This is complete and utter bullshit ,how many times is it now its said hes been killed ,this was op to deflect big story from russian mod of IS stealing syrian oil and up pops this bull.
US stealing Syrian oil .
Yet again. But, I think it’s the first time I remember the US making the claim.
Al-Baghdadi's Death Is a Symbolic Achievement – but It's Too Late for the Kurds
The timing of the ISIS leader's killing benefits Trump, but it is unlikely to hamper the group's plans for attacks
never heard of this guy
never heard of you
Lol, youre killing us
They should show his corpse surrounded by pigs.
Next, the old fool who bangs his forehead on the concrete 5 times a day and tries to stay relevant.
I can't wait to read the details.
al-Baghdadi has to grow a beard. It is the only way he can convince himself that he is a man. It is not like he could tell from his day to day actions.
Oh how Allah will judge that devil al-Baghdadi and cast him in to a pit of burning sulfur.
To allege "US stealing Syrian oil ." is to come across as a moron or a liberal. Same thing really.

Bob has shed his tears for Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Now he is here to monitor what we say about him. Be nice to Bob today. He had a rough night.
Trump is so desperate to get some kind of good news to report that he likely didn't wait for the DNA test to confirm the right target was killed. Next week it could all go South yet again.
Here is a prediction. By the end of November it will turn out that the guy they actually killed was Abu Bakr al-Anonisadick.
Oct 22, 2012. Trump:Stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden. The Navy Seals killed Bin Laden.

Bob is getting everything the derision he deserves.
If 1 civilian, a relation, to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Bobby will be in high dudgeon.
Make book on it.

It is a bitch Obama getting credit etc., for the kill.
But remember he did pass on killing that little girl in Yemen, Bin Laden's 7 year old grand daughter, Newar. Probably because he had two young daughters at home and having his name on the killing would not look good at the supper table and just bring back memories of his ordering her father, a citizen of the United States of America, the Constitution of which he was suppossidly an expert and sworn to protect, notwithstanding.
Obviously Trump had no such concerns about what his daughters might think of him ordering the killing of a little girl, nor of course the Constitution which he also swore to protect.
A new Oath of Office for the President is needed. Something with consequences for violating it. Impeachment should handle that little issue I would think.
Bob,
With putrid pukes such as yourself flopping around it is SOP for jihadis to live with their families instead of a military encampment so they can use them as a shield.
That makes you guilty as sin.
Your heroes could have set up some tents away for the village, found or made some caves. No, they want to use people as human shield.
Your buddy Sodom Hussein did this very thing and CNN gleefully covered it.
You should really seek some help from a psychiatrist for being the gamma male that you are and extreme Stockholm syndrome that you suffer from.
If you remember Al Qaeda was going after shopping malls and the civilians inside of them in the 1990s.
"He then detonated a suicide vest, killing himself. Trump said three children who were with al-Baghdadi were also killed in the blast. "
Bobby's hero killed 3 of his children or those of his associates. Maybe he kidnapped the children to use from local villagers or Kurds to use as human shields.
It's okay Bobby. You'll quit crying. You'll take your uppers and be mouthing off like an idiot in no time at all.

I merely make observations and you blow a gasket. Supper time around your house must be really entertaining.

I can see you have no regard for the Constitution. That makes you anti-America. Maybe if they changed the name of the document to Manifesto would you feel better.
I am just studying a specimen, you.
And what a specimen. Except for society providing you guide rails you would have died long ago in the wilderness cold, hungry, listening to the wolves close in and wondering why you did not decide to fly right.
Alas for you, your society is failing. Sux to be U.

Although China is the world’s biggest oil importing country and heavily relies on energy imports from the Middle East, it does not have a military presence in the region.
Chinese businesses used to invest in and trade with Syria before the civil war broke out in 2011. Bilateral trade between China and Syria amounted to US$2.4 billion that year. Almost all Chinese companies have since pulled out or suspended operations there.
The withdrawal of US troops from Syria is likely to delay its reconstruction.
US withdrawal from Syria leaves China’s plans for investment up in the air, analysts say
Beijing anticipates opportunities during Syria’s reconstruction to advance its ‘Belt and Road Initiative’

US President Donald Trump’s surprise decision to withdraw US forces from Syria will leave China’s intended investment into the country’s reconstruction in uncertainty, analysts said, adding that the move might also suggest a stronger strategic focus by Washington on the Indo-Pacific region to put pressure on Beijing.
Experts said it remains unclear when the troop withdrawals will be completed but the departure is likely to prolong instability in Syria and delay its reconstruction.
“Trump is restarting the game and all parties there will make their own moves. China is watching closely how changes in the Middle East would affect its own interests there,” said Wu Xinbo, director of the Centre for American Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai.
China has kept its distance from the Syria conflict but is interested in promoting its economic presence in the war-torn country under the “Belt and Road Initiative”, according to Wang Jian, a Middle East expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing.
“Chinese companies and investment cannot hurry now,” he said, adding that security would be a major concern with the withdrawal of US troops.
“If the security situation worsens, it will affect China’s intended economic cooperation in the region. Security risks may also spill over to other countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE where China has extensive economic interests.”
Although China is the world’s biggest oil importing country and heavily relies on energy imports from the Middle East, it does not have a military presence in the region.
Chinese businesses used to invest in and trade with Syria before the civil war broke out in 2011. Bilateral trade between China and Syria amounted to US$2.4 billion that year. Almost all Chinese companies have since pulled out or suspended operations there.
Exit from Syria is a lesson for Asia about trusting US
But should the situation stabilise, Chinese companies will return and Beijing is keenly interested in reconstruction. Analysts said the belt and road plan emphasises trade and infrastructure construction, and that both will be urgently needed when reconstruction begins. According to United Nations estimates, the seven-year military conflict has wiped out nearly US$400 billion worth of assets in Syria.
Analysts said also that Chinese businesses were likely to be welcome in a post-war Syria as they have been in Iraq. In a recent interview with Xinhua, Wafiqa Hosni, Syria’s state minister for investment affairs, said the Assad government considered China, which has taken a stance similar to that of Russia at the UN Security Council concerning Syrian issues, a “friendly country”.
China, meanwhile, has already taken steps to establish an early foothold in the Syrian market. Last year, it convened its first “Syria Reconstruction Projects Fair” in Beijing, putting forward a US$2 billion plan to build an industrial estate in the country that could accommodate as many as 150 companies.
Hence why "We got the oil wiff tanks and stuff".
Or maybe not.
Even Alibaba is having trouble figuring it out.
Depends on which narrative Aizinonymous' peeps are spinning today.
It doesn't matter though, because they are always "Right".
The tanks are there to prevent Syria (Asad) doing to the Syrian Kurds what the Shia (Maliki) did to the Kurds & Sunnis in Iraq.
The Shia in Iraq did not share the oil wealth equally per population percentage.
There is no expectation that Gasser Assad would be any different.
