Who Deserves the Blame For Letting ISIS Leader Escape?
Posted On 24 Jul 2017
There’s been something of a four-way blame game going on this week between The New York Times, Fox News, President Donald Trump, and officials of the Obama administration. At issue is a foiled 2015 plot by U.S. forces to capture and/or kill ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Baghdadi, as we know, ultimately escaped at that time (although recent rumors indicate that he may have finally gone on to his eternal reward – his eternal fiery reward, if there is any divine justice), and now there are conflicting stories as to why.
In an interview with Fox News’s Catherine Herridge last week, Gen. Tony Thomas of Special Operations Command said that his team was closing in on the ISIS leader in May 2015 after a raid in which another top ISIS chief, Abu Sayyaf, was killed. Special forces took Sayyaf’s wife into custody and began extracting intelligence that provided new insight into the operations and movement of the Islamic State.
Shortly thereafter, The New York Times published a report on the raid, quoting sources inside the Obama administration on background. Those sources, according to the Times, provided the paper with “confidential intelligence assessments” that opened up “additional details about the materials recovered from the house of Abu Sayaff, a nom de guerre for a Tunisian militant whom American authorities have since identified as Fathi ben Awn ben Jildi Murad al-Tunisi.”
In his interview with Fox News, Gen. Thomas said that while the intelligence gathered in the raid was invaluable, giving special forces a “very good lead” on the whereabouts of Baghdadi, that lead “went dead” when the information was leaked to the press. While Thomas did not specifically call the New York Times out by name, the timing of the story was too right to be coincidental.
Thomas’s comments were reported on by Fox & Friends, catching the attention of none other than President Trump, who took the opportunity to bash the Times for their reckless reporting.
“The Failing New York Times foiled U.S. attempt to kill the single most wanted terrorist, Al-Baghdadi,” Trump wrote in a tweet. He subsequently accused the paper of putting their “sick agenda over national security.”
The Times, eager to defend their reputation, fact-checked the Fox report and Trump’s claims the next day in their Sunday edition. In that article, the Times (naturally) excused themselves of any responsibility, instead pointing the finger at the Obama administration. In the report, they claimed “the information in the Times article on June 8 came from United States government officials who were aware that the details would be published.”
In a duel between the Obama administration and the New York Times, we don’t even know which side to take…but it does go to show how leaked information can harm a president’s agenda, even when that president is someone other than Donald Trump.

I could only wish they got him and his henchmen
We can only dream. AG Sessions has recused himself.
OKAY
Yes; very sad indeed, and I had great respect for Sessions up until he did that despicable deed.
sessions had to abide by the law to recuse himself he had no choice https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eef0c5ce991e647d9c8d5b628900d67ce764e37ae4ac85af6fb07bc9c2a11d8e.jpg
We should be so blessed
Are you serious ?
Obama is the leaker, send a drone in to eradicate the leak.
hahahaha …. Trump is the frickin leaker!!! hahahaha
Your diaper is leaking.
That is where the mouth piece is
Check your pants for leaks, stupid!!
Good Lord you people are stupid!
Hey KB, you slithered out from under that rock again I see
The attempt to undermine President Trump’s agenda , obama’ administration “leakers” caused a military disaster putting the military in a dangerous position in harms way! These leaks have got to stop for the sake of national security and the security of our service people! Stopped either by the administration, the news media or by the FBI or CIA ; with charges of treason to the leakers and or the newspaper editors responsible for the leak in the press! Then and only then will the newspapers be careful what they print without clearing it with the military or the administration first
I call for the assassination of any and all “leakers”; they are enemies of the state, and as such have given up any ‘rights” they may think they have!

I honestly do not put much trust in wikileaks, look at it’s beginnings!
She does have that African nose , maybe that is who she meant as being native American and not Indian .
Wow you are ridiclous what are you a athiest or just born stupid ?
In less “politically correct” times, which is another way of saying when there was less organizational cowardice and accepted insanity, we would call such “leakers” what they are: Traitors and deal with them appropriately for aiding and abetting the enemy in the time of war.
then that would bve gay muslim obama himself who as we all know protected,aided/abetted his muslim terrorist brotherhood https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/209f7a02e1e8ff97b2dbc1f82ed115f9eabc3f20d965474afb0c1367c6567711.jpg
True words from our No.1 Muslim .
You got every bit of that right, along with using text pair funds to do that. Why nothing will happen because the big one world order money will cover it up, as they always do and again just will go on served and only the American people will lose. We have no heroes and government Raleigh to prostitutes or cowards!
THE BLAME RESTS SOLELY ON THE ENTIRE OBUMMER ADMINISTRATION AND HITLERY’S BLUNDERS AS SECRETARY OF STATE.
There is much more than what we were taught in all levels of ‘Public Education”. Without wars and enslavement of people under puppet govenment control, the financiers of the NWO would decrease their profits. A Biblical World view helps but as an over view,
. The “anti-Trump” operatives, politicians and legislators either have an ill founded anti-American passion or have been bought through massive bribes, [donations, gifts, campaign funding…], extortion [entrapment by evidence of sexual or other character destructive exploits] or some psychological indebtedness to their perceived benefactors.
