Because this building was quite powerful, strong. Then they went in, they blasted their way in - you’ve heard. Actually, the K-9 was hurt, went into the tunnel. By the time those things went off, they had a beautiful, big hole, and they ran in and they got everybody by surprise. May I come in?” The fact is that they blasted their way into the house and a very heavy wall, and it took them literally seconds. If you’re a normal person, you say, “Knock, knock. You know, you would think you go through the door. And they did a lot of shooting, and they did a lot of blasting, even not going through the front door. Our K-9, as they call - I call it a dog, a beautiful dog, a talented dog - was injured and brought back. It was actually - look, nobody was even hurt. We thought, for three days, this is what was going to happen. President Trump released a photo of the dog on Twitter on Monday, stating "We have declassified a picture of the wonderful dog (name not declassified) that did such a GREAT JOB in capturing and killing the Leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi!" You can read our complete in-depth coverage on the raid here, but we are elated that the brave combat K9 that was brought on that mission and supposedly injured after chasing scumbag al-Baghdadi down a dead-end tunnel where he killed himself by detonating a suicide vest is going to survive. Case in point, Saturday's raid to capture or kill one of the most despicable human beings in modern history, the leader of ISIS and the mastermind of its heinous caliphate, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. They have a long and downright impressive history that is increasingly being appreciated. They are true heroes that fight right alongside their human teammates in literally the most dangerous scenarios one can imagine. “Today, more than ever, let us remember and honor the memories of the Americans ISIS has killed, including American troops earlier this year and Americans Steven Sotloff, James Foley, Peter Kassig, and Kayla Mueller.The military's working dogs are absolutely amazing. As we have unfortunately seen with other terrorist organizations across the world facing significant loss of leadership, the end of Baghdadi will not mean the end of ISIS. “As we begin to understand what a post-Baghdadi Islamic State will look like, we must be clear that the threat of ISIS remains as urgent and grave as ever. Last night’s operation is a testament to the courage of our military who put their lives at risk every day to protect our nation, and a sobering reminder of the importance of sustained American leadership with reliable and capable partners on the ground, including the Syrian Democratic Forces and Iraqi military. “Today, we come together to congratulate our men and women in uniform who successfully executed the attack on a brutal murderer who mercilessly killed Americans, terrorized populations across the Middle East, and threatened regional peace and security. NEWARK – Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement after Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died during a military raid in Syria led by the United States:
