NYT:
"For months, intelligence
officials had kept Mr. Trump apprised of what he had set as a top
priority, the hunt for Mr. al-Baghdadi, the world’s most wanted
terrorist.
But Mr. Trump’s abrupt withdrawal order three weeks ago disrupted the meticulous planning underway and forced Pentagon officials to speed up the plan for the risky night raid before their ability to control troops, spies and reconnaissance aircraft disappeared with the pullout, the officials said.
Mr. al-Baghdadi’s death in the raid on Saturday, they said, occurred largely in spite of, and not because of, Mr. Trump’s actions.";

My Comment:
It's a miracle the raid was completed
successfully no thanks to the stable genius who nearly screwed things
up by his Syria withdrawal! The withdrawal did not last long. Troops as
I write this are being diverted to the Syrian oil fields. Trump said
of Iraq when we began that war based on lies that we should have kept
the oil. Who would notice? Seems like a war crime to me to go in and
steal a nation's assets. True to the fascist MO. Invade, bomb a nation
into oblivion and then steal everything that is not nailed down. Sick.
