Now that you've met Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, please meet Mohammad Fazi just one of those great terrorists that the regime traded for ~~Sgt Bergdahl~~ who knows what. He seems like a really proud terrorist in this photo I sure hope everyone feels safer knowing this guy is now free. Duty, honor, country, physical courage, and loyalty to your brothers and sisters in arms have no place in Champ's World. Sleep well with this man running free. Thanks Champ once again for 'Catch & Rrelease' and making our world and nation safer.

#2 OOOOOOOOOOO, once again so close but yet so far.

Baghdadi is one of the youngest of Osama's inner circle.

Not to argue that it can't happen over time, but I personally don't believe he's in serious cahoots or disagreement wid post-OBL, new AQ El Supremo Ayman-the-Z-Man [Zawahiri].

#3 Al-Baghdadi the "next OBL/Osama" - that remains to be seen.

Wid a number of new AQ affiliates springing up, IMO its more likely he'll just be one of several "New Osamas"???
