JUST IN: Commander in chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Gen. Mazloum Kobani, hails 'Successful& historical operation due to a joint intelligence work with the United States of America.'

a"successful and effective operation by our forces" which he said was"yet another proof of SDF's anti-terror capability."

It was not clear whether the Kurds, who have accused Trump of abandoning to the Turkish invasion, were involved in the operation. Al-Baghdadi has led ISIS since 2010. He stood at the pulpit of the great medieval mosque in Mosul in 2014 to declare himself caliph, sovereign over all Muslims.in which a bearded man resembling al-Baghdadi appeared sitting cross-legged on the ground with an assault-style weapon propped up against a wall and praised terrorists who carried out Easter bombings of churches in Sri Lanka.Some reports have claimed that he was killed in U.S.

Morning_Joe When will he announce his investigation of the Bidens? We will never know the truth. Wait for him to show up in a couple weeks and have TRUMPY THE CLOWN blame it on fake news. LockHimUp

Morning_Joe Thank you, General Kobani! The American people understand your worth to us.

Al Baghdadi is dead, ISIS is not !!

Morning_Joe TRUMP POWER!! No spin this time Clueless Joe, TRUMP WINS...... again.

What big allies you have, grandma.

Our military didn't kill the ISIS leader, trump didn't kill the ISIS leader, Hmmm! Our military had killed a enemy leader, with then president Obamas agreement with our military men in charge. Hmm! our bone spur president said the ISIS Leader is a coward for killing himself,

MaryLDixon

Obama must feel horrible this morning.

Who is 'Q' and how did they know?

Thank you!

That's great news

Morning_Joe I call Bullshit on this display. It’s simply a distraction!! It Won’t work!

Morning_Joe Another great win for the world! Go Trump 2020 KAG

Thanks God Trump is president..Obama would've sent him a few pallets of cash.

Morning_Joe He had a suicide vest on, and he was dying from disease. Hmm, was this a made up story?

Thank God for America not Donald Trump he proud of Russia and Chyna and turkey this bonehead president is not what he seems to be working for foreign Nations to go against the American people he lies all the time 5000 lives a day

Rubbish! Trump thanked Turkey for their assistance in the operation.

Trump announcing a positive development, a raid (many planes & ships LOL) that killed ISIS leader but also finds it necessary to demean our allies in Europe & of course praise Russia, Turkey, Iraq and Syria & as usual brag, lie & whine. UGH he is such an embarrassment.

DNA he exploited ?

Liberals really are clueless.

You know the Russian was coming because Russia wants some of that oil and Russia was taking care of this damn mess. Lying Donald Trump Russia is Isis until then Tully band Russia

relay work

will see what forensics says.

He wasn't killed. He committed suicide.

Somehow Romney and the Dems will find fault in this victory for the world.

🇺🇸

Before the Trumputin Narcissism goes buck wild.... somebody hand him his 2012 tweet.... 🙄🙄🙄

Now we an get back to the impeachment inquiry that's going on this wknd, don't let him divert and change the narrative by something he created.

Not commander another terrorist

Stop congratulating Trump, it was the Navy Seals that killed him.

Trump is doing all he can to change the narrative, don’t be so easy. You should know this by now.

Jeez, they got Badhadi...again! This jingoistic 'we got'em' parading is ridiculous. Changes nothing as long as west backs Turkey and Islamist militias in Syria. USA out. Drop Turkey now.

I Pray To GOD That's Truly The Case... What Loss. WHY? Why Did This Even BEGIN?

QuinHillyer This can’t be. Syria & USA working together?

“general”. trump will take credit for the operation!!! but it was our intelligence work which trump badmouthed that did the work.

Is he going to say he pulled the trigger?

NEED URGENT HELP Hi Been through a lot of victimization from an ex who left and I'm currently faced with bills and two kids to cater for. Please wonderful and kindhearted people, come to my aid. I love my kids so much. The bills on me are much 😭 😭 Message me if you want to help

Yes Yes not the first time.. Think U.S so it's over with ISIS? Big No! here's just a little bit of what ISIS has done in just 24 hours

I know that şahin cilo is crying like a child for killing Bağdadi now PYD uselessnes terörist organization And until now some Country support them for deash..if bağdadi dead who support PYD for what

YPG Confirmed that is albaghdadi was in idlib before 7 months He was in the city of Idlib, which is under the control of Turkish forces supporting extremist opposition in Syria, including ISIS

Devil's Light Prince,al-Baghdadi, was abandoned in Syria when America left with her tail packed tight between her legs.Baghdad was lured to Cyria to get killed. You too have'but a short time'before God's Servants catch up w you!

