Good for the US and the Coalition, the only ones conducting air strikes on ISIS, Putin may be upset about this.

Yesterday I heard one of the talking heads on Fox bad-talk “people who poss pictures of Obama wearing a turban on the internet”.

Do you feel bad that Fox News doesn’t like you?

"Barack al Hawaii bin Obamadullah" sounds better, IMHO.:-)

I favor "young Master Sorotero" myself.

Ahh...you do realize that Iraq (whose planes hit the convoy) has now entered into a de facto coalition/aliance with Russia? They did this in the absence of effective American leadership under fearless leader Obama.

“Just seems to me that Obamugabe was avoiding ISIS and targeting Assad.”

Except, of course, when he was “accidentally” dropping arms to ISIS.

Notice how unhappily the vile, leftwing Daily Mail UK "reports" this news.

Iraq's Air Force claim to have hit a military convoy carrying the leader of Islamic State Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Iraq.

A military statement claimed the strike had taken place in the Iraqi province of Anbar but admitted it was unclear if al-Baghdadi had been killed.

It is thought Iraqi jets targeted the convoy as it was travelling for a meeting close to the Syrian border in Western Anbar today.

The location of the meeting was also targeted by the Iraqi Air Force, who claimed 'many of the group's leaders were killed and wounded'.

Attacking a convoy? Wow! Why didn't somebody think of doing this before?

If I was a highly-sought ISIS leader, I wouldn't go NEAR a convoy. I'd be sneaking around in a lone pickup truck with a cargo of melons in the back.

I don’t think so, or perhaps it’s astroturfing. Posting history is quite interesting, this from three days ago:

That POS pedophile Putin is doing nothing to hit ISIS.

To: Alas Babylon!

Oh it’s looking pretty true

Plus they hit the meeting he was headed for and took out a bunch of bad guys

Shades of “ Clear and Present Danger” ! Except they got em all

Twitter says the targeting information came from a “ detained senior member of ISIS”....

Russian interrogators must have offered hot cocoa and a prayer rug :-)

The Iraqi air force is earning the credits

????????????????????????????????

Are you confusing Putin with our (Obama’s) “allies” in Afghanistan?
