We Will Find You and We Will Kill You
[BREITBART] Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council in the White House, told Breitbart News exclusively that the White House intends to release the video of the successful operation conducted on Saturday morning to eliminate a top Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

''We are working diligently right now—the White House Situation Room, so WHSR, the Counterterrorism Directorate of the National Security Council, and the Defense Department—are working right now as we speak to scrub the actual footage of the munitions detonating and destroying the cave complex,'' Gorka told Breitbart News in a phone interview on Saturday after the operation. ''We're working right now to scrub that and make it available in an unclassified form so it can be briefed from the press briefing room so National Security Adviser Waltz and the president can share that.''

''To see it in real time, look, let me say this—it's as if you're in a movie but it's so much more important because it isn't a movie. It's not special effects,'' he explained. ''It's real, and American lives are being saved 11 days into the Trump administration.''

There are multiple reasons why the White House intends to release the footage publicly at a press briefing next week, Gorka said, including showing those who voted for Trump in November that their president and his administration are committed to acting quickly to keep them safe.

''We are working right now on converting the footage of the operation, of the neutralization, into a format that allows us to share it with America and the world,'' Gorka said. ''I will leave that to DOD and the White House Situation Room and the whole team responsible for that. We want the 77 million Americans [who voted for Trump] and everyone else who cares about defeating global jihadism to see what is possible in less than two weeks of a new Trump administration.''

But perhaps more importantly than that, Gorka said, the White House hopes releasing the footage will act as a deterrence to potential future hard boyz and discourage possible recruits from joining ISIS down the road.

''You can think you're safe and you can try and build a safe haven in an ungoverned part of the world like northern Somalia, but our capabilities—it's like the president said,'' Gorka said. ''You can run but you'll only die tired. We will find you, but unlike the Biden administration, we're not going to watch you around the clock for four years. We are going to kill you if you threaten American lives and that is what the president just proved this morning at 9:50 with his incredible leadership.''

Early Saturday afternoon, the president announced on social media that he had ordered a successful strike on the ''Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other hard boyz he recruited and led in Somalia.''