Dem narratives crumbling one day at a time. Watch the same dems that cheered for obama killing osama be the same ones that dismiss trump for killing bagdahdi. It’s fine though, nobody cares what the discredited elites think anyways.

Wait. But according to TheDemocrats ... realDonaldTrump was growing isis by leaving syria....... however it looks more like trump is eradicating isis very ruthlessly and efficiently at below cost and ahead of schedule🤔. Maybe our former leaders were really this bad.

Maybe I'm not updated: can't understand. The SDF are headed by the Kurds. I had read US have just left Kurdistan to Turkey and got accusation of betraying their Kurd ally, while The Kurds joined forces with Syria regular army. Now they would 've praised the US about al Baghdadi?

And there is hundreds of them to take his place and come at America with all there force!

Turkish Defense Ministry’s statement is not newsworthy for NBC. “Prior to the US Operation in Idlib Province of Syria last night, information exchange and coordination between the military authorities of both countries took place.” MSB TSK

'Something very big has just happened!' President Trump tweeted at 9:23 p.m. ET last night. The president will be making a statement this morning at 9 a.m. ET, the White House has said.

Her biji General Mazlum ✌️

How did the SDF get deep inside enemy territory in Idlib?

Was this the leader of the JV Team that Obama was telling us about? It’s a good thing Trump won in 2016 or else Hillary would have just let these cowards keep right on killing innocents while she and Barry played footsie.

Had INTEL laser focused on their job, the holy war on terror plus hearts and minds could have been won on Sept 12, 2001. Even now, to win the holy war, HELP me tell AGBarr: INRI FAIR RETRIAL NOW! I will testify, guaranteed MessianicAge. Fatima100 ProphetSimeon

thats sweet for everyone

CerkesL The young terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died, but the largest terrorist, Abu Erdogan, is free

kurdishpopel_KR He was in idlib,under protection of turkey,,when world going to understand this: turkey=isis

Promises made promises kept. On ya Trump👍🏼

Another “we got him” moment?🤔. While commendable, we know these movements regrow their body parts and splinter into less organzed factions, when the head is chopped off. Let’s hope it disintegrates before it gets a chance to regenerate.

My favorite time of year trick or treat Boo! Mmm. Clean up on 7.

Baghdadi had previously been detained by the Kurds,but now Trump wants to use this news to propagate his term this year.Trump says US troops withdrew from Syria, but are now conducting a major offensive in the Idlib, where the Syrian army is located, and this is a blatant lie.

After we abandoned him and his men...

Elise_Jordan The SDF the ally we abandoned? Even after our betrayal and turning our backs on them they came through to still help us find one of our most wanted.

And we abandoned him and his men.

Elise_Jordan And Trump will make this all about him. Then he will veer off script, as usual, and start talking about how Obama never got this “bad guy” but he did. Then he’ll use his typical three adjectives describing the Americans who carried the mission out.

Awful

Trump tweeted. This makes America great co operating with ISIS in Syria

Sweden have many of them France, Germany, Denmark, EU. Russia , . save the world.

Trump said we were leaving Syria luring the snake out of his hole and boom, Baghdadi was killed. Trump is always 5 steps ahead

Keep watching the news for OperationDistraction...

“Historical” 🤔

Sorry for all the leftists, this has to be hard to take.

Good job

Oxygen supply for Trump!!🤣

TuffTiffResists

This is the second time US claimed he has been killed.

I thought he was dead already.

Footage released.

That only took 15 years. [slow clap]

Of course there was a joint intelligence work for this raid. It's obvious that Turkey gave the intelligence where to find Baghdadi in exchange for being allowed to enter Syria by Trump.

BE PATIENT AMERICA .. WAR IS NOT OVER YET ...... WE HAVE thousand like Baghdadi and Stephen Paddock BLOOD FOR BLOOD PIGS

10,9,8,7,6 how long till Trump claims he was leading Seal Team 6 on the raid and had the kill shot?

Catholic leaders approve proposal that would allow some married men in the Amazon to be ordained as priestsCatholic bishops approved a proposal allowing some married men to be ordained as priests in the Amazon region, where there is a shortage of priests. Pope Francis would have to approve the historic change. With delivery options including drone, parachute, in-store pick-up, and in-trunk, the Amazon region covers just about everywhere these days. Let’s start adding some variety to these weirdos. We don’t need more priests in Amazônia. The truth is the opposite: we want them as far as possible with their liberation theology and all the mess they already did and keep doing over there.
