Hmmm..maybe we should have executed Bundy, we had a lot more reason too.....

edit-im not totally sure I buy the whole farmer story. He really is acting too much like someone with a lot more military training.
Obummer knows when I call my mother, were I called from, what we talked about yet he didn't know he was a terrorist? Not swallowing that either.

Now we have another (obama/Hillary) success to add.

The leader of the ISIS, the al Qaeda affiliated terrorist group that is rampaging through Sunni Iraq, was released from US custody in 2009.

What else happened in 2009?
An obscure, left wing radical from Chicago with an implacable hatred of American power became president.


From the Washington Post:

He is the “invisible jihadist,” according to Le Monde.

But the narrative solidifies in 2005, when he was captured by American forces and spent the next four years a prisoner in the Bucca Camp in southern Iraq.

It was from his time there that the first known picture of Baghdadi emerged.

And it’s also there, reports Al-Monitor, that he possibly met and trained with key al-Qaeda fighters.

He’s “the world’s most dangerous man” to Time magazine and the “the new bin Laden” to Le Monde.

Doing a bit more research, the majority of prisoners were released due to a lack of evidence against them, under a security agreement that went into effect...you guessed it, under George W Bush, on January 1st, 2009.

Not that this matters much, Since known idiot Jim Hoft (seriously, look up the phrase "dumbest man on the internet") cut out a rather important paragraph:

Quote:
“We either arrested or killed a man of that name about half a dozen times, he is like a wraith who keeps reappearing, and I am not sure where fact and fiction meet,” said Lieutenant-General Sir Graeme Lamb, a former British special forces commander who helped US efforts against al-Qaeda in Iraq. “There are those who want to promote the idea that this man is invincible, when it may actually be several people using the same nom de guerre.”
In other words, we have no clue if it's the same guy in the first place, since it seems to be a pretty popular persona, so there's no point in even attempting to assign blame at this point.

The closure was a part of the SOFA accord which would either transfer prisoners to the Iraqi government or release them based on evidennce

Quote:

CAMP VICTORY, Iraq, Sept. 17, 2009 – As the last detainee boarded a plane destined for another theater detention center today, the detainee operations mission at Camp Bucca, Iraq, officially ended.
An Air Force C-17 carrying the last group of 180 detainees lifted off from the Basra airport headed to Camp Cropper at 3:22 a.m., officials said.
“As a result of the great working relationship between the government of Iraq and Task Force 134, I’m pleased to say the Camp Bucca detention facility is now closed,†said Army Brig. Gen. David Quantock, Joint Task Force 134’s commanding general. “We’ve been working hand in hand with the government of Iraq to coordinate our detainee releases and transfers in accordance with the [U.S.-Iraq] security agreement, and that teamwork has allowed us to close the Bucca [theater internment facility].â€
Task Force 134 members have been focusing on the safe and orderly releases and transfers of detainees in accordance with the security agreement, which took effect Jan. 1. The agreement, signed in November 2008, states that detainee transfers between coalition forces and the Iraqi government must be conducted with arrest warrants or detention orders. If detainees don’t have a warrant or detention order, they must be released.

Hey, they said they wanted us out, we wanted out, so we're out.

We trained their troops, gave them US equipment...and 30,000 of their troops folded like beach chairs when about 800 thugs rolled up on them.

Funny thing, a lot of those folks dont use cell phones. Weird huh? Might have something to do with the very common refrain "Do you hear something like an aircraft?" said so often by their leadership.....

Its all part of Obama giving weapons to terrorists.........
