What Will Trump Administration Do If U.S. Catches ISIS Leader Baghdadi?
The Daily Beast ^ | March 11,2017 | John Batchelor

Posted on 03/13/2017 3:47:46 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Speaking recently with Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian Gorka, I learned there is room to entertain the possibility that al-Badri, if located, may well fall into the hands of the US and its allies in the region, such as the Kurdish forces known as the YPG.

“Do we want al-Badri alive?” I asked.

“Unlike the Obama administration, we’re not going to second guess the theater commanders,” Gorka explained. “We’re not going to have the eight thousand mile screwdriver that literally was the last eight years. We will leave those decisions to how you effectively neutralize an HVT, a high value target, to the people who are there on the front line.”

Gorka then posited out loud about al-Badri in captivity, using the analogy of the nine-year pursuit and US-sanctioned killing of the surrounded Al Qaeda chieftain Osama Bin Laden in 2011.

“If I had my druthers, I’ve always said, in the last 16 years, it would have been superlative to have had Osama Bin Laden in an orange jumpsuit in the dock in a federal court. Not just from the treasure trove of intelligence that could have been gleaned from him from interrogations, but simply the psychological warfare aspect. The great leader of the global jihad is standing in a dock shackled to his waist by a chain. So that’s just my druthers.”

I agree with this measure and have corresponded with several of my colleagues, such as the Johns Hopkins historian Michael Vlahos, about the historical models for how an empire can manage a condemned outlaw and his followers.

The Spartacus rebellion in the Gladiator War was answered by Rome with the spectacular ruthlessness of crucifying six thousand of the defeated slave army long the Appian Way. Spartacus himself was never found.

My solution involves fire ants and honey, but I’d want to make sure that somebody read him his rights first.

Dead or alive, wash the carcass in lard and through it into a pigsty filled with starved 1000 pound hogs.

How about an extensive “conversation” with Mossad?

What if we bag the Big Bad Baghdadi of Baghdad? Is that what I’m reading?

Hold him in the field and waterboard for verifiable intelligence.

It might take a couple of weeks and several iterations of stop points, but once his stories verify one must shoot him in the forehead with a .45.

Does the cruel and unusual punishment part of the Constitution apply to foreign enemies?

I’d get creative.

I’d have him dismembered small piece by small piece and fed to pigs over a period of several years. I’d live stream it on a pay-per-view website and give the proceeds to the families of ISIS victims.

I’d bury his remains and the remains of the slaughtered pigs and their feces in the center of a public garden with a monument erected explaining how Baghdadi had been converted into a pig and pig feces.

I’d have several Imams issue a decree, ruling, or whatever they do, saying that according to the dictates of the Koran, Baghdadi’s soul is in hell.

Then I’d erect a large outhouse above the grave so that freedom-loving people could come defecate on his remains.

Just an idea.

Rinse. Repeat. Results guaranteed.

This is a no-brainer. Give him to Kurdish fighters for safekeeping.

Mossad and most Israeli intelligence services are dominated by Leftist kooks.

Treat him exactly as we did Nazi war criminals. Hang them. All captured in the ISIS area should be held in large ourdoor pens and sorted through slowly and carefully.

Hundreds or even thousands should be hanged. The ones who escape should face a 75 year manhunt and be brought to justice wherever they are found.
And Islam should be treated like Nazism...eradicated and banned in all public life.

We could test drive some of our new enhanced interrogation techniques.
