Donald Trump is now engaging in a “Can you top this?”<\/em> game involving the dispatching of international terrorists.<\/p>\n

Disgusting!<\/p>\n

The president had the gall to say that the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was “bigger” than the 2011 killing of Osama bin Laden. While he was taking questions from reporters Sunday after announcing al-Baghdadi’s death at the hands of Army Delta Force commandos, Trump decided — and this is no surprise — to suggest he had one-upped the mission authorized by President Barack H. Obama to kill bin Laden.<\/p>\n

Oh, he did say that killing the al-Qaeda leader, bin Laden, was “big,” but then he said taking out the Islamic State honcho was an even more significant event.<\/p>\n

Well, I won’t enter a debate over which death was bigger. It is pointless and irrelevant.<\/p>\n

I just want to re-state what I said earlier, which is that al-Baghdadi’s death was a gigantic blow to ISIS. Moreover, I applaud the president’s decision to authorize the mission.<\/p>\n

It was huge. Then again, so was the Navy SEAL mission to kill bin Laden, who masterminded the 9\/11 attacks on New York and Washington that killed 3,000 innocent victims in both cities.<\/p>\n

Why in the world does the president of the United States choose to cheapen a monumental military victory with an idiotic boast that this take-down was bigger than an earlier one?<\/p>\n

Utterly bizarre.<\/p>\n\n
