US forces cornered al-Baghdadi, head of PISSI, and he blew himself up along with a few of his children, who he was using as hostages.

Even disregarding questions of right and wrong, I can't see the logic of using human shields against one's own suicide bomb.

The bullshitter is presenting this as a great victory. Perhaps mainstream media will say that war makes him "appear presidential", as they did for Dubya in such situations.

Alas, this is unlikely to be a significant setback for PISSI. Such organizations expect their officers to be killed, and systematically prepare replacements for them. If the bullshitter does get a boost from this, that could harm the US and the world. That harm could easily outweigh the good of doing a small setback to PISSI.
