Gone, Baghdadi, Gone

May 3rd, 2007 Posted By Pat Dollard.

baghdadi beseeching

According to the iraqi government, Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi, the head of the top Al Qaeda group in Iraq, was killed today. Now keep in mind, on March 9, the Government reported that he had been arrested in the town of Abu Ghraib. That didn’t seem to pan out. But this time reports are coming from multiple sources.

Interestingly, against the backdrop of the back to back killings of Al Qaeda’s top two, the dramatic Baghdad bombing campaign dissipated.

The importance of Al-Baghdadi’s death cannot be overstated because he was actually the glue that held together not a single Al Qaeda unit, but the country’s top umbrella group. There is some meritorious argument that Baghdadi was actually Al- Masri’s superior, as Al-Masri was considered a military operations chief, and Al-Baghdadi was the overall military/political/spiritual CEO. By heading the Islamic State of Iraq, Al-Baghdadi supervised the operations of several Al Qaeda groups. Just a week ago, Baghdadi was feverishly trying to reunite Al Qaeda with Sunni tribes that had gone over to the U.S. side.

Guess that didn’t work. It appears that he was in fact killed by Sunni militia.

According to Iraq TV station Al Iraqiya, this is Baghdadi’s dead, ugly face: dead baghdadi

Update: Al Qaeda has offered a counter-claim that its spokesman Muharib Al-Jubar was killed, but not Baghdadi.

    Out fucking standing… What a great story to wake up this fine Thursday morning.. Ooh-Rah! Kill all of those fucks. :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

  2. RockinRobin

    Hot diggidy dog!

  3. Fight4TheRight

    Pat,

    I think that Redstate’s person on the ground in Baghdad’s Green Zone is reporting that it wasn’t al-Baghdadi but in fact was Muharib Abdul Latif. Not sure if that is confirmed anywhere else.

  4. rumsfeld47

    Wow, thanks for the MOTIVATION, Pat!

    OOH-RAH! KILL! :beer:

  5. Brad W

    Just more proof provided by Pat and very few others, thank you Pat again, that not only is the surge working, the Iraqi people are behind the US, and vice versa. The Democrats and MSM are going to start changing their tune, so when we are vicotrious, they can say they were with us all along…

  6. Brad W

    Rummy saw your post earlier about hitting 3 PUs, great job! I remember just a couple weeks ago reading that you were have major problems. And the formation run? Those are great confidence builders. I think the longest formation run we had in basic was about 23 miles. Our Platoon was leading, we were just motivated all to hell and back, the Senior DI was calling cadence, and when we reached the original halfway point of 5 miles, when he started turning, we kept going straight, we turned into the biggest group of energizer bunnies ever, running and running and running.

    The open MOS, I think you will make out fine, the fact that you are going is what counts. Just make sure you get some this weekend, you are in for a long dry spell :razz: :razz: :razz: :beer: :beer:

  7. Annie

    Thanks Pat! Great News! Let’s hope our troops are given a chance to continue on like Brad W’s energizer bunnies and keep on going and going and going … until we have taken out every last one of these hatred filled warmongers! Again, thank’s for your daily updates they will continue to bring hope and comfort to many Americans who feel that patriotism in this country is a thing of the past that has been threatened by the liberals and the socialistic democratic party!

    God Bless You!

    Good news :cool:

    More good News - I am able to get to the support the troops rally this Saturday. :smile:

  9. TJ

    If we catch the next leader alive we should cut off his balls shave him naked and send him back to his buddies wearing a burka. :shock:

  10. roadking

    Awesome, hope this turns out to be for real,IraqSlogger has picture posted. Seems like the walls are tumbling down. I’m sure all the democ”RATS” will be like rats jumping ship saying they were for the surge all along…………..

  11. Steve in NC

    What the d’rats will say is that the threat of forcing our troops to pull out has caused the Iraqi’s to finally face the fact that we are leaving and that they will have to take responsibility for themselves. It is in fact their desire to end this war asap that is moving the events on the ground. Bush bumbled around for years and it was not until they were elected and made the tuff choices that we began to see progress. Brian Williams will remove Soros’ dick long enough to say this on live color tv. That is how it will be framed in the media.

    Anyone wanna take bets on it going down like this?

  12. Scotty

    its amazing that this is the only site I hear of news like this. I guess if their isnt a friendly fire incident then it isnt worthy of making the news anymore, or “negative” in regards to the war.

  13. Jerry

    Ever hear the whiny assed wusses of the world state they do not like to watch or tune into the news because it is always BAD news? Well rejoice because when I tune into Pat
    Dollard I more often than not get this huge shit eating grin on my face because the news I veiw is so BADASS! US Marines Kicking ASS! A shining light in the above the darkness of the MSM. No wish to get all the MSM coackroaches they are to run for cover!

    ps: ever get anymore of those girlyman posts, ie the breck girl, aka J edwards, delete them asap.

  14. Dbo

    You know Ive got to be honest. I didnt really feel well about the direction Iraq was headed before this whole surge thing. In fact I thought things were going quite horribly in 2006 especially. I was eager for a direction change, and with rumsfeld (the actual rumsfeld, i dont want rummy to go anywhere) gone and abizaid gone with fresh blood out there I became hopeful again.

    It seems things are going well now, and I find myself excited about the prospect of shutting the insurgency down once and for all.

    I only wish we would have had this resolve back in 2004 when I, like many marines from the initial invasion, first showed up in Al Anbar and shit hit the fan.

