Vice President Pence on Sunday morning called Saturday, when ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in a raid in northern Syria, a “great day for America” and said the outcome was a testament to President Trump’s “decisiveness.”
“It’s a tribute to the courage of our armed forces, special forces that executed the raid on the compound last night, but it’s also a tribute to the decisiveness of President Donald Trump,” Pence said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
Pence told CBS’s Margaret Brennan that the White House received intelligence indicating a “high probability” that al-Baghdadi was in the compound in Idlib province, where officials said he was ultimately killed after detonating a suicide vest.
“It was Saturday morning that we received the actionable intelligence that allowed the decision that the president had made to move forward to happen, and it was incredible to be in the Situation Room and to see this unfold in real time,” Pence said.
“All the credit goes here to the decisiveness of this commander in chief and the courage and professionalism” of special operations forces, he added.

Not the Kurds? Not CIA?
Well, at least Pence gave credit to our military. Trump thanked Russia first.
Too bad Pence is now shilling for Trump. “Decisiveness,” my left foot.
I hate to tell Pence, but all his loyalty to Trump may not earn him the vice president slot next year.
