Obama Administration Freed Al-Baghdadi From U.S.
Prison Camp Back In 2009 (Details) No
foresight…by John Salvatore, 10/28/19.
Due to a successful raid in Syria over the weekend, ISIS leader
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead. After being cornered by dozens of members of
America’s Special Forces, he blew himself up along with a couple of wives and
some of his own children – like a complete coward.
Abu was not rehabilitated after he was freed from a U.S. prison
camp back in 2009. He probably didn’t have any plans to magically transform
into a non-radical Muslim, either.
The Obama administration had to have known this, yet still decided
to let him go. Don’t forget, this was the same administration that swapped five
terrorists for traitor Bowe Bergdahl, too.
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 one of the few
known photographs of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the new leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq
and Syria, now known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (ISIS). 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.
“Abu Duaa was connected to the intimidation,
torture and murder of local civilians in Qaim”, says a Pentagon document. “He
would kidnap individuals or entire families, accuse them, pronounce sentence
and then publicly execute them.”
Why such a ferocious
individual was deemed fit for release in 2009 is not known. One possible
explanation is that he was one of thousands of suspected insurgents granted
amnesty as the US began its draw down in Iraq. Another, though, is that rather
like Keyser Söze, the enigmatic crime lord in the film The Usual Suspects, he
may actually be several different people.
