As Commander In Chief, President Trump deserves credit for green-lighting a successful mission by the U.S. military, in my opinion.
I wish he'd just take it graciously, but instead he again chose to try to one-up former President Obama and claimed the take out of Baghdadi was a bigger deal than Obama's take out of Osama Bin Laden.
I don't agree with Trump's contention; Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda killed thousands of more Americans than has Baghdadi's ISIS (and al-Qaeda did it on U.S. soil).
In any case, it's good that the founder/leader of ISIS is dead, though the terrorist group and its ideology will live on (just as Al-Qaeda has done following Bin Laden's death).
ISIS has already announced its new chief.
