wtgISIS chief al-Baghdadi killed
We had pictures of WMD. Then it turns out we didn't.
He may be dead, he may not. Guess we'll never know for sure. edit: I think he probably is.
This is what happens when the president makes a habit of lying, or making things up. He's the guy who showed us a map that was Sharpie enhanced to show Alabama in the path of a hurricane.
People stop believing him.

wonder if the Kurds get any of that....
Apparently the mole (the one who stole the underwear) and his family have been evacuated from the area. And he gets some part, or maybe all, of the $25 million. That is if I-1 decides to pay his debts, which of course would be a first....

NinaStating the obvious, but it's a symptom of a much larger problem that this announcement was greeted with a fair amount of very justified disbelief.
As with others, I don't recall this level of skepticism and questioning after OBL was killed. This administration lies, cheats and will say anything for any self-serving reason, then recant it 5 minutes later. It's not at all surprising that people are questioning this announcement, either in full or in part. You reap what you sow.
