Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi addresses Muslims in Mosul

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State, emerged from the shadows to lead Friday prayers at Mosul’s Great Mosque, calling on the world’s Muslims to “obey” him as the head of the caliphate declared by the Sunni jihadist group.

What a dream and entirely possible,
excepting,

Obama would have their heads delivered to the White Hut. He would call those Americans terrorists one more time.

Me too. Oh, well, no matter, he's still target #1 and a long life is not in his future.
