President Donald Trump claimed that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was “whimpering and crying and screaming” right before his death, but Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Mark Milley doesn’t know where Trump got those particular details.
“I know the President had planned to talk down to the unit and unit members, but I don’t know what the source of that was,” Milley told reporters on Monday. “But I assume it was talking directly to unit members.”
“You haven’t talked to any unit members who described that to you?” a journalist asked.
“I have not talked to unit members, no, that’s correct,” Milley responded. “I’ve talked to the commanders and CENTCOM, but not down to the members.”

Sore loser. Sore winner. Despicable human being. No professional soldier told him that, but he just couldn’t help embellishing in that manner.
well if anyone would know ‘whimpering and screaming and crying’ it would be HairFuror…
It’s his ass General. He pulled it out of his ass. Just like everything else
Trump made up that detail or it was the children being dragged along with Baghdadi who were frightened and whimpering right before he blew-up himself and the children. Trump embellished the deaths of innocent children.
The feral scum Trump lies…and lies…and lies…and lies… Only thing lower are the racists, homophobes(racist “Christians”!), sexual predators, the exceeding greedy, and other filth who support him and who think his lying, racism, and sexual assaultiveness are cute and Presidential.
