leaders it seems a likely tactic.

[daniel1212]

And guess whose big picture is on the “World reacts” Reuters page?

[catnipman]

“Russia is being Russia as always. Our etermal enemies.”

except for years there has been consistent behind-the-scenes cooperation between Russia and the Western allies in trading intelligence and other cooperation in stamping out radical Muslim terrorism, because radical Muslim terrorism is a bigger threat to Russia than it is to the U.S. due to proximity ... Trump himself said today that Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iraq all cooperated to allow safe conduct of the U.S. airborne forces to and from their destination to grab or kill al-Baghdadi ...

[Pirate Ragnar]

...and in Washington, the President was subjected to boos and chants of lock him up at the World Series.

[Pontiac]

Oh, I don’t know.

Nancy Impeachment Pelosi, maybe?

[Secret Agent Man]

Can’t trust em not to blab. wouldn’t tell the demtards or our uniparty repbus anything either.
