Doodley (5,250 posts)https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212627429Sorry, but the raid was a disaster.For a start, Trump has already argued that US forces shouldn't be in Syria and has ordered them to leave, so according to Trump, this raid should have never happened.Second, the raid was delayed for a month because of the withdrawal order of US forces, triggering the Turkish invasion. And that withdrawal was to create a diversion from the impeachment investigation. Strategy and timing, when lives are at stake, shouldn't be based on the whims of a president.Third, three children and two women died in this attack.I don't see anything to gloat about here.
Star Member ProudMNDemocrat (5,392 posts) 3. To Trump, women and children are TERRORISTS....Trump can try to use this to distractf, but President Obama was not under an impeachment inquiry.Killing of OBL was a big deal. There will be people in ISIS to come up. ISIS has not been defeated. The U.S. policy, or LACK of one in Syria, will only strengthen ISIS. If Trump thinks Putin, Erdogan, and Assad are going to go to war against ISIS who have escaped, he has made a huge mistake. Things just got worse. Al-Qaeda is not dead. They are biding their time. You cannot defeat terrorism because it is an ideology that has no specific territory or country.The invasion and occupation of Iraq was the beginning of what we have been seeing , so blame Bush for this blunder.

Lots of military plans are conducted under very tight secrecy. If the President came out and announced them beforehand, that's akin to the Patriots just giving their opposition their entire game plan.Idiots.
Yes, the raid was indeed a disaster:Will this be the WashPost headline: Al Baghdadi Dead: Trump-Haters Hardest Hit
WaPo’s Description Of Baghdadi: ‘Austere Religious Scholar’
The Dems and their MSM shills just cannot help giving Trump campaign rally and ad material.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi could not be reached for comment.

Al Baghdadi and his would-be successor are dead ... could we have more "disasters" like that?

Absolutely!! That way we could let the dog make the kill.
Uh Oh! How long before the socialists realize that a dog is a weapon of war. We are already forced to register our dogs now it is just a matter of going door to door.
My dog would love it if one of them showed up at my door.
