These are the only two known photos of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He is seen here on the left as a prisoner half a decade ago and on the right more recently as the shadowy head of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIL, also known as ISIS

'nuff read.. here is a modest proposal.

All we are saying is
give piece a chance

The war. We should release all the Islamists that we hold now! One piece at a time.

Then send the family members to the ISIS scum. One piece at a time.

Soviets Offer 'How-to' Lesson 1986 and Muslims had kidnapped four Soviets

the KGB castrated a relative of a prominent Muslim leader and sent the severed organs to the Muslim, with advice that they knew of his other relatives. The remaining three Soviets were freed immediately.

Give piece a chance. Seriously.

I was born a little before W.W. II. I recall a generation of Americans who stubbornly held fast to the idea of winning a war.

FYI
Lefties and O’Reilly claim differently.

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/jun/19/jeanine-pirro/foxs-pirro-obama-set-isis-leader-free-2009/

If memory serves me correctly, Politifact is run by former editors of the Miami Herald and the Washington Post.

Our ruling

Pirro said that Obama released the current head of ISIS from government custody in 2009. The Defense Department said that the man now known as Baghdadi was released in 2004. The evidence that Baghdadi was still in custody in 2009 appears to be the recollection of an Army colonel who said Baghdadi’s “face is very familiar.”

Even if the colonel is right, Baghdadi was not set free; he was handed over to the Iraqis who released him some time later. But more important, the legal contract between the United States and Iraq that guaranteed that the United States would give up custody of virtually every detainee was signed during the Bush administration. It would have required an extraordinary effort to have held on to Baghdadi and there is no evidence that he was on anyone’s radar screen, assuming that he was in custody at all in 2009.

The U.S.-Iraq agreement drove the release of thousands of detainees in 2009, but Obama had nothing to do with that.

We rate the claim False.

My guess, a political Obama Hack responded to Politifact, since they would know who to ask to get the response they wanted. From the above paragraphs, Abu was held by the Iraqis, may be could be, possibly. Who the hell knows? Our government has no clue.

It is unclear why the U.S. let the merciless al Qaeda leader slip away...

It's clear.

For the same reason that Democrats preside over the release of thousands of dangerous criminals from prisons in the US.

As Eric Holder put it, "They are my people".
