BAGHDAD - The suspected leader of an al-Qaida-linked militant network was captured Thursday by Iraqi military forces.
Abu Omar al-Baghdadi has been a key target for U.S. and Iraqi forces for years as the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella group of Sunni militant factions that is believed dominated by al-Qaida in Iraq.

Put him in the Comfy Chair!!
I expect Owsama to be caught or killed soon, just in time for elPresidente to say that “this almost ends our Afghanistan war” except for the oil pipeline from the caspian of course.
Glad he is now caught, and can face appropriate punishment. I suppose Guantanamo is out for questioning him, and use as an interim holding facility before his trial -- according to Obama...
Great news but gonna have to rend him to the Iraqis for questioning...
Have Susan Boyle Kiss them.
obama will bow to him then order troops to pull out of Baghdad and allow the poor miscreant his own country, Baghdadidstan.
"Pucker up!"
She’d hug and kiss members of Al Qaeda just out of personal respect...
Thank goodness the Iraqi’s captured him. If we brought him back to the States he would be out on bond and on Meet the Press by Sunday.
“In fact Abou Omar AL Baghdadi is just a spokesman of Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq and he is just an actor.”
Yes, I was of the impression Baghdadi was similar in status to our President. A very bad actor.
IIRC, and I see as I read in this article as well he was written off in the past as more of a legend, a myth if you will by authorities.
I doubt as to whether this is really all that impressive a capture. Perhaps a good show.
Also, he will be showing up at your door wearing a red shirt taking the 2010 census.If you don’t answer the questions,he’ll bring new meaning to the term “head of
household.”
Ya think that The One will order the Iraqi government not to use torture on the guy???
LOL - I like it. Doesn't sound like torture at all.
After reading the thread, I see that this guy is just a mouthpiece, but still... What has happened to Free Republic that it takes 3 hours for stories like this to get posted? I got this story around 0530 via Twitter (on my blackberry), and I kept waiting for it to show up on FR so I could get more info from people who know these players... Your thread finally appeared 3 hours later. Not knocking you, I’m sure you posted as soon as you saw it and verified that it hadn’t already been posted. I’m questioning why no one posted it sometime in the 3 hours before you did. (I can’t post threads from a blackberry.)
I always turn to FR first for news, but recently, it seems like FR is 30 min to a few hours behind other sources. What gives? I miss the old days when FR was the best source for breaking news.
How about we give him a facial, manicure, pedicure, and a hot wax treatment?
;)
Waterboarding is out... using female underwear is out...
What's left? Shaking fingers at him and saying, "Shame, shame, shame?"
Who’s your Baghdadi?
Nice catch, guys!
Not so fast. From the article:
... was captured Thursday by Iraqi military forces.
The Iraqi military forces aren't subject to Zero's executive orders on coddling enemy combatants and terrorists.
As in “Beheaded head of the Household” given to You by your friendly, Unrepentant Man-made Disaster MUSLIM PERPETRATOR in the Red Shirt Census Taker Uniform(o_O)
Specifically No Innocent Fuzzy caterpillars like all kids play with all day which was shared with this big, brave Man-made Disaster Perpetrator and Gracious Beheader of Innocent Citizens:-(
