SUN: ISIS Already Has a New Leader, But Baghdadi May Not Have Been Running the Group Anyway
A FORMER officer in Saddam Hussein’s army has taken over as the leader of ISIS after the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, it has been reported.
Abdullah Qardash – known as the Professor – is already believed to have assumed control of the day-to-day running of the jihadi group.
Baghdadi was killed when US forces swooped on his compound in northwestern Syria and he blew up self-up with a suicide vest after being cornered in a tunnel.
Donald Trump said the terror chief died "crying, whimpering and screaming and bringing three kids with him".
Qardash was reportedly appointed as Baghdadi’s successor in August, after the terror chief was wounded in an airstrike and was also suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure.

Whack-a Mole.
Belly up to the bar, boys.
Psalm 75
“5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.”
It is not whack-a-mole depending on the rate you take out the garbage.
If we take them out at a quick enough rate, the next guy in line might not want to step up.
If it take a year to whack this guy, another will step up. If we wack leaders every month, then pretty soon people will pass.
