While US authorities noted the airstrikes on a 10-vehicle convoy near Mosul, they could not confirm the identity of those killed.

John McCain could have took him out.

Rumor has it McCain was singing like a Canary to his Captors at the infamous Hanoi Hilton.

So I think it was more par for the course, than mistaken identity.

Sky News here reported last night that several senior IS commanders were killed or injured. Here’s hoping.

Quick, quick....change the subject!

Let’s pretend B. Hussein Obama is a great national security demigod, leading the charge against the mighty ISIS!

The media will comply, dutifully licking the Democrat boots and pretending this matters.

You know, just like when Al Qaeda folded up after Osama was eliminated. Oh, wait....

Snort...

Political motivations notwithstanding, it's always good to hear about one of these knuckle-dragging goat humpers getting fragged. Once he does his dirt nap, we can fire up an oldie but a goodie:

Wow, he got critically wounded *again*?!? Don’t sit next to his ass at dinner, particularly at these weddings we keep bombing.

Identifying the SEAL who shot bin Laden, thus reminding everyone what a big strong leader we have, and just before the election, didn’t have the desired impact.

This latest critical injury story is just damage control, with the added kicker of justifying the withdrawal of the US from the fight against ISIS (US participation was minimal anyway, just some cover-his-ass by Zero, again, to have an impact on the election).

It’s always a leader and never some foot soldier.

Who cares? These people are terrorists, not Patton. Terrorists by nature are decentralized and leadership is distributed. This is really no big deal. Not cutting off any dragon heads.

Is this the third or fourth time he supposedly has been seriously wounded or in a body bag?

Maybe Obama can bring him to a U.S. hospital for treatment. He has to be compassionate to the Muzzie.

“U.S. CAN’T CONFIRM IF ISIS LEADER ABU BAKR AL-BAGHDADI THERE”

One thing about Zero Hedge: They are leftist liars.

If you have any examples, then please show them.

I have been following for some time now, and I do not see it.

Maybe he's out of the loop on some of the decisions.

Baghdad Barry is completely out of the loop on this. He's too busy sulking and pouting about the keester-whooping he got on Tuesday for anything else. Somebody near the inside in Mosul (Kurds? Mossad?) IDed Baghdadi and was able to get word to our guys and they just let'er rip. There was "no time" to get Washington involved so that there could be 48 hours of hand-wringing about the decision.

Al-Arabiya is reporting that “tribal sources” confirm that Baghdadi was “critically wounded.”
