The self-styled "caliph" of the brutal terrorist Islamic State (ISIS) Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is suffering from spinal injuries so critical that he may never lead ISIS again.
In fact, he may already have been declared "clinically dead," according to rumors reported by Iran's state FARS news agency, the Jerusalem Post notes.
Al-Baghdadi, the so-called "Invisible Sheik," who is said to wear a mask while addressing his followers, was injured in a U.S. bombing raid at al-Baaj west of Mosul on March 18, The Guardian reports, and is being treated in his hideout near Mosul by two doctors.
Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren, while confirming an air assault, said, "There was nothing to indicate that Baghdadi had been wounded or killed. There's nothing to indicate that there's been a change," the Christian Post reported.
The Guardian reports "three sources close to ISIS have confirmed that Baghdadi's wounds could mean he will never again lead the organization."
Al-Baghdadi first assumed leadership over ISIS in 2010 and, in 2013, the former al-Qaida terrorist, who claims to be a direct descendent of the prophet Muhammad and who has a $10 million price on his head for information leading to his death or capture, broke with al-Qaida.

Clinically dead works for me. :-)
Since so many of those swarthy ragheads look the same (yes, I said it!) it’s childs’ play for one of them to have an army of “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi” stand-ins.
Saddam Hussein had them. It’s the theory of many counterjihad writers that there never was a real person named “prophet” Mohammed, that it was a composite creation invented by those who assembled the various scattered writings into what became known as the “holy” Koran.
So we have videos of a snarling teethbared muzzie all in black vowing death to “infidels”. All wrapped up in one invincible “caliph”.
Hard to believe. But then, so is Islam.
If he’s brain dead, then he is just like any other Democrat.
Obama accidentally did some actual damage?
So you're saying there's no downside?
