Make no mistake: we are winning the actual war part of the war against ISIS.

Haji Mutazz, ISIS’s second in command, has been killed by US special forces in a bold daytime operation in Iraq, according to NBC News. CNN has details:

[A] spokesman for the U.S. National Security Council announced [the news] Friday.

Ned Price confirmed what several U.S. officials told CNN earlier, and added that Mutazz was traveling in a car with a Islamic State media operative named Abu Abdullah when the vehicle was hit.

Price said in a written statement Mutazz was in charge of ISIS operations in Iraq and was a key military planner. The U.S. also believes Mutazz was prominently involved in directing ISIS’ financial operations. …

information about the drone strike this week is being very closely held by the government because of its sensitivity.

But one U.S. official told CNN the strike was based on “actionable intelligence,” meaning the Pentagon knew Mutazz was in a particular area at a particular time. That type of information suggests the United States has some ability to target and strike some of the most senior officials in ISIS.

    Hmm…Good shot? they have got to be running out of leaders…

    • Larry Schmitt March 25th, 2016 at 09:59

      Unfortunately they’re not running out of misguided, misinformed followers in other countries willing to blow themselves and others to bits.

      • Suzanne McFly March 25th, 2016 at 10:08

        I read a story showing the levels of poverty and unemployment for Muslims in many of the European countries and some have previous records (like to two brothers in the Belgium attacks). They look for lost souls who see this as a way to go down in history. It is exploitation at its worst.

        • Larry Schmitt March 25th, 2016 at 10:11

          Problem is, they die, but no one remembers who they are. They join the faceless, nameless crowd of deluded suicide bombers.

          • Suzanne McFly March 25th, 2016 at 10:26

            Exactly, they barely even say their names anymore so they don’t get the notoriety they were seeking. Desperation makes you look at the world differently and they die just as they lived, as unknowns.

  2. Suzanne McFly March 25th, 2016 at 09:46

    Look at President Obama, killing good ol’ patriotic boys who just want to play with their guns……./s

    • Talibandrew Breitbot March 25th, 2016 at 10:56

      … and, once that is complete, use their firearms.

  3. Obewon March 25th, 2016 at 09:48

    Another of the Obama administrations unanimous successes.

    Please check the number dialed. The ISIS operation helpdesk is no longer in service.

  4. Mike March 25th, 2016 at 09:56

    Since O has started bombing, Daesh has lost 30% of the land they held and 10k fighters…they’ve been driven out of Tikrit and Ramadi…we’re moving on Mosul and knocking on Raqqa’s door…
    This thing could be wrapped up by the end of the summer

    • Suzanne McFly March 25th, 2016 at 09:59

      But, but, but, the world doesn’t respect us because we are so weak thanks to our leader. Something doesn’t seem to make sense here, hmmmm, we need to sort this out and figure who is telling us the truth. Is it the news from around the world confirming the death of ISIS #2 with pictures or is it the republican party who continues to claim America is no longer a great country?

      • Mike March 25th, 2016 at 10:13

        The irony of a Billionaire telling us how bad we have it because of the political class he spent a lifetime buying and selling.

        • Larry Schmitt March 25th, 2016 at 10:30

          And irony on top of irony, that the goobers with no money continue to support him as if he gives a sh*t about them. His tax “plan” only gives more breaks to people in his bracket.

        • Suzanne McFly March 25th, 2016 at 10:42

          I don’t understand how this isn’t ironic to his followers, they are definitely not billionaire bankers themselves. He filed bankruptcy 4 times putting middle class workers out of a job and shafting small businesses he had contracts with. His clothing line is made in China, which it could be made here and employ American workers but he is too cheap to pay for labor. They are stupid to their own detriment it seem.

          • whatthe46 March 25th, 2016 at 12:57

            and don’t forget he imports immigrants to work in his hotels and restaurants. cheap ass bastard.

      • William March 25th, 2016 at 11:31

        Weak? Uh no. These people forget who they are dealing with.

        • Larry Schmitt March 25th, 2016 at 12:43

          Just tell them to check with Osama. Oh wait.

