The military is saying they have disposed of Baghdadi’s remains but won’t release the video of his remains to the public:
REUTERS – U.S. authorities have disposed of the remains of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and have no plans to release photos or videos of his death at this time, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Mike Milley, said on Monday.
Al-Baghdadi detonated a suicide vest to kill himself as U.S. forces closed in on him, President Donald Trump said on Sunday. “The disposal of his remains has been done and is complete and was handled appropriately,” Milley told reporters at a Pentagon briefing.
As long as we get to see video of Baghdadi cowering in a cave or something, I’m good with not seeing his exploded remains.
In very much related news, the parents of Kayla Mueller lamented the fact that Obama wasn’t more like Trump:

Boom. You know Trump loves to hear that. And it’s true. Obama not only inadvertently helped create ISIS, he was warned that the people he was arming would form a caliphate. And then, instead of dealing with the threat then and there, he described them as a junior varsity terrorist group that could be ignored and just watched as they took over large swaths of Syria. He was a disaster.
