al-Baghdadi was held at US Prison Camp Bucca Until Obama White House Agreed to Let Him Go

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was once held by the US in Camp Bucca Iraq.

But the Obama administration shut down the Bucca prison camp and released its prisoners, including al-Baghdadi in 2009.

The Telegraph reported:

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…

…Well-organised and utterly ruthless, the ex-preacher is the driving force behind al-Qaeda’s resurgence throughout Syria and Iraq, putting it at the forefront of the war to topple President Bashar al-Assad and starting a fresh campaign of mayhem against the Western-backed government in Baghdad.

On Tuesday, his forces achieved their biggest coup in Iraq to date, seizing control of government buildings in Mosul, the country’s third biggest city. Coming on top of similar operations in January that planted the black jihadi flag in the towns of Fallujah and Ramadi, it gives al-Qaeda control of large swathes of the north and west of the country, and poses the biggest security crisis since the US pull-out two years ago…

…“This guy was a Salafi (a follower of a fundamentalist brand of Islam), and Saddam’s regime would have kept a close eye on him,” said Dr Michael Knights, an Iraq expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

“He was also in Camp Bucca for several years, which suggests he was already considered a serious threat when he went in there.”

US intelligence reports from 2005 describe him as al-Qaeda’s point man in Qaim, a fly-blown town in Iraq’s western desert.

“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.

Guy was total scum. Raped and tortured women prisoners, ordered captives burned to death, had homosexuals throw off roofs to their deaths.

When you know the history of this barbarian, the fawning puff pieces in the Fake News about him are sickening.

Camp Bucca served as a place where jihadis could meet and network in complete safety. For years.

What? Another move by the Obama adminstration that advanced the cause of radical Islam? Was there any move, ANY, that actually did a thing to block the advance or radical Islam? I can't think of any but I can list lots that helped it (Iran getting pallets of untraceable cash, Obama supporting the Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Egypt, etc)

It's almost as if it was on purpose.

The founders were absolutely correct to restrict the office to only natural born citizens, some one who was born ONLY an American with NO other nationality or citizenship.
They were specifically excluding the children of foreign nationals who are foreign nationals themselves even when they are born here.

Obama was born a British subject/Kenyan national and later added Indonesian citizenship.
We would know he used that Indonesian passport in adulthood if John Brennan had not eliminated all the documents and people that would prove embossing to the usurper before the 2008 election.

1 blew one direction and the other blew another direction.

Obama’s “JV terrorist group, ISIS.”

Obama remains rather silent whenever ISIS and al-bagdadi are the subject.

That’s Islam.
He was just following the instructions and example of his prophet.

Well, they don’t have Fidel and Che Guevara anymore, so they go looking for people like this murdering scum to admire.

BO gets to sit on his ass with more money than he could ever spend, smoking weed and playing video games all day.

We should be really pissed off about this.
