The Media and the Democrats (But I Repeat Myself) Attempt to Portray the Death of Al-Baghdadi as a Net Negative for US Security; Complain That Trump Is Not Treating al-Baghdadi with Enough "Respect"

INBOX: Wow shocking Washington Post video for Abu Bakr al Baghdadi

Okay, that's a parody based on the Washington Post calling this terrorist rapist and serial killer an "Austere Religious Scholar" in their obit, but, of course, the Washington Post and others in the media are in fact pushing a very similar line.

See if you can see a pattern -- a very subtle narrative -- to the Washington Post's "coverage" of the story:

Opinion: The U.S. kills an ISIS leader. But Trump is giving the group a new lease on life. https://t.co/rg26xpLfiD

Opinion: Three ways the Baghdadi raid undermines Trump’s chaotic policy https://t.co/LxvVB2twS3
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 28, 2019

Trump’s rollout of the news of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s death contrasted sharply with the Obama White House’s approach in 2011 on the death of Osama bin Laden https://t.co/QbLHEjT1Gu
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 27, 2019

Despite the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, some analysts question U.S. ability to prevent ISIS resurgence https://t.co/jfzMgahGhM
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 28, 2019

Bloomberg News, owned by a man threatening to run against Trump, also digs deep down into its partisan lizard-brain to paint al-Baghdadi as a rags-to-riches success story:

Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi transformed himself from a little-known teacher of Koranic recitation into the self-proclaimed ruler of an entity that covered swaths of Syria and Iraq https://t.co/CNI5XBsoai

There’s also the beheading and slaving, but other than that it’s a real Horatio Alger story. https://t.co/RCol9pwd1I

This is the Austere Religious Scholar these people are portraying as an idealistic dreamer who made good:

The operation that killed ISIS leader was named after Kayla Mueller, an American hostage who was captured by ISIS, tortured, raped by al-Baghdadi himself and then murdered.

Mueller refused to renounce her Christian faith while being an ISIS captive. May her memory be a blessing. pic.twitter.com/K3Xd50k4vU
— Hananya Naftali (@HananyaNaftali) October 27, 2019

Gee, you'd think that Trump made a terrible error by approving the mission, huh?

That's what this NeverTrumper from "Lawfareblog" says. We actually just increased recruitment for the Caliphate by killing the one man with the bloodline to establish a Caliphate at all.

At @lawfareblog, I wrote: "Much as al-Qaeda has used Osama bin Laden’s legacy as a propaganda tool since his death, were Baghdadi to be killed by U.S.-backed coalition forces, his legacy would almost certainly function as a recruitment tool for [ISIS]." https://t.co/quIvzr1RAt pic.twitter.com/OyGI2eu16b
— Michael S. Smith II (@MichaelSSmithII) October 27, 2019

James Clapper of course had to get in on this "This makes ISIS even more dangerous" spin.

Unreal. https://t.co/yKCVLpXmZL
— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) October 27, 2019

Even lefties with no love of Trump notice the huge difference between the media's celebration of Obama's "We got him" to this shrieking about Trump's taking out the cur:

Bin Laden was a bigger figure in the national psyche but the contrast is still illuminating:

2011: USA chants, dancing in the streets, media regurgitates Admin's talking points

2019: Major media skepticism, complaints about Trump's word choice, speculation of Russia conspiracy
— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) October 27, 2019

I was wondering if there was going to be a public celebration of the Baghdadi operation like when bin Laden was killed, but more likely this time is a vigil for Adam Schiff not getting briefed. https://t.co/Zr8sdovbML
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) October 27, 2019

Speaking of that, partisan, traitorous Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) complaining that Trump didn't give Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff a pre-raid briefing so that they could leak it and deliberately compromise the mission and maybe get US troops killed:

If Trump had briefed Democrats before the Baghdadi raid, it would have been his first clearly impeachable offense. The Dems have proven beyond all question that they cannot be trusted with such sensitive information. Trump would have been wildly irresponsible to loop them in.
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) October 27, 2019

Ed Driscoll points out that we had a solid lead on Baghdadi in 2015 -- but apparently egotists in the Obama Adminstrattion couldn't help brag about it to their media friends, who promptly published this information.

Then Baghdadi disappeared again.

In a wide-ranging interview moderated by Fox News' Catherine Herridge, Thomas, who leads the Special Operations Command, said his team was "particularly close" to Baghdadi after the 2015 raid that killed ISIS oil minister Abu Sayyaf. That raid also netted his wife, who provided a wealth of actionable information.
"That was a very good lead. Unfortunately, it was leaked in a prominent national newspaper about a week later and that lead went dead," Thomas said.

Jake Tapper, who Really Loves the Troops (TM) and starts tweeting about them whenever he's in trouble, calls the troops a "lesser matter:"

Jake Tapper just referred to the American heroes who carried out the Baghdadi raid as “lesser matters” pic.twitter.com/C4YX5FvMBR
— Austere Scholar Poso (@JackPosobiec) October 27, 2019

Another line of attack: That Trump told Russia "Please don't shoot down our helicopters which will pass through airspace you control." Apparently this is the New Collusion.

