    Glenn Greenwald Retweeted Charlie Savage

    Exactly - most of what Obama officials, led by John Brennan (now of NBC), said in the first few days about the bin Laden killing turned out to be outright lies - self-serving myths - so we should be very skeptical of Trump WH claims until there's evidence https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/may/04/osama-bin-laden-killing-us-story-change …https://twitter.com/charlie_savage/status/1188447753061437441 …

    Regarding the cowardly crying, whimpering in the tunnel like a dog stuff, I'm reminded that in the aftermath of the bin Laden raid, US officials gilded the lily with misinformation to emasculate his image, e.g. Brennan falsely said UBL had tried to use a wife as a human shield.

        These flashy, dramatic killings of leaders of designated terror groups rarely accomplish much beyond catharsis, but Democrats who constructed Obama's reelection campaign around OBL's killing ("bin Laden dead/GM alive") will have a hard time credibly minimizing or dismissing this.

        It's genuinely fascinating watching Democrats in real time struggle to figure out what to say about this. They want to be patriotic and anti-ISIS, but also need a way to malign Trump without contradicting their gushing Obama praise over OBL: not an easy balancing act. Good luck!

        Here were the questions I posed about bin Laden's killing & my perspectives on the gruesome celebratory reactions to his snuffing out rather than capturing and trying him (Dems chanted "USA! USA!" in the DC streets). All apply to this latest killing, too:https://www.salon.com/2011/05/02/bin_laden_12/ …

        Glenn Greenwald Retweeted Zack Beauchamp (on paternity leave)

        I think this is what Dems will settle on: Obama's boasting of killing bin Laden was done with elegance, class and dignity, while Trump's was tacky, crass and unpresidential. What else do they have? It's kind of a metaphor for the general contempt for Trumphttps://twitter.com/zackbeauchamp/status/1188458124916727819 …

        Really seems that Trump’s pathological need to grandstand led him to turn a legitimate accomplishment into a PR and intelligence disaster

        The attempt to turn this ISIS killing into the latest McCarthyite round of "Trump-💞-Putin" bullshit is even more pathetic than usual. Of course he told the Russians in advance: THEY NEEDED PERMISSION TO FLY OVER THEIR AIRSPACE along with other cooperation. 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

        Exactly - just fly fighter jets over Russia without bothering to let them know in advance why you're doing it. I'm sure they wouldn't mind and nothing bad would happen from it. That he told them *in advance* proves yet again: he's a Kremlin puppet. 🇷🇺🇺🇸https://twitter.com/BounceOutMaV12/status/1188465228687822848 …

        This whole NYT/@charlie_savage article on the problematic legalities of the bin Laden raid and execution are well worth reading today. Some of the questions obviously don't apply to what Trump did with ISIS, but some do:https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/29/us/politics/obama-legal-authorization-osama-bin-laden-raid.html …
