According to a report in the Guardian, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi suffered life-threatening injuries during an assault between the villages of Umm al-Rous and al-Qaraan. Al-Baghdadi is no longer in control of day-to-day operations, Iraqi sources said, according to the Guardian.

“I don’t know where the hell they got their information,” a Pentagon source told The Post. “We were not even targeting Baghdadi in that strike.”

Gee I hope we didn't accidentally hit him. We might end up paying reparations or something insane like that.

It doesn’t matter, al-Baghdadi is just a figurehead.

The the evil genius mind behind ISIS was killed over a year ago, and his plan just rolls on.

This article is a MUST READ to understand the origins and operations of the Islamic State:

Well, our Pentagon are the ones who give ISIS their marching orders. They have to keep in close contact so as not to mistakenly bomb ISIS during airstrikes, right?

ISIS head was wounded

A preview of coming attractions...

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast (Revelation 13:3).

So the question is...

Did they copy the organizational structure and tactics of Obama's Chicago machine, or did Obama's team copy them?

(Especially the part about blackmailing prominent individuals, see also Squeaker of the House John "Weepy" Boner...and Senate Minority Weiner B*tch McConnell...)
