Obama Takes Out Top Al Qaeda Leaders Major Blow

Obama's intelligence network takes out two major Al Qaeda leaders in Iraq.

Quote

The deaths of Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi deal "a potentially devastating blow" to the terrorist group, the U.S. military said.

"The death of these terrorists is potentially the most significant blow to al Qaeda in Iraq since the beginning of the insurgency," the commander of U.S. Forces-Iraq, Gen. Raymond Odierno, said in a news release.

In an exclusive interview with CNN, Odierno said it would be "very difficult" for the al Qaeda network to replace the two men.

The two were killed in a Sunday morning strike that "broke al Qaeda's backbone," Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said.

Al-Masri, a native of Egypt, was military leader of al Qaeda in Iraq. Al-Baghdadi was leader of the Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella group that includes al Qaeda in Iraq. The U.S. military said al-Baghdadi held the title "Prince of the Faithful."

"Obama's intelligence network"? wtf? I didn't know that Obama ran intelligence operations.

Nonetheless, great work by the real analysts and officers.

Intelligence operatives were careful to not let the Obama administration learn of this operation until it was successful. Better to give them plausible deniability in case it failed rather than risk them cutting it off too early.

This attempted capture is no different than the capture of Abu Zubaydah in 2008.

It's all George Bush's fault. Obama is following his Doctrine. :):)
