Iraq crisis: the bare faced ISIS executioner who spreads terror with his open killing
Shakir Wahiyib is a feared enforcer for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham who does not cover up his face in videos of his killings
In an army full of masked, black-clad figures, he is the one man who is never shy to show his face. But for those unlucky enough to cross him, the face of Shakir Wahiyib, a feared enforcer for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, is often the last they will ever see.
The star of a series of grisly jihadist videos, including one in which three men are executed after failing his "Quranic quiz", Wahiyib is one of the few publicly-identified leaders of the shadowy jihadist group that has swept through northern Iraq.
The movement, otherwise known as ISIS, generally instructs its followers to keep their faces masked to minimise the chances of them being tracked down by the Iraqi government. But while its commander-in-chief, Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi, is even said to disguise himself while meeting fellow commanders, Wahiyib has no such reservations. Showing considerable relish for his work, he grins for the lenses of jihadi cameramen he goes on the rampage with his masked underlings.
However, the endless photo ops of him posing with machine guns and interrogating terrified prisoners is not just a matter of personal vanity. Instead, it seems to be an attempt by an otherwise anonymous organisation to graft a menacing human face onto its campaign of terror a sergeant-at-arms who is all too real, and very clearly active on the ground.

"he has even appeared in the front page of an online jihadist magazine, while his rugged looks are even said to have attracted female admirers from other Arab and Gulf countries." As well as liberal females in the United States. Word is that the females in the State Department have signed photos of him on their desks.

Remember the news story from a few months ago that spoke of some of our advanced stockpile warehouses being fond mysteriously empty? Supposedly 20,000 M16s with mags went missing. Who in the world would imagine that someone gave the guns to Sunni militants?
Also night vision, grenade launchers, lots of good stuff all mysteriously missing.
And what was Stevens doing in Benghazi?

You defeat a bully by standing up to him and beating him down.
You defeat terrorists by annihilating them. These guys cannot be negotiated with nor reasoned with. Kill them.

A crazy version of jeapordy. Wonder how Obama would do?
To: DogByte6RER
I am now really confused since they have “good guy guns” (M16s) instead of “bad guy guns” (AKs).

Wahabbis are a Sunni offshoot. Obama would ace it.
