The white house issuing this photo showing a moment inside the situation room during the raid. Al baghdadis death is being seen as a deathly blow to isis. The president went into explicit details about abu baghdadis death. He went into the turn whimpering and screaming. He was a sick and depraved man. And now hes gone. Baghdadi was vicious and violent, and he died in a vicious and violent way as a coward, running and crying. This raid was impeccable and could only have taken place with the acknowledgment and help of certain other nations and people. I want to thank the nations of russia, turkey, syria and iraq, and i also want to thank the syrian kurds for certain support they were able to give us. All right, lets begin with cnn pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr. Barbara, a lot to dig into here.