          • Suzanne McFly March 25th, 2016 at 16:46

            Yeah, where has that guy been? He must be with Saddam, those two have been MIA for awhile now…………./s jic

        • Suzanne McFly March 25th, 2016 at 16:45

          Obama looks like a beast with the fade lol. He looks like he can rip your heart out, then take your wife on a date.

    • William March 25th, 2016 at 11:30

      Lets hope so.

  5. William March 25th, 2016 at 11:29

    Fox news update.
    Some guy was killed we think somewhere in the middle east…maybe.
    Now back to our special report on Hillary’s e-mails and the Hitler connection.

    • Larry Schmitt March 25th, 2016 at 12:44

      And Benghazi.

    • Jimmy Fleck March 25th, 2016 at 12:49

      Nice picture from CBS to make fun of Fox.

      • Larry Schmitt March 25th, 2016 at 13:14

        It’s a CBS affiliate, not the network.

        • Jimmy Fleck March 25th, 2016 at 13:26

          http://www.wbtv.com/ is a Fox News owned station?

          • Larry Schmitt March 25th, 2016 at 13:29

            It’s owned by Raycom.

            • Jimmy Fleck March 25th, 2016 at 13:35

              I don’t get your point then. Raycom owns several TV stations but that doesn’t make them Fox News nor does it make the report pictured produced by Fox as implied by the original poster. I am sure there are thousands of actual stupid Fox News headlines that he could have used so why be lazy and get a CBS one?

              • William March 25th, 2016 at 14:06

                Just to make YOU happy. The very next time I make a Meme using one of my screen captures I will attach a disclaimer pointing out (for the benefit of those who don’t know it’s parody/snark/and humor). That it’s not an actual Fox news story.
                I’m deeply sorry to have offended your sense of media fair play.

                • Jimmy Fleck March 25th, 2016 at 14:09

                  Just seems like if you plan on making fun of Fox News that you use footage from Fox News. Kind of makes your attempt at “parody/snark/ and humor” fall flat on its face.

              • Larry Schmitt March 25th, 2016 at 14:18

                I’m just pointing out that it wasn’t the Fox News network.

    • whatthe46 March 25th, 2016 at 12:55

      “man killed to death?” LOL

  6. CHOCOL8MILK March 25th, 2016 at 12:19

    Yet Trump supporters will continue to say that we aren’t doing anything against ISIS.

  7. Mensa Member March 25th, 2016 at 13:24

    I need to turn on local AM radio to find out why this is bad.

    • arc99 March 25th, 2016 at 14:37

      Remember, the objective is to condemn President Obama no matter what he does.

      As Newt Gingrich demonstrated a few years ago, it makes no difference if the President does what they urged him to do. They will simply pivot and condemn him for doing what they said we should.

      http://thinkprogress.org/security/2011/03/23/152592/gingrich-libya-flip-flop-excuse/

      As ThinkProgress noted this morning, Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich has undergone a remarkable transformation in his views about intervening in Libya. On March 7, before President Obama acted, Gingrich said that if it were up to him, he would “exercise a no-fly zone this evening…the United States doesn’t need anybody’s permission.” Then, less than 24 hours after President Obama signed off on a no-fly zone, Gingrich accused him of “opportunism,” and this morning on the Today Show, said plainly that “I would not have intervened.”

    Looks a lot like Che

      Owes his career to Che-ney.

    Really winning is killing all ISIS and their allies. ISIS replaces their dead commanders the same day.

      bush didn’t give 10 flying fk’s about the mess he created and didn’t give a damn about catching the bastard responsible. maybe if he had we wouldn’t have an ISIS because it certainly wasn’t the Iraqi’s that were responsible for 9/11. he knew this and now the Obama Administration is cleaning up his mess. it’s not going to take mins, but at least he’s started. and he started with Bin Laden. and Hill will have to take the reigns from there to continue cleaning up the repukes mess.

    Picture on the left has those Far Away Eyes…

      there dead eyes.

      • oldfart March 25th, 2016 at 22:47

        That is not the face of a true believer
        receiving the promised virgins…
        It is the face of yet another dead man
        who willingly slaughtered thousands
        for his personal (twisted) beliefs.That sounds strangely familiar…

      • StoneyCurtisll March 26th, 2016 at 03:00

        Bingo….

        • whatthe46 March 26th, 2016 at 03:08

          my friend. thanks for keeping me company. LOL
