Obama authorizes the U.S. military to target the head of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
2014-09-13
[NYDAILYNEWS] As part of his expanded campaign against the Islamic State, President B.O. has authorized the U.S. military to target His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
, the driving force behind the violent bad boy group, it was reported Thursday.

Until now, restrictions imposed by the President prevented the military from going after the group's leaders.

But the limits were lifted as part of Obama's new offensive against the group, also known as ISIS, the Washington Post reported.

#8  Let's have orange juice, white toast, go ahead and add Baghdadi to the big hit list, shrivvled eggs, no pork...here it is, chicken sausage, the fruit, and try for a one oclock tee time.

Wait. Executive decision. two oclock, that should make me just late enough to grab a cheesesteak at nineteen before coming home.

I'm Awesome.

#7  It would have lasted a year longer (and 10 million Japanese dead of starvation) if the admiral had lived. How much longer would the War in the Pacific had lasted if the Japanese Imperial hard boys had succeeded in supplanting Hirohito after the first two nukes were dropped? I think, a year or two longer and 10 million starved, unless those same hard boys had made a point of killing all the POWs they could -- in which case I think it would have motivated the US to repeatedly nuke the home islands to glowing green glass, no matter how long it would have taken, nor how costly it would have been.

#5  What took so long?

He should have been a target from the time he made his little speech in Mosul...you know his little Rolex moment.

#3  Exactly correct. Operation Vengeance took out Admiral Yamamoto, but the war in the Pacific continued for another two years.

#1  He's at Sparks Steak House on East 46th Street every Friday night. Arrives about 7:00 pm, table #14, always orders the Porterhouse, medium rare with baked. I recommend out front, a curb hit. The restaurant will be packed.
