re: Wait so let me get this straight about al Baghdadi

quote:

Our special forces raided al Baghdadi’s compound, and he blew himself up. But THEN we bombed the compound, cratering it and leaving no trace. But al Baghdadi’s remains were also somehow recovered and later buried at sea?

After he blew himself up there's no reason to think the special forces in the compound didn't have time to scoop his remains into a to-go bag before leaving. After they left they blew it the frick up so it couldn't be re-used.
