'The operation was exquisitely planned and executed,' Marine Corps Gen. Ken McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, said during a press briefing at the Pentagon.

The Pentagon released the first images and videos of last week's U.S. military mission that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

"We are under no illusions that ISIS is going to go away because we killed Baghdadi. It will remain," McKenzie, who oversaw the mission, said. "They will be dangerous and we suspect that they will try some form of retribution attack and we are postured and prepared for that." "Baghdadi's death will not rid the world of terrorism or end the ongoing conflict in Syria but it will certainly send a message to those who question America's resolve and provide a warning to terrorists who think they can hide," Esper said.

"We're keeping the oil," Trump reiterated. "Remember that. I've always said that, 'Keep the oil.' We want to keep the oil," he said adding that the oil could produce a value of $45 million a month.
