“Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.”

A simple to the point statement about the raid on and death of Osama Bin Laden.

“Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counter terrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. The American people do not see their work, nor know their names. But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.”

A simple thank you to those who carried out the mission.

Anything further would be stated later with details only made public if it was appropriate to do so, and any antagonistic language went unused, obviously in order to not pour fuel on the fires of revenge.

In contrast, when announcing the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Trump, as usual, could not make a simple announcement.

It would have been sufficient, and we all would have been satisfied and willing to give him credit, had he simply stated,

“Last night the United States brought the world’s No. 1 terrorist leader to justice. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead. He was the founder and leader of ISIS, the most ruthless and violent terror organization anywhere in the world. The United States has been searching for al-Baghdadi for many years. Capturing or killing him has been the top national security priority of my administration. U.S. special operations forces executed a dangerous and daring night-time raid in northwestern Syria and accomplished their mission in grand style. The U.S. personnel were incredible.”

But he needed to get some attention, so he added,

“I got to watch much of it.”

Unlike Obama who simply stated Bin Laden had been killed, Trump found a need to become descriptive about the events by relating his impressions like child who needs validation.

The ISIS leader “died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering, crying, and screaming all the way. The compound had been cleared by this time with people either surrendering or being shot and killed. Eleven young children were moved out of the house and are uninjured. The only ones remaining were Baghdadi in the tunnel. He had dragged three of his young children with him. They were led to certain death. He reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased them down. He ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children. His body was mutilated by the blast, the tunnel had caved in on it in addition.”

Baghdadi “died like a dog, he died like a coward. He was whimpering, screaming, and crying. Frankly I think it is something that should be brought out so his followers and all of these young kids that want to leave the various countries, including the United States, they should see how he died. He did not die a hero, he died a coward. Crying, whimpering, and screaming and bringing three kids with him to death.

And, as he has done before, he let it be known that the special forces had information now and in the process alerted ISIS to change its plans.

“The thug who tried so hard to intimidate others spent his last moments in utter fear, and total panic and dread, terrified of the American forces bearing down on him. We were in the compound for approximately two hours, and after the mission was accomplished we took highly sensitive material and information from the raid. Much having to do with ISIS origins, future plans, things that we very much want.”

He then moved on to taunting ISIS as if baiting them to come after us.

“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi — Baghdadi and the losers who work for him, and losers they are, had no idea what they were getting into. In some cases, they were very frightened puppies. In other cases, they were hard-core killers. They killed many people.”

He added a few brags.

“I got to watch it along with the general, Vice President Pence, and others, in the Situation Room. We watched it so clearly. … I don’t want to say how, but [it was] as though you are watching a movie.”

“They (ISIS) are technically brilliant. They use the internet better than almost anybody in the world, perhaps other than Donald Trump.”

“If you read about the history of Donald Trump, I was a civilian. I had nothing to do with going into Iraq and I was totally I always used to say ‘if they are going to go in’ — I’m sure you have heard this — ‘if they are going into Iraq, keep the oil.’ They never did.”

And his biggest boast?

“You know, if you read my book, there was a book just before the World Trade Center came down. And I don’t get any credit for this but that’s OK. I never do. But here we are. I wrote a book, a really very successful book and in that book about a year before the World Trade Center was blown up, I said there is somebody named Osama bin Laden, you better kill him or take him out, something to that effect, he’s big trouble. Now, I wasn’t in government. I was building buildings and doing what I did but I always found it fascinating. But I saw this man, tall, handsome, very charismatic making horrible statements about wanting to destroy our country. And I’m writing a book. I think I wrote 12 books. All did very well. And I’m writing a book, World Trade Center had not come down. I think it was about, if you check it was a year before the World Trade Center came down. And nobody heard of al-Baghdadi. And no one heard of Osama bin Laden until really the World Trade Center. But about a year, a year and a half before the World Trade Center, before the book came out, I was talking about Osama bin Laden, you have to kill him, you have to take him out. Nobody listened to me. And to this day I get people coming up to me and they said you know what, one of the most amazing things I’ve seen about you is that you predicted that Osama bin Laden had to be killed before he knocked down the World Trade Center. It’s true. Most of the press doesn’t want to write that but it is true. If you go back and look at my book, I think it’s ‘The America We Deserve.’ I made a prediction — let’s put it this way, if they would have listened to me, a lot of things would have been different.”

The book he referenced was “The America We Deserve,” and it contained one reference to Bin Laden,

“Instead of one looming crisis hanging over us, we face a bewildering series of smaller crises, flash points, standoffs, and hot spots. We’re not playing the chess game to end all chess games anymore. We’re playing tournament chess — one master against many rivals. One day we’re all assured that Iraq is under control, the UN inspectors have done their work, everything’s fine, not to worry. The next day the bombing begins. One day we’re told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jetfighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it’s on to a new enemy and new crisis.”

The prediction that

 “One day we’re told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one”

was not a matter of prescience since Bin Laden was a well-known figure before the World Trade attack, and Trump had stated in that book,

“I really am convinced we’re in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers. No sensible analyst rejects this possibility, and plenty of them, like me, are not wondering if but when it will happen.”

Obviously, not only was he not the lone voice crying in the wilderness, he also did not call for the killing of Bin Laden.

And then, his obsession with President Obama came through clearly as, once again, he had to offer that what he did bested his predecessor while confusing father with son.

“Hamza bin Laden was a big thing, but this is the biggest there is. 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.”

And, finally, after thanking Russia for all it did in this mission, he gave a slight nod to the Kurds.

“[The Russians] were very cooperative, they really were good. And we said it would be a mission they’d like, too, because they hate ISIS, too.”

“We told the Russians we were going in because we were going over them.”

And then, because the Kurds provided intelligence that the US forces made use of, Trump got around to thanking them too after thanking others first.

“I want to thank the nations of Russia, Turkey, Syria, and Iraq and I also want to thank the Syrian Kurds for certain support they were able to give us.” 

He should ave taken a page from Obama and just told us that with his direction the mission was carried out and was successful.

But, no, he had to be the star.
