A Tale of Two ASSets

The news on the wire is that US special forces have eliminated Al Baghdadi, the leader of the ISIS movement in Syria.

After allowing this nutcase and his followers to roll into Syria in 2014 with his endless truck convoys under clear blue skies, without any harassment from the ‘mighty’ US military terrorist smiters, Trump has decided to fire this hapless asset.

This is indeed the fate of all US-created nutcases, should they not deliver.

Al Baghdadi was a US asset, just like Osama Bin Laden. And like old Osama, the US decided to 'retire' this flop as he is no longer needed. Just don't expect any evidence to back any of this up. You’ll have to 'trust' Don Trumpolino. This 'announcement' may not even be true, and a part of some propaganda campaign.

The Trump regime has not been doing too well in the international and military arena, has suffered a huge embarrassment in Syria, and compromised itself in front of its European NATO vassals.

So it’s always nice to have a handy boogeyman to ‘kill’ at such a challenging time and score some points, right before a re-election. Remember that Obummer also decided to end OBL a year before his re-election.

But the question is, what other boogeyman does the US have stuffed in its pocket? Because let’s remember that right after Bin Laden was done away with, Mr. Baghdadi popped up on the scene.

Can we expect a 3rd, even worse US-created nutcase to come on the scene in the next weeks and months?

The pattern is indeed troubling.
