Chris Wallace questioned the VP on Trump saying he didn’t inform Pelosi in advance, with “the implication seeming to be that Pelosi or members of Congress would leak this.”
“Does the President not trust the Speaker of the House with sensitive national security information?” Wallace asked.
Pence disputed that was the implication, saying Trump’s “total focus was on a successful mission” and on the safety of the troops. (MEDIA-ite)
President Donald Trump compared Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Osama bin Laden during his press conference announcing the ISIS leader’s death.
“Hamza — Bin Laden was a big thing, but this is the biggest there is,” the president said. “This is the worst ever. Osama bin Laden was very big but Osama bin Laden became big with the World Trade Center. This is a man who built a whole — as he would like to call it — a country, a caliphate. And was trying to do it again.”(MEDIA-ite)
Dana Shell Smith, a former U.S. ambassador to Qatar, warned that being so descriptive could backfire by stoking more anger toward the United States. She pointed out that former President Barack Obama was far more careful in describing al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden's killing. The Obama administration even pointed out that it gave bin Laden's body an Islamic funeral ritual before slipping it into the ocean. "It was important for our relationships in the region and safety of our military and diplomats," the former ambassador wrote on Twitter. "It’s how America rolls. With honor. We don’t delight in death like the terrorists do." Bednarek said the president’s extended remarks, in which he also repeatedly took credit for the raid and the defeat of ISIS, struck him as “a bit disquieting."(POLITICO)
Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you. No, you can't. Yes, I can. No, you can't. Yes, I can. YES, I can! o, you can't. Yes, I can, Yes, I can! (Anything You Can Do/’Annie get Your Gun’/Irving Berlin)
A coincidence…a third dimension where time and space meld into reality…a really brilliant military move performed after tireless hours of debate and discussion…a joint effort by the Congress and the Executive branch banding together to provide security and safety for the American people. BULL SHIT…Of course, we should be delighted that the life of a murderer, a terrorist, a con man for Mohammed, and enemy of morals and values is dead…but let’s be real America…Trump needs to deflect, to deter, to deny…to provide this nation with one more old-time magical act done with smoke and mirrors. IMPEACHMENT, the sooner the better, the sooner the saner, the sooner the safer, the sooner. Least we all die a horrible death as democracy is destroyed, but a man without a soul!
