So it sounds like he was neutralized by the Shiites. Am I happy or blue?

How do you prefer to die? To have your head chopped off or to be burned?

I’ve wondered over the years whatever happened to old Red. He was one of our top targets for awhile in 2003/04.

They’re playing it up like he was a mastermind of ISIS. I’m finding that a little hard to swallow, actually. Perhaps I underestimated the man.

“A group of security forces went and surrounded the area and those terrorists were killed. Three of them were suicide bombers and blew themselves up. Amongst the bodies was al-Douri’s,” he said.

Guess He Didn't Blow Up Real Good if they found a body.

And all of those stories subsequently went silent.

He’s never been declared dead by the US military.