The attempt to turn this ISIS killing into the latest McCarthyite round of "Trump-💞-Putin" bullshit is even more pathetic than usual. Of course he told the Russians in advance: THEY NEEDED PERMISSION TO FLY OVER THEIR AIRSPACE along with other cooperation. 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) October 27, 2019

Oh my god they are really doing it, they are going to claim ORANGE MAN BAD for a terrorist leader being killed.

Never Trump is indistinguishable from an ISIS propaganda outlet. https://t.co/lwFsApkCUe
— Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) October 27, 2019

By the way, Trump did not "brief the Russians" about the nature and objective of the mission. He merely told them, as he must, that there would be American aircraft traversing Russia-controlled airspace in a certain time window and would they be kind enough to let them pass?

But of course the simple act of trying to keep American helicopters from being shot down is now collusion.

Annoying Twitter Troll and sockpuppeteer Pierre Delecto rushed to try to associate himself with someone else's success:

Just one week ago you claimed the president’s strategy would lead to a resurgence of ISIS. Sit down, Pierre https://t.co/UsRdf8aLTr

Remember, that wounded dog has more military experience than all the Romney family.
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) October 27, 2019

Mitt Romney is trying to ride on Trump's shoulders like he forced his dog to ride on top of the car.

Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) complaining that Trump's killing of Al-Badhdadi wasn't done with the sharply-creased-trouser elegance and elan of Obama:

The media angry over al-Baghdadi's death is GLORIOUS.

The media is pure evil.
— John Ocasio-Nolte (@NolteNC) October 27, 2019

This Vox reporter is very ass-mad about Trump using hurtful words about a man he just ordered to be executed:

"He died like a dog" -- Trump still has no idea what dogs do pic.twitter.com/mMMnNsQ0cB
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) October 27, 2019

Good of you to look out for the brutal murdering serial raping terrorist’s humanity.
— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) October 27, 2019

CNN's Max Boot, another Chairborne Ranger first-class, stood up to defend Baghdadi's courage and valor:

Hi @CNNPR! What’s the deal with paid CNN contributor Max Boot standing up for Baghdadi? @oliverdarcy @jaketapper pic.twitter.com/5tLGDBUTid
— Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) October 28, 2019

He's now claiming he didn't mean the words he wrote. He didn't mean to "conveyu the impression" that Baghdadi had courage.

True, Boot did not mean to merely imply it, he explicitly declared it:

@MaxBoot

An earlier version included a sentence questioning whether Trump was right to call Baghdadi a coward. That was removed b/c it wrongly conveyed the impression that I considered Baghdadi courageous. As I wrote Sun: Baghdadi was "a sick and depraved man."

Looks like you also deleted this tweet, which made it clear exactly what you were trying to convey. https://t.co/JoOPIkTjEG pic.twitter.com/h6CulwGLfO
— Jerry Dunleavy (@JerryDunleavy) October 28, 2019

Obama's Ambassador to Qatar (of course) is very, very upset that Trump used mean words to describe al-Badhdadi, and urges that we give him a very respectful Muslim funeral.

When bin Laden was killed, we were careful to be clear that he had been given a proper Muslim burial. Not because we gave a damn about him but because it was important for our relationships in the region and safety of our military and diplomats.
— Dana Shell Smith (@AmbDana) October 27, 2019

Jen Psaki also pushed that line:

I hear Obama alum Jen Psaki is on tv talking about the importance of Obama giving Bin Laden a Muslim burial, too.

Seems like the talking points have gone out—we’ve been too disrespectful to ISIS because we assume so many Muslims in the region support them?
— David Reaboi (@davereaboi) October 27, 2019

Obama official Mike Morrell, who edited the Benghazi talking points to cover up for Hillary Clinton, and then, strangely enough, went to work for lots of money for a private intelligence company closely connected to Hillary Clinton, also thinks we're being big meanies:

BREAKING: Obama CIA deputy Michael Morell on CBS "Face the Nation" slammed Trump for engaging in "locker room" talk about bringing back the slain ISIS kingpin's "body parts," arguing he should have shown more respect under Islamic customs like Obama did w Osama bin Laden's body pic.twitter.com/KmfQu9aOsO
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) October 27, 2019

Another Obama official whines that Trump didn't kill Baghdadi with enough "respect."

BREAKING: Speaking this morning on CBS "Face the Nation," Obama's Jt Chiefs Vice Chair James Winnefeld bashed Trump for "piling humiliation" on ISIS after lethal raid on its kingpin:"If you look back at the bin Laden raid, we treated his body with respect that is due under Islam" pic.twitter.com/qUavXsHYOl
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) October 27, 2019

Even more whining from CNN that Trump wasn't nice enough in talking about Baghdadi -- in fact, he "sounds like ISIS," the Noted CNN Talking Head expertly opines.

CNN says that Trump sounds just like ISIS leader. pic.twitter.com/6rxy9jAWQI
