Emboldened by its success in Syria and Iraq, al-Qaeda is widening its reach

There’s a name that you should remember: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the commander of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), whose fighters now control large swaths of Iraq.

There are few photos of al-Baghdadi, and even fewer details about his life are well-known. But as Iraq is engulfed by conflict and the country’s second largest city fell to Sunni extremists, the influence of Islamic terrorism’s newest star is set to grow.

TIME’s International Editor Bobby Ghosh explains the danger behind al-Baghdadi’s rise to power, and what that means for both Europe and the United States.

Sadly, we may soon be hearing a lot from that bunch (QUDS) of mercenaries in the near future.

Jim, I have a hard time telling the difference between Sunni terror and Shia terror.

But I'm darn glad they're killing each other this time.

What a pleasant thought! Thank you!

"killing each other"

Unfortunately lots of innocents are getting massacred too. Muslim Shiites and Christians...the few left...and others who helped the US.

Here is a YouTube video of what is going on in Iraq.
Al-Furqan Media Production Presents Clanking of the Swords

And the US supplied arms to these animals in Syria. Now look what they are doing with them.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

Meet the Most Successful Terrorist Leader [ISIS] Since Osama Bin Laden>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi should be successful, he has the full faith and credit of the Obama Crowd behind him. Obama is doing the step and fetch for the Saudis, as he has for decades since the Saudi Royal family got Obama admitted to Harvard and paid his way through law school. Obama is on the Sunni side of the equation, which is why Obama was always against GW Bush and the Iraq war.

This is why Obama bowed to kiss the King 0f Saud’s ring, it is why he will not approve the pipeline from Canada, and it is why he supplied arms and ordnance to ISIS to fight Iran in Syria and elsewhere. The ISIS job is to deliver Iraq into the Saudi sphere of influence and thereby further preserve Mecca to the House of Saud. Obama already has a OP in Iraq called ISIS. Obama will hardly help the Iranians to defend Baghdad, which is why he is thinking very hard on what he should do, the Obama rope a dope.......nothing....he is already doing it by arming and supporting ISIS secretly IMHO( Where do we think all those arms from Benghazi went?.....to ISIS).
