Putin tells troops to capture al-Baghdadi alive
2015-10-08
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Russian President Vladimir Putin
...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead...
has asked his forces fighting against IS in Syria that he wants 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 group's leader, alive.

The Middle-East Panorama website reports that Putin wants the dead body of al-Baghdadi displayed in case he is killed.

The website made the announcement referring to aware sources.

Russia has been pounding IS positions in Syria claiming heavy casualties to IS Death Eaters. Russian officials say that the Arclight airstrike will continue.

"We will not only continue strikes... We will also increase their intensity." said Andrei Kartapolov from the Russian army.

Russia is also mulling to complete 150,000 soldiers in Syria in a bid to wipe out the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
.

However,
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves...
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
has condemned Russia violating its airspace to reach out to Syria to support Bashir al-Assad's regime.

"NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
has issued a stern ultimatum," Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
told a presser in Brussels.

"We cannot endure it. Some steps that we do not desire are being taken. It is not suitable for Turkey to accept them. This is also beyond the principles of NATO." He said.

A war of words has also begun between Russia and NATO over Moscow's violation of Turkish airspace and its military intervention in Syria.

#4  The Russians think US and Saudi are behind ISIS and the Saudi clerics are now calling for Jihad against the Russians to help their Sunni Brothers.

I hate everything about Saudi Arabia and their preaching of hatred. For once I am on Putin Side as the Saudis hate Christians Jews Hindus Buddhist the lot.Why are we allies with such a hateful country? They are worse than Pakistan and Iran re religious intolerance.How many Mosques in the West that Saudi bought to preach hatred and how many churches do you see in Saudi Arabia?

#3  Imagine, if you will, on one hand both Kraft's super bowl ring and Baghdadi's watch.

How do you make the trifecta?

#1  "Dead body of AL-Baghdadi displayed ..." > Shade of the USSR's Josef Stalin's public parade of captured German 6th Army Banners + Prisoners after Stalingrad + later Surrender of Nazi Germany, or North Vietnam's display of captured American Pilots.
