As Radio France Internationale journalist David Thomson described it in 2017, "For ISIS supporters, Baghdadi is doing something concrete, controls territory, defies the entire world, unlike the old scholars of al-Qaida who appear behind the times." As the trove of materials accompanying Baghdadi, retrieved by U.S. forces, are perused in the weeks ahead, the public will know in detail the importance of his leadership of the dislodged terrorist caliphate, and will learn of planned ISIS plots.
The carrying out of President Donald Trump's order to eliminate Baghdadi will be paired with another big net minus for Democrats: U.S. attorney for Connecticut John Durham's Russian election influence probe shifting into a criminal investigation.
As does Democrats immediately - and groundlessly - accusing Attorney General William Barr of meddling in Durham's probe.
The dubious charges against Barr and Durham are an indication that more overplaying from Democrats is ahead, as was the grousing Sunday morning on CBS from Michael Morell, who was acting CIA director under President Barack Obama, that Trump's "Locker room" talk in announcing the Bagdhadi raid might enflame rather than reduce terrorism.
Good luck to congressional Democrats and the party's 2020 presidential candidates depicting Trump as vulgarizing what is effectively the decapitation of ISIS. Like enhanced interrogation by the George W. Bush administration in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the diplomatic elite may be soured, but ordinary Americans, from the cities to the suburbs to the country, want genuine toughness in a commander in chief in fighting terrorism, except for those on the furthest extremes of the left.
The president already brought attention to Democrats' abuse of power by violating custom and keeping Pelosi and other leading Democrats in Congress out of the loop on the risky Baghdadi operation, on grounds that any leak could imperil U.S. personnel.
Add to that petty complaints about Trump comparing the ISIS leader to a whimpering dog; the lopsided, secretive, unorthodox manner in which the Democrats' impeachment inquiry is being conducted; and then, finally, the possible criminal bombshells to come from Durham that will be difficult for Democrats to depict as tainted.
