Baghdadi was being holed up. you can see the special forces. very unusual for the pentagon to release this type of video. they must have believed that they had all the intelligence that they needed cleared out of the way to release it and show people what happened. >> yeah, al-baghdadi ran into a hole and decided to be a coward and not fight back. im glad hes gone. the president deserves credit for it. youre 100% right that this sets up a contrast. the white house is focused on defending the cou...

Having some problems with the way the president presented the news of al-baghdadis death, it was about him as opposed to that specific team that did such a great job, and to the kurdish forces that gave us the intelligence that accompanied us. i appreciate katies point about the interpreters, people that helped us. danas point about the fact that we should be grateful to those people helping us conduct such operations. again, its fine if you want to put it out but im saying be careful. social me...

>> it does put things in perspective. >> greg: quite a contrast when you see the media and the impeachment proceeding. it reminds you what is important, what matters. >> jessie: what do you think of the department of defense putting out a video like this several days after the raid? >> dana: america needs to be an is invested in the war on terror. this is a global war on terror. i think its very good to remind people why were fighting, the kinds of people that were fighting and how we do it and ...

When you show them losing. for the longest team, i dont know when it started, 2013, 2014, we watch unabated horrific videos and people joining isis because there was no response. we couldnt show them anything. so i think its -- when we started watching isis getting humiliated and giving up, thats when the recruitsment died. the more you see them die, the better it is for the world. >> jessie: and they said that gitmo is a recruiting tool and its still open and less isis. barack obama telling peo...

Same way that al qaeda survived the death of osama bin laden. >> yeah. erin, way nt to let our viewers know what youre seeing right now is that video we have been awaiting, it is of the aftermath, that location, that safe house there in northwestern ear i cant where this strike took place. erin, some details are trickling out. have you heard that he may have died as a result of a suicide vest being detonated, whether or not that was something that he personally detonated or in exchange in a fire...

The turkish border. its not the safest place for al baghdadi to have been. there are other groups that operate there that are closer to al qaeda and that ever no love loss for isis. in fact, there are groups operating there that actively look out for and kill isis fighters. so the fact that baghdadi chose to be there suggests a level of desperation, it also suggests he was perhaps trying to get somewhere else. we heard earlier in the hour richard engel point out that that particular location is ...

Dead after a u.s. military operation last night in northwestern syria. we are awaiting some new video of the aftermath of the u.s. special forces operation which targeted a suspected isis safe house, u.s. helicopters, jets and drones all were deployed. officials believe that the isis leader abu bakr al baghdadi is among the dead. erin mclaughlin is joining me from turkey just across that border from syria. what are you hearing from your vantage point? >> reporter: well, alex, everything were hea...

Hierarch hierarchal, and isis is one of them, where the fighters take on a decentralized kind of structure, its really not as effective in bringing an end to the group when you decompass tate the leader. >> what was it like being a woman under deep cover? horrible things could happen to you as a woman. was it easier to get information? how did you do all of that? >> one of the things that is exciting in the intelligence woman at the moment is seeing more and more women take on leadership roles. ...

Called on the fact that nobody knew anything about his background and kind of twisted that to make it mysterious and and appealing and kind this invisible sheikh moniker. we have seen that time and again. zarqawi had all kinds of questionable issues about his mother and was not very stable or well respected in the community before reinventing himself as the leader of al qaeda in iraq, which is really isiss precursor. so whether or not there is somebody else waiting in the wings who will reinvent...

The people who give the money to some degree give it because he is in charge. whoever the new leader is will have to build that credibility with donors as well as with recruits coming in. however, its worth pointing out that a decapitation doesnt always necessarily mean the less guy will be less effective. weve seen with al baghdadi himself when his predecessor was killed there was a hope that this would be a big blow to isis, instead we got al baghdadi who was, in anything, worse than his prede...
