Trump said he was going to do this and he did.

One of the things Trump said he was going to do as CinC is not announce his plans and he didn't in this case.

A couple of days ago we just removed an ISIS big shot. He's dead and we don't have to worry much about him anymore. One Mr. Baghdadi is now standing in heaven in sad disappointment.

The promised 72 virgins are not there for him because US Servicemen have gotten there first. He's probably going to be met by 72 worn out nasty old whores. I heard at the funeral of one GI his angry wife wanted payback and told her husband, "When you get there cheat on me!"

So much for that.

Back when Trump was running he said he wasn't going to announce military action ahead of time and this is one case of a fulfilled campaign promise. He quietly sent our service people to take care of business. Apparently they did with remarkable success. I heard we didn't lose a man. I read two slightly wounded and one K-9 injured. The two wounded are reported to be back on duty.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Nancy and company are all pissed off because he didn't tell them ahead of time. He just went and had it done. This is fine by me because there are too many congresscritters would have leaked it beforehand just to make the mission fail just to see Trump embarrassed.

There are too damned many people in Congress that hate Trump so bad that they don't give a damn how many US Service people come home in a box if it embarrasses the President.

Of course, none of these people have sons or daughters in uniform. Actually this holds true for the bulk of the country. This ain't WW2 when we had 12 million people in uniform.

I've said this before, I'll say it again. When the kid down the street gets killed overseas it's a shame and you bring over a casserole on your way to the mall. When it's your kid it is a horrible tragedy the family never recovers from.

Every so often I run into a man that is younger than I am that lost his son in Afghanistan.  He's aged horribly and now looks older than I am. It's a terrible thing to see.

I sometimes wonder if the reason his son got killed is because then president Obama announced our plans.

I have no problem whatsoever with Trump withholding future plans from Congress, especially the House because it saves lives and accomplishes the mission.

What I WOULD like to see is some of these Congressional leakers caught, tried for high treason, convicted and executed. Maybe then it would make a few things change.

If you don't like it then take a long hard look at your children. How would YOU like to see one of them come home in a box because some dime store congress critter tipped off the enemy to embarrass the president? It puts the shoe on a different foot, doesn't it? Now it's not the kid down the street. Oh, well. You don't have to cook dinner tonight. One of the neighbors will be by with a casserole on their way to the mall.



Below is a link to Trump's victory speech. It's not in Youtube and I didn't know how to post it because of that. I think it's worth watching.