. These benefactors (via lobbyists) are of the establishment which is the shadow government directed by a cartel of international and big bankers who control us (our country) as a legal corporation. This cartel also controls the NWO via the UN, One World Bank, IMF and their international laws which emanate from the headquarters in Brussels and foreign based banks. [They want to disseminate every structured government and ruler so they can enslave all by their central power…hence they use Obama as the person who did more damage to our country than any man in history and they are richly rewarding him and his team for that]
. I cannot think of any agency or department recently established or expanded that benefits “We the Taxpaying People”. These entities use our taxpayer funds for their corporate research/studies to only benefit themselves or create barriers for competition [E.G. limit new medicine or product approvals while hiding proof to continue their use of harmful but profitable ones].
. Within Establishment leadership, many are secretly entrapped by or members to Skull and Bones, Bilderberg, Illuminati, Bohemian Grove, … and I cannot identify one with a Biblical world view within the names I searched. In 2012 the DNC eliminated and denounced all mention of or references to God.
. I believe President Trump is fulfilling his promises (our “Election Prayers”) and often is in direct opposition to the Anti-God control and beliefs of the Establishment. As a result, the Establishment’s well-funded ‘anti-trump’ effort creates, distorts, embellishes and fabricates every form of disruption, slander, scandal and lie to destroy this presidency and uses their willing media to shamelessly and repeatedly promote them. Being anti-God, they do not see the risk of those following the Koran which is Satan’s counterfeit and antitheses of God’s Bible. See http://www.GodAuthoredBible.com .
. Yet, with hundreds of hired lawyers, investigators & reporters, not even one accusation has substantiated, presented with verified evidence or proven valid. Now most people are awakening to the Establishment’s corruption and are becoming very aware of what is happening. Please pray for this administration.
I believe what you said was the most honest and truthful statement I have read about what is happening to America. I am so proud to have read what you think and willing to express. You are definitely a follower of the true God, our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you. I pray that we will see a revival in the world soon.
While there are a ‘select’ few (like you) who understand that these world conflicts (and conspiracies) are only the consequence of a spiritual battle, most are deniers; which is a real shame because if one does not understand and identify their ‘real’ enemy, they cannot possibly hope to overcome that enemy!
well said and totally based on bible predictions, sad part bible says muslims will take over and rule the world, satan used gay muslim obama to enforce his goal of worldwide takeover https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dc47e409e0b65979d794da8a52be62f4993b3bc755b658aac843ace9fac3c9c1.jpg
Let’s see if Sessions can get the leakers. I feel there are still a lot of Obama leftovers in the DOJ and it is time for Sessions to start firing and get rid of his partner Rosenstein who to me has done nothing and is responsible for Mueller.
the sad fact is almost 45% of Americans support this ex black president…these Americans represent the cancer that is destroying this nation…it is the same Americans that supported Hillary Clinton…there is no nation in the world that can destroy America…it is only the cancer from within
perhaps those 45% respresenting gay muslim child rapist obama are just like him pedophiles corrupt, lairs, killers, scum of the earth into child traffcing like obama https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cd94415c7d7dc168a4f8881e9ae64003be227bab55fcacfd3c9f218403eccb0b.jpg
The NYT should be shut down, and the owners, editors and reporters that wrote these stories should be tried and if guilty imprisoned. This has got to stop. Imagine losing a loved one because NYT or Obama people leaked this info. Its ridiculous just like dropping leaflets to tell terrorists we are going to bomb them. THIS MESS IS TREASON.
john molesta podesta works for the washington times now does that tell you anything? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/be82b3e597d1f7a1488d1b25c3904ba49113a77b7e941ce5a95cecf2ee09c455.jpg
Again, somebody leaked classified information to the New York Times who being an anti American, socialist rag, printed it and gave ISIS a heads up.
at obozo’s bidding of course
obama did the leaking to the press
Wouldn’t that mean that it’s time for a Gallows! In Public and on Live TV……someone, pass the popcorn!
I agree Frank, and I say NO 1st Amendment protection for the Times or ANY “news
media/network” if classified information is disseminated. They forfeit
any 1st Amendment Rights or guarantees because the news isn’t informative for the
People, but to aid the enemy. I say the FBI, DOJ and even President
Trump should press charges because this information aides the enemy AND
put’s our forces at risk. I bet these scumbags would even capitalize on
any casualties that would stem from a kill or capture order based on
leaked info to push THEIR agenda.
…The New York Times published a report on the raid, quoting sources inside the Obama administration on background.

>>> Obama leaked it, The N Y Times dutifully printed it. <<<
who was the president??? b HUSSEIN o!!! He took credit with the capture of bin laden, so he gets the credit for losing this evil, wicked, Al-Baghdadi!!! It is typical for this failed president to pass the buck when negative news. Yet he claims credit for the positive things, even if he was not responsible. worst president ever
I whole-heartedly agree Jeannie!! Absolute WORST president EVER
YOu are right on!!
