Flashback: What’s Happened Since President Obama Released the Head of ISIS 5 Years Ago
Independent Journal Review ^ | August 23, 2014 | Jennifer Van Laar

Posted on 08/24/2014 7:36:36 AM PDT by george76

In June, we learned that the head of ISIS, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, had been in US custody but was released in 2009 when President Obama closed down Camp Bucca in preparation for the US withdrawal of troops (yes, the withdrawal he repeatedly denies having anything to do with) from Iraq.

...

Abu Duaa was connected to the intimidation, torture and murder of local civilians in Qaim,’ according to a 2005 U.S. intelligence report. He would kidnap individuals or entire families, accuse them, pronounce sentence and then publicly execute them

...

ISIS’ acts of unmatched evil include burying women and children alive, multiple beheadings, tying a woman to two different cars and splitting her in two, crucifixion, and rape.

It’s time we learn the lesson that cold-blooded murderers who deliberately target innocent civilians do not abide by the same civilized rules as the rest of the world. When the U.S. captures and releases a hardened terrorist, he will simply come back another day, even more highly motivated to commit ruthless acts of vengeance.

crucifixion, and rape.

It's like the press is waking up now that one of their own was beheaded...

Now, if ONLY a gang of "unarmed black teenagers - gentle giants' plays the knockout game on a group of journalists...

The treasonous US Congress approves each crime, each day,
every day, it parties, whores, gets drunk
and PROFITS from Laws it imposes on others,
while the EXEMPT US Congress remains .... EXEMPT.

Eternity will record that the US Congress did NOTHING,
from the release of the COLE Bombers through the
importing of the Boston terrorists and the Tuberculosis
importation of 2014.

Chicago A Top Terror Target; Ominous Tweet Connects ISIS Threat In City
August 22, 2014 9:01 AM
John Dodge

CHICAGO (CBS) — Over the past six years, Chicago has become a top potential target for international terrorists, a top security expert said Friday, making the posting of a veiled threat by Islamic radicals on Twitter a higher cause for concern.

“Many terror organizations refer to Chicago as Obama Town,” said CBS 2 security expert Ross Rice, a former FBI agent in Chicago. Under President Obama, the U.S. took out Osama bin Laden, and used repeated drone strikes to weaken terror networks.

In the meantime, the U.S. government on Friday issued a security bulletin to all U.S. law enforcement in light of the overall threat posed by Islamic State, commonly known as ISIS or ISIL.

The ominous post on Twitter, purportedly from somebody connected with Islamic State, shows a photo of the Old Republic Building, 307 N. Michigan Ave., in Chicago and the White House.

The text reads:

#AmessagefromISIStoUS
We are in your state
We are in your cities
We are in your streets

You are our goals anywhere.

If it had happened under Bush, you would read and hear all the time: it’s Bush’s fault.

Obama has so much blood on his hands...but there he is on the golf course laughing.

He must not have a conscience.

"Now, if ONLY a gang of "unarmed black teenagers - gentle giants' plays the knockout game on a group of journalists... "

News crews in Oakland have been robbed in several instances. Not sure the suspect's were gentle giants like Brown, but there hasn't been much national outrage. (Article from August 2013)

"Several news media workers have been robbed in Oakland in recent months, some in the middle of the day.

In November, a KPIX news cameraman was punched and robbed during a live broadcast outside a high school. Viewers saw the picture being jarred and turned sideways."

We need to behead the terrorists. For every one Americans beheaded, we behead 6. (Unless it is Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid or the Obamas, then we would say thank you
