Never ever attribute to stupidity, that which can adequately be explained by malice.
The FBI “most wanted” mugshot shows a tough, swarthy figure, his hair in a jailbird crew-cut. The $10 million price on his head, meanwhile, suggests that whoever released him from US custody four years ago may now be regretting it.
Taken during his years as a detainee at the US-run Camp Bucca in southern Iraq, this is the only known photograph of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the new leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq and Syria. But while he may lack the photogenic qualities of his hero, Osama bin Laden, he is fast becoming the new poster-boy for the global jihadist movement. […]
Why such a ferocious individual was deemed fit for release in 2009 is not known.

“…Why such a ferocious individual was deemed fit for release in 2009 is not known. …”
I sure don’t know. But when President Obama reads about it in the papers he’ll be as surprised and angry about it as we are. And I’m sure he won’t rest until we get to the bottom of this and folks are held to account.
NBC News files a report, lamenting the loss of American lives, mentioning the thousands of injuries, and showing what is occurring today.
I suppose if you’ve got cable or satellite you’ve seen the coverage, this is Youtube.. posted at http://www.theospark.net

He won’t be surprised or unhappy. Sharia law is coming to Iraq. His heart soars for allah.
How many Nations has he turned now? Besides giving free trade with those nations that voluntary for it like Brunei?
Yet people still think this guy is just ignorant, not a Jihad sleeper.
I know people don’t want to be told they where suckered but the facts speak for themselves.
What the real crime here is all those lives lost& 67,000 wounded for Nothing. Just like watching Vietnam or Cambodia all over. With probably the same results . Mass extermination with Religious genocide of any but the fanatics beliefs. As this Nation burns I know the tune Obama plays on his fiddle. After all the head honcho of this group was let go by Obama in 2009.

At Pamela Geller’s site she’s using the photo from the last helicopter leaving the US Embassy during the fall of Saigon, 1975
“As Baghdad falls and decapitated heads line the roads of Mosul ….. Obama tells young Americans, “The world is less violent than it has ever been.”

Everything B. Hussien says is a lie. Everything he touches breaks. Everything he does is wrong. He is the anti-President.
It should be very interesting when the Obama-5 get back into action. Everything is playing out just as Onumbnuts planned. Seems like it’s time for Omuslim to concentrate his efforts on the Cloward Piven strategy at “home”. What a world.
He’s flooding the zone everywhere. Abroad & at home. Even the Antichrist couldn’t sow this much destruction.
“Sharia law is coming to Iraq.”
Iraq was already a Sharia Law based Islamic Republic, Afghanistan is also, courtesy of Uncle Sam.
This is going to put a pinch on oil supplies to Europe, to Russia’s benefit.
1. Oklahoma GOP candidate: Stoning gays the ‘right’ thing to do
Scott Esk, a Republican candidate for the Oklahoma state house, endorsed stoning gay people to death last year in a comment thread on Facebook.
In published screenshots from TheMooreDaily.com, a local news site in Oklahoma, Esk was discussing a story about the Pope in July of 2013 when he left a comment quoting Leviticus 20:13 from the New American Standard Bible which reads:
If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
In the back and forth comments that followed, Esk was asked by another Facebook user, “So, just to be clear, you think we should execute homosexuals (presumably by stoning)?”
“I think we would be totally in the right to do it,“ Scott Esk replies. “That goes against some parts of libertarianism, I realize, and I’m largely libertarian, but ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.”

2. Republican candidate Fuqua endorses death penalty for rebellious children
“The maintenance of civil order in society rests on the foundation of family discipline. Therefore, a child who disrespects his parents must be permanently removed from society in a way that gives an example to all other children of the importance of respect for parents. The death penalty for rebellioius children is not something to be taken lightly. The guidelines for administering the death penalty to rebellious children are given in Deut 21:18-21:”
Excerpt from book, “God’s Law: The Only Political Solution” by Republican legislator Charlie Fuqua, running again for legislature with financial support from the Arkansas Republican Party and U.S. Reps. Tim Griffin and Steve Womack

Sarah was right. Let Allah sort it out.
Iran now going into Iraq. Sunni’s versus the Shia’s
Too bad this didn’t happen 10 years ago
There seems to be a big disconnect with this news from Iraq. The Shittes are over 60% of the population. The Sunnis are about 25%. At the time the USA pulled out it was feared that the Sunnis would be exterminated. Now they are winning the country back?
I expect the Kurds are smiling as they solidify their control over the oil fields in their area and slightly to the south. They must be buying and storing weapons on a huge scale as eventually whoever controls Bagdad will come after them as well.
I must conclude that it is the Saudis who are financing and encouraging the Sunni rebels in Syria and Iraq. It is their history to deflect radical Islam from their own country in this way. Perhaps a ‘darker’ perspective is that the leadership of Saudi Arabia is not ideologically separate from radical Islam and that this is a much larger government backed effort. 9/11 was masterminded and conducted by Saudis and yet that country got a ‘pass’ from any responsibility.
Saddam Hussein was passed as a apolitical Bathist but came from a Sunni background. At the end he was praying like all others. IMHO the USA backed the wrong dog in this fight. Iran is the better ally, strategically and morally. If
the Shah had handled things better things might have been different. Iran has never invaded any neighbours nor has it exported radical Islam. This all the work of Saudi backed Sunnis.
More and more, I see Obama as the Charlie Manson President. Helter Skelter!
The new dude isn’t a poster boy, he is the birdie on the camera to distract you from the Islam part. Darned religion hijacker.
Yeah? Hezbollah……
Iranian rockets on an Iranian freighter headed to Gaza (Hamas)….
Iranian Quds forces in Syria….
And on and on….