I could not have said it better
Yes; obutthead was not only the worst pres. ever, he was also the worst lying hypocrite to ever walk into the WH.
gay muslim obama was the president, who lied and lied, who did child traffcing out of white house and clinton foundation that made him a rich man, he preyed /raped little boys for his pleasure gave parties in basement of whitehouse for the senators to rape little boys, his crimes are so heinious against lives of little boys, hopefully when he goes to heaven he will get 14 virgins as his reward https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fd94f0df1fb9d12ae023a3af996b071539a7f75e31c8c38475f62bd934c048b1.jpg
It was President Bush that started the “hunt” for bin Laden, NOT obama! But he sure took credit for it NOT giving the REAL hero’s who captured bin Laden, the military personnel ! Oh no, he came on T.V. & took ALL the credit! I remember it well!
Did I say b HUSSEIN o started it?? No where in my statement did I say that. You just repeated what my statement said. b HUSSEIN o took the
credit.
I don’t see where I said that obama started it or that YOU said that! I’m simply clarifying the truth, NOT that YOU said it!!!
I read where you said President Bush started it NOT obama. Just clarifying the truth…sorry if it upset you
Obama and all his administration were and still are traitors to our country. Obama and his administration, from Biden on down, needs to be brought to trial and executed for treason.
obama is first one to be indicted but has not will not he is anti-christ and above the laws even laws of God in heaven,,,i am surprised putin has not taken gay muslim obama out for falsely accusing russia of interfering in election,
FOIA Reveals Obama Administration Released Hundreds of Illegal Alien Sex Offenders
It is way, way past time to take the gloves off sheeple, especially you useful idiots on the Left; we are being played as fine fiddles! The Godless, Satan worshipping, power-mad, NWO-elitist ghouls are using Islamic terrorism and the immigration crisis as their tool to fool the Fools. These diabolical bastards are playing chess while the sheeple are playing tiddly-winks and have their heads so far up their asses and their cell phones sewn to their ears that they can’t realize that these ghouls don’t want to stop these horrific planned attacks on humanity. They are indirectly behind them as they feign wanting to stop them but once again they had this sub-human on the radar screen – like many others, even in our country – but somehow they escape capture until all of the murdering takes place, WAKE THE FUK UP! They then trot out their black-clad, jackbooted, heavily armed thugs as a show of force to intimidate you innocent sheeple and scare you half to death so that you never ever think about doing the right thing and revolting against the NWO-elitists! We are down the shit hole of tyranny but the sheeple have been dumbed-down, drugged-up ( legal and illegal ), brainwashed, PC bullied into acting as the zombies that they have become! The only response , pathetic and superficial at that, is to place flowers and teddy bears at the scene of the murders and sing kumbya while the devil worshipping pols reiterate the usual feckless, meaningless drivel and then life goes on as if nothing happened and there was even one reply from some leftist ghoul that said you can expect this to continue – baa, baa, bleat the sheeple, give “US” more, we like taking it up the ass! Now we have the Satan worshipping ghouls, formerly the democ-rats and now the Communist Party USA shutting down free speech and stopping investigations into murders because they would be exposed as the killers that they are! They are stopping anyone that dares speak out against them i. e. Trump, O’Rielley, Hannity and they want to even take over the internet with the faux “Net Neutrality” to stop any free speech as they deem constitutes hate speech AGAINST THEM! WAKE THE FUK UP! I myself have had enough and I declare that: REVOLUTION will be the final SOLUTION or subject your sorry asses to a life of misery, squalor and serfdom while these Godless ghouls live as the kings and queens that they currently are doing on your dime and mine! It will get much worse unless it is addressed “RIGHT” now! Our country, freedom, pursuit of happiness are on the line but unfortunately the sheeple – most of them – couldn’t care less but they will when it is too late – guaranteed! Armr==========================? – – – we will be needing them!

Obama is a Muslim terrorist why would he want an ISIS leader captured ? He wouldn’t and that’s the whole story in a nutshell….the times does this to run a ruse….then when the heat comes… it’s already too late the rat has rscaped, …and the Times blames Obama as per their agreement ….this is what enemies of a foreign principle do….there are many in this nation…
If it hadn’t been so harmful, it would be amusing how this country went eight years without any kind of President to lead at all and only a fraud, hell bent on destroying this nation.
2015, my money is on oboma sent him an e-mail 3 weeks before the attack
Oh Hell – Blame in on the Russians!
No blame it on climate change
Yes denoferth they’re traitors anyone who “leaks” information and especially classified information is definitely a traitor and should definitely be prosecuted as such
I believe president Obama is the main reason for this ISIS empowerment.
First, he removed US security forces in Iraq on 2011, allowing ISIS to take over including all US military equipment. Then ISIS moves on taking banks and oil field of Iraq. On 2014, Obama was asked to stop ISIS. But he refused calling ISIS a JV Team.
On 2015, Obama funded the Syrian rebels $500 million, ending with 2 rebels left, most rebels joined ISIS. Where did the $500 go? I think ISIS took them.
NYT/Mr. BO (Obama) that’s what I call you know who.
