Lebanese forces have reported capturing Saja Hamid al-Dulaimi and her son, saying it is possible that the woman is one of the wives of ISIS Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
That’s the hope at least, with Rep. Adam Schiff (D – CA) and others excited about the capture, saying if she turns out to be Baghdadi’s wife, she might be able to provide insight into whether he’s wounded, and how wounded he might be.
That’s a big if, however, as Lebanese officials concede they don’t know if the woman, one of those released by the Syrian government during a prisoner exchange with Jabhat al-Nusra, is Baghdadi’s wife, or possibly ex-wife, or possibly some Nusra member’s wife.
Indeed, the whole speculation about her being his wife seems to center on both of them being from Samarra, which Lebanese officials concede is “insufficient evidence.”
Whatever the case, officials say that they’re confident she’s somebody’s wife, and in a position of power with some jihadist faction, whether ISIS or Nusra, so her capture is still worthwhile.
NRC-Handelsblad already reports that she is not his wife.
What rot
(1) Is she being tortured?
(2) What human rights groups are now fighting for her release?
(3) Surely the mother and her boy are not terrorists or combatants in any conflict, since when has Lebanon been into such corruption?
(4) If her husband is the ruler of such a powerful nation, does this not violate diplomatic protocol and immunity in one massive way?
(5) All the diplomats in Lebanon, do they now have bodyguards on their wives and kids?
So now we stoop to torturing women, a greater fall from civilization than 2004.
The hell of it is, It doesn't matter. OBL yesterday, al Zakhari later, tomorrow Baghdadi. This is ENDLESS because we haven't the will to stop. We have become warmongers and a force of world instability — and we are fighting groups who have an intact, energized core driven by religious principles. (Unlike the West, which has had its cultural and political mores and values destroyed by nearly a century of suicidal progressivism.) Social justice warriors (they even adopt a warmongering appellation for themselves) are too busy worrying about the emporer's hurt feelings over hie daughters' thanksgiving apparel to give a crap about entire countries being torn apart.
How old is the boy and what use is being made of him by our "intelligence" agencies? Our (US) Government has previously held two little sons of Khalid Sheik Mohammed (the man whom our Government admittedly "waterboarded" 183 times in the single month of March 2003) for the purpose of extorting from KSM information our Government could not get through "harsh interrogation." [Please GOOGLE "CIA holds two Pakistani boys" for a 2003 London newspaper story spelling out that depraved, despicable story.] As an 83-year-old Korean War veteran, I have never been so ashamed of my Government. And Obama is just as bad as Bush was. President Obama should be impeached, and former President Bush should be criminally prosecuted for the felonious torturer that he surely is.
