‘EXQUISITELY PLANNED AND EXECUTED’: After briefing members of Congress behind closed doors on Capitol Hill yesterday, U.S. Central Command chief Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie made his way over to the Pentagon, where he provided reporters with an unclassified tick-tock of the how the U.S. raid to get Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi went down.

McKenzie, who used to appear regularly in the briefing room back when he was director of the joint staff and the Pentagon did regular briefings, described the U.S. commando raid as “exquisitely planned and executed,” in a 20-minute after-action report, complete with maps and video clips.
