Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Joins Osama (DOA)

Published by Papa Giorgio

Between 50 and 70 members of the US Army Delta Force and Rangers flew in on six helicopters and surrounded al-Baghdadi during the overnight raid in Syria’s Idlib province, an official source told Fox News.  

The JAMES FOLEY FOUNDATION released the following statement on Twitter about Bagdadi’s death: “I am grateful to our President and brave troops for finding ISIS leader Al-Bagdadi. I hope this will hinder the resurgence of terror groups and pray that captured ISIS fighters will be brought to trial and held accountable.”

The DAILY MAIL has the story that my wife pointed out was similar to the THREE AMIGOS (following headline).

‘He died like a dog’ Donald Trump addresses the nation and confirms that ‘coward’ ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed by U.S. Special Forces and died ‘whimpering and crying and screaming’ after being cornered inside his Syrian lair and detonated his suicide vest

  • Donald Trump announced Sunday morning that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead
  • U.S.-led forces descended on al-Baghdadi’s lair in Idlib, Syria overnight
  • The president said al-Baghdadi ‘died like a dog’ after being run down a dead-end tunnel and cornered
  • Baghdadi detonated his suicide vest, killing himself and three of his children
  • Eleven children were cleared from the lair
  • Baghdadi’s two wives were killed during the operation without their suicide vests being detonated
  • Trump teased Saturday night that he would be making a ‘major statement’
  • Al-Baghdadi issued a chilling call to arms in 2014 declaring an Islamic ‘caliphate’
  • Under his leadership, smaller-scale higher-frequency attacks became the norm
  • Trump says he does not regret pulling U.S. forces from northern Syria

NED NEDERLANDER: “Tell us, ‘we will die like dogs’.”

EL GUAPO: “What?”

NED NEDERLANDER: “Tell us, ‘we will die like dogs’.”

EL GUAPO: “You will die like dogs.”

DUSTY BOTTOMS: “No we will not die like dogs! We will fight like lions! Because we are!…”

NED NEDERLANDER, LUCKY DAY & DUSTY BOTTOMS: “The Three Amigos!”

Update On the Two Female ARMY Ranger School Graduates

Published by Papa Giorgio

Professor Clifford Thies has a great post… really an update to a story about the two female graduates from the Ranger School (see the above video for the typical “mass-media” view of the situation)

People magazine reports that the two female “graduates” of Army Ranger school were helped #1 by being given special training preparatory to the course that the men were not given, #2, by being familiarized with the course for land navigation, with which the men are not pre-familiared, and #3 by allowed second chances at challenges for which the men were only allowed one chance. Furthermore, a two-star general intervened mid-way through the Ranger School to make sure that all the instructors understood that at least one female would pass. Obviously, this is the Obamanated Army, the gay- and transvestite-friendly Army, where soldiers are ordered to look the other way when so-called allies commit atrocities, and where women are proven “equal” to men. Physiologically this is a crock of bull. Our species is dimorphic, although not in an exaggerated way.

The males tend to be taller and have greater upper body strength, and the brains are wired in ways that allows them to compartmentalize things (as in kill another human being and somehow not go insane). Women tend to have complimentary endowments. These differences enable us, as a species, to better survive as long as we work together. Given variation among individuals, there is little point to making generalizations based on gender. In terms of most male-oriented occupations, there are above-average women (in terms of the required mix of attributes) capable of being competitive. But, when you start talking about the best of the best of the best, no. It becomes vanishingly rare for a woman to be competitive.

[….]

Hopefully, the next Commander-in-Chief will drum all the box-check’ers in the officer corps out of the service, including a certain two-star general; and, give the two female officers who “passed” the Army Ranger course an opportunity to return the meaning of the Ranger tab, by opening a box in which they can place their tabs for safe-keeping until they finish their military careers…

Feminists want equality… but they can only achieve it through augmentation. Or, “special rights.”
