I can't wait for Osama Bin Laden is captured. That will be the day that we can finally stuff it in the dems faces. Until that day, we will always be fighting a battle with them.

Iraqiya Reports al-Baghdadi Captured
Qaeda Chief Arrested in Raid Near Abu Ghraib
Posted 0 hr. 30 min. ago
Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, emir of the Islamic State of Iraq, has reportedly been arrested near Abu Ghraib in western Baghdad, according to an Iraqi military spokesman.
Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said, "One of the terrorists who was arrested with him confessed that the one in our hands is al-Baghdadi."
AP has reported that they confirmed Baghdadi's arrest with a prominent Iraqi Shiite who is close to Maliki.
The US military has yet to confirm the account. It is unknown if Iraqi or US forces had conducted the alleged raid.
Other rumors of al-Baghdadi's capture have surfaced over the past week, but this would be the first time that an Iraqi official has used his name on the record to make the claim.

The captive or the Congressman? In some districts it may help garner votes....
I wonder how long he has been in custody....there have been rumors he was bagged several days ago..
Meanwhile DemocRATS are trying to figure out if there latest "cut and run" proposal starts in March 2008 or August 18, 1980! Now doesn't that instill confidence. WTF is wrong with these RATS????
A prominent Iraqi Shiite close to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki also said al-Baghdadi had been captured. But he spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not supposed to release the information.

yes sir, we would like two dozen women's panties delivered before Friday....
WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!
We'd better let him go so he can get his people together. The Left wants us to negotiate with the terrorists as we pull out.
With these guys, who knows.
Here is another report:
Al-Baghdadi, also known as Abu Abdullah Rashid al-Baghdadi, has been identified in statements posted on Islamic extremist Web sites as the head of the Islamic State, which was proclaimed last year after the death of the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Allah at Hot Air points out:
Khalid al-Mashhadani. Why’s that significant? Because according to Nibras Kazimi (http://talismangate.blogspot.com/2007/03/more-on-abu-omar-al-baghdadis-alleged.html) , Iraq’s Speaker of Parliament and Vice President are both members of the al-Mashhadani tribe. Have they known all along? And what happens if it turns out they have?

I greatly hope that it is true this time and we got the SOB terrorist. We need to wait for the US military to confirm and hopefully we will get their confirmation very soon.