  15. Scotty

    Agree with you completely Jerry, Like I stated everything I hear is “anti” war or its watered down so it wont offend anyone, screw that sh*t, this site tells it like it is with no bullshit.

  16. gmoney

    You people are monsters for celebrating the death of Baghdadi.He was a real person with real feelings and emotions.He probably had little terrorist children at home.Who’s going to provide for these little terrorist kids?I can’t go along with this joke anymore….Rot in hell camel fucker!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

  17. John in PA

    Steve
    Everyone knows the Libs claim credit for all the things they DON’T do because they never really do anything.

    Yes, you are right. And any retort made will be attacked as “sour-grapes cons” or similar.

    The Libs are always the credit takers no matter what.

  18. Iacobus

    Good riddance, Al-Baghdadi. You will be missed.

    Or not.

  19. rumsfeld47

    I got some two nights ago. That’s sufficient for this shitbag poolee. I don’t need no stinkin’ chicks!

  20. PhilNBlanx

    Now if only we could nab the two biggest al qaeda operatives here at home - Reid and Pelosi…..

  27. rumsfeld47

    You know somebody’s hurtin’ when they’re all like, “No, it wasn’t that guy, it was this guy–no wait, it was that guy; yeah, I think I’ve seen him before, no he didn’t really do much around here.”

  28. Steve in NC

  30. Iacobus

    He looks like a cross between Buddha and Jabba the Hutt.

    (Coincidence? I think not.) :lol:

  31. Tom

    What, no virgins? Jesus Fucking H Christ.

  32. hegelbot

    Dbo I have to agree with you. I have been researching counter-insurgencies for the last year looking for evidence to suggest that there could be sucess in Iraq, In particular i was trying to see if any of the material facts of the Iraqi insurgency were similiar to the philipine insurection which was defeated in 1901-2. Then one bright and shiny day I learned that Gen. Petraeus had begun to implement the same stratagy that Taft used in the phillipines and that the french used in Algeria. I was even further impressed to see references to the philipine strategy in the new counter-insurgency manual. It looks like the US armed forces are winning over the Iraqis, now those of us at home have to win over the american public to avoid a fate similiar to Veitnam. Keep up the good work winning hearts and minds in Iraq and the US. Thanks for the news Pat.

  33. JJB

    thanks steve. im going to show the bastard.

  34. Pat Dollard

    I actually did a photoshop combo of George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Al Shaprton.

  35. hegelbot

    Here is a poem the Fillipino insurgents wrote about, Democratic presidential canidate and leader of the Anti-imperialist League, William Jennings Bryan during the Philippine insurection against the U.S.

    “On this day there is a struggle indeed in America: On this day is decided our life…”
    “Glory to Bryan, Glory to America, Glory to the fostering fatherland, Glory to the sons fo the nation..
    “Grief to Imperialism, grief to McKinely, Grief to the hated…
    “Mother Philippines-Blessed be thou
    “Mr. Bryan-triumphant be Thou
    “Our independence may we win thee
    “The life of Aguinaldo (insurgent leader) may it be for a thousand years
    “our army be thou great
    “By this mercy, Lord curse those who watch over us. Do so then lord all this, Lord, so be it.”

    Througout the Philippine insurection, the anti-imperialist league sent letters to the insurgents, urging them to fight on and promising a withdrawl if W.J. Bryan won the presidential election in 1900. It is even alleged the anti-imperialist league sent munitions to aid them.

    this poem reminds me of the recent rantings of a certain Shia Cleric and the Campaign promises of some current Democratic canidates.

    Fortunately Roosevelt won in 1900 which led to the disillusion of the insurgency. Lets hope we get a republican in 2008.

    The best thing you can throw in his face is this very website. Is your screen name here something he could figure out? Also, post a picture of his daughter for us as long as she is of legal age. Heh…

    The state of the embalming industry in Iraq has a LOT of room for growth…eeewwwww…

    Speaking of that dirt bag Soros. Does anyone have some links about the swine? I need some ammo.

  41. TJ

    JJB,

    hillary is a communist. on her website, in response to OIL companies huge profits she stated , as president , “I will take those profits and put them into research for alternative fuels” Hugo Chavez has been not only taking profits but entire industries. When liberals claim our money as their own , they cease to be liberal democrats and become totalitarian marxists.

    She is a great threat to democracy and freedom and will likely ally herself with our enemies like her husband had tried to do. :evil:

  42. starkc

    Okay, I dunno about Bhagdadi or Masri (who we prolly got but havn’t proved it yet) but I did hear (and the DoD and MNFI confirmed) that there is a DNA analysis that says we DID get the #2 Al-Qaeda dude in Iraq, Latif al-Jubouri. Which is excellant because he is supposedly one of their tippy-top propaganda experts.

  43. Blastdad

    I love stories with happy endings

  44. Brad W

    Pat, we all appreciate you keeping a line out there for all of us to get the truth. I have to admit, this is one ugly MFer. Looks like someone shaved Bill clinton’s ass and taught him to walk backards….

    Whover this was, whether it was the number 1 man or 2, 3 wahtever, the Iraqi people are turning the tide, victory is on the way, it may take awhile longer but as long as we can hold off the unwashed masses of barbarians (liberal democrats) here on the home front, our military will be able to accomplish what needs done.

    GMoney, if Rod Serling shows up around you, run :lol:

    Rummy is right on the money, those bastards are hurting, and it shows in the fact they have the American MSM doing their political and news spins on the identity, and that this is hardly even being told to the people via the MSM.

    BTW, Soros will burn in hell right beside his buddies Reid, Pelosi, Clinton, Murtha, Hussein, et cet.
