Donald Trump explains why he didn't inform House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in advance of US military raid on Al-Baghdadi.

US president Donald Trump has revealed he didn't inform House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or chairman of House intelligence committee, Adam Schiff, of his plans to attack ISIS leader Al Baghdadi in his Syria home.

On Sunday, Pelosi, who last month launched an impeachment inquiry on the US president, claimed Trump told the Russian government of plans to kill Baghdadi but didn't inform her or her colleagues, while Adam Schiff appeared on ABC network to reveal he wasn't told of plans to risk US military lives on foreign soil but he acknowledged Baghdadi's death is a win for America and the world.

It is customary for US presidents to inform congressional leaders before using US military power on foreign soil, but Trump has revealed he didn't inform them because he didn't want to harm US soldiers if the operation is leaked out to the media. According to Trump, Washington is now the home of media leaks, and he wanted to be sure that US military had left the ground after killing Baghdadi before informing congressional leaders.

"No, I didn't do that,' Trump said when a reporter Monday queried if he had shared plans of the raid with the House Speaker before it was carried out. I wanted to make sure this was kept secret. I didn't want to have men lost, and women. I don't want to have people lost,' the president added, claiming he told no one outside the circle of those involved in approving and organizing the operation.

In the early hours of Sunday morning –– U.S. Special Operations carried out a mission in Syria that resulted in the death of al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. Al-Baghdadi while being pursued by military dogs, detonated his suicide vest, killing himself and three of his children, when he was cornered by U.S. forces at his village.

Trump in a photo of the situation room posted online was flanked by National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, Vice President Mike Pence, Trump, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and the Joint Chiefs of Staff U.S. Army General Mark Milley and Brig. General Marcus Evans while the Baghdadi operation occured.

"We have notified some, others are being notified now as I speak,' Trump told the room of reporters. 'We were going to notify them last night but we decided not to do that because Washington leaks like I've never seen before. There is no country in the world that leaks like we do. And Washington is a leaking machine and I told my people, we will not notify them until the – our great people are out. Not just in, but out,' Trump asserted.

'I don't want to have them greeted with fire power like you wouldn't believe. So we were able to get in and it was top secret. It was kept, there were no leaks or no nothing. The only people that knew were the few people I dealt with.'

Trump also admitted he took permission from Russia to use their airspace but he never let them know the specifics but Adam Schiff said that letting Democrats and Republicans in congress aware of such an attack is necessary incase something goes wrong or the Russians double-cross the US.

Russia treated us great, they opened up. We had to fly over certain Russia areas – Russia-held areas. Russia was great. Iraq was excellent. We really had great cooperation, and you have to understand, they didn't know what we were doing and where we were going exactly,' Trump said. 'But the ISIS fighters are hated as much by Russia and some of these other countries as they are by us.'

'We spoke to the Russians; we told them, 'We're coming in.' And they said, 'Thank you for telling us.' They were very good,' Trump said

"Had this escalated, had something gone wrong, had we gotten into a fire fight with the Russians, it's to the administration's advantage to be able to say, 'We informed Congress we were going in, they were aware of the risks, we at least gave them the chance to provide feedback. That wasn't done here. I think that's a mistake,' Schiff said to ABC news.

We should desist from recycling this Amerikan-engineered lies because it will do us no good.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has come out to debunk Trump's blatant lies.

Russian MoD doubts Trump’s announcement of killing ISIS chief al-Baghdadi, rejects claims it assisted US forces in op

There’s no credible data to prove a successful American raid took place against Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Russia’s Defense Ministry said. The US coalition didn’t even carry out any airstrikes in Idlib recently.

Trump is a braindead lunatic & an attention-seeking baboon.

Remember when Amerika launched her useless Tomahawk cruise-missiles into Syria and Trump came out & said on Twitter "Good Job, All the missiles hit their targets"?

The whole world almost believed him until the Russian Ministry of Defense debunked his stupid lies - by posting videos of the Syrian S-200 Defense System intercepting about 95% of the useless Tomahawk missiles.

Ask yourself, what was the purpose of killing Al-Bagdadi or El-Bagdadi or whatever? I mean why now?

Trump - The Orange Baboon has an election coming up, and he wants to be seen as kingkong (taking out some “bad guys”.) - inorder to win over his gullible citizens & secure their votes.

Aren't you even intrigued by the news that a DNA test was conducted immediately on Al-bagdadi to ascertain his identity?

Apparently, the Amerikan military now has a new magical DNA tester that you can hold out in the open just outside a helicopter hovering over the rubble under which the remains of Al-Baghdadi & his sons lie in pieces, and the tester can do the analysis in a split-second - telling you straight away which DNA fragments belong to Al-Baghdadi and which to his sons.

You don’t even have to be trained to be able to interpret the results because the software inside the DNA tester does all that for you.

And just in case you're wondering where they got his reference DNA from; Ofcourse, it was gotten from under the pillow or mattress of Mr. President inside the White House - where it has been kept since when Al-Bagdadi was first recruited.

I sympathize in advance with anybody who believes whatever useless information that Amerika dishes out.

You can google the name "Shimon Elliot" or "Tim Osman".

You can never ever trust these Amerikan bastards. They've been stealing Syrian Crude Oil & protecting the Terrorists while feeding their gullible citizens at home fake news through the MSM.

This happened just few days ago.

US keeps its military presence in Syria to rob Syrian people - Russian diplomat

Pentagon said on Thursday the US was sending additional forces to northeastern Syria to protect oil fields from Islamic State militants after President Donald Trump pledged the US would not let militants regain control over oil fields that were to stay under its own control.

Meanwhile, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Saturday the United States was indulging in smuggling Syrian oil to other countries. He said the convoys were guarded by US private military companies and special operations forces and oil extraction equipment had been supplied to the site by leading Western corporations in bypassing of all US sanctions.

According to Konashenkov, the contract for transporting oil was executed by the US-controlled company Sadcub set up under the so-called autonomous administration of eastern Syria. Under the ministry’s estimates, the cost of one barrel of oil smuggled from Syria is $38, so monthly revenues of such "private business" exceeds $30 mln.

This statement is coming straight out from the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Who would you rather believe? Amerika or Russia? Saddam Hussein's "Weapon of Mass Destruction" lies and Assad Chemical attacks are still ringing & vibrating in my head.

Where are all the assholes regurgitating the Amerikan age-long propaganda that she's the world's largest producer of oil?

Can you now see where & how your cursed Amerika is getting her oil production?

Do not forget to add the revenue she's earning from her opium trade & poppy fields in Afghanistan - which, ofcourse she is securing for "Freedom and Democracy."

The United Snakes of Amerika is a plundering machine & rogue state that must be brought to her knees with coordinated attacks from all directions, otherwise her destabilization projects will go unabated.

Peace will only come to the Middle East and the rest of the world when all governments of the world stand up and loudly reject Amerikan criminal behaviour on this small planet we live on.
