Before President Donald Trump's press conference on Sunday confirming the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi, former National Intelligence Director James Clapper appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" to discuss what he was hoping to hear the president say. One of the biggest things Clapper was interested in was seeing "the contributions the intelligence community made" that lead to al-Baghdadi's death. He admitted "taking down" al-Baghdadi has "huge symbolic meaning," especially because he has been a target for quite some time.

Now they'll really hate us, I guess.
Face it, Clapper, you should be consoling your buddy Brennan, His side lost this one.

Ahhh, yes . . . the old appeasement argument. Peace at all costs is not peace at all!

This guy was the Director of National Intelligence...amazing. Al-Baghdadi isn't the first, and he won't be the last.

If Trump said today is Sunday, Clapper would disagree violently and Shifty Schiff would Mabel it an impeachable offense.

Yeah, he may have something here, y'know.
Using logic like this, we should have brought Adolph back
here after the Big War and sent him to Yale. Too late.
Where was Clapper when we needed him back then?

So Clapper thinks you should not make your enemy angry? They are already angry and dead set on killing us. They are the demonstrated cult of death and destruction.

Sounds good. They are "galvanized" into coming out of their rat holes and we can bomb them to meet Allah.
Clapper, as usual, is a pathetic moron. Hope you have a nice chat with Dunham, James.

Did Clapper say the same when Bin Laden was killed under Obama’s watch?No!

Translation: We can't fight our enemy because it might make him mad. This mentality during the Obama administration is why the world was in such sorry shape during and at the end of the Administration. It is however the typical Democrat mentality.

In similar circumstances what would James Clapper have done, killed al Baghdadi, or worried about unforeseen future circumstances that Islamist terrorists might or would take in what they claim is their response to al Baghdadi’s demise? Remember Clapper is now a liberal media talking head who must continuously make controversial anti-Trump comments, whether true or false, to keep his media job.
There is no doubt that President Trump is a man of action who always puts America first when the opportunity arises and gets things done, not like the DC UniParty politicians and Deep State bureaucrats who get nothing done, if it is not in their individual political or bureaucratic interest.

Clapper, headed toward his own time in the negative spotlight, shouts “look…a squirrel!”

Right now, they're probably desperately looking for other places to hide since the U.S. has all kinds of information about their whereabouts.

Americans should be worried that Clapper is still walking around a free man.

WE do not need to be worried; we are finally in very good hands with our POTUS. YOU however should be very worried about your future since it is becoming more and more doubtful that it will be a good, peaceful one. If all goes well you'll be on a slow boat to Gitmo quite soon.
I am no longer interested in what this ugly Gollum look-alike has to say. In fact I never believed anything that came out of his mouth.

Liberals are trying to pretend they dont see what coming for them next november but it's clear they know exactly whats coming. The more they realize they are doomed the crazier they are going get.

WE should be worried? The message to ISIS was pretty clear. WE will never stop hunting you down no matter how clever and devoted and blessed you think you may be or how often you move about or where in the world you go. WE are not alone. WE are the civilized world and like a powerful antibiotic WE will drive your deranged cult to extinction like gonorrhea.

I don't think any human could survive the galvinization process. With hot dip galvinizing, the subject would be submerged in a tank of molten zinc. Then there's electrogalvinizing in which the ISIS member would be subjected to electrical current to cause a thin layer of zinc to adhere to its' surface. Either way, the ISIS member would not survive, but they wouldn't rust afterwards.

Clapper, who's probably going to inherit the nickname 'Songbird' in the near future, unless he doesn't survive his scheduled suicide!

Of course Clapper is probably a supporter of ISIS so this warped thinking is no surprise.

Finally came out of your cave to discover that there is a new POTUS and a new approach, Jimmy? You’re so last decade. Scram.

Clapper is on his eternal chase for relevance. Memo to Jim the Clap: This doesn't cut it. Go home and bone up on your testimony.
