US citizen captured by peshmerga

| March 14, 2016

Khweis Mohammed Jamal

Reuters reports that an American citizen fighting for ISIS was surrounded and captured by peshmerga forces in Iraq. They say that he has an American driver’s license in the name of Khweis Mohammed Jamal and that he speaks English and broken Arabic, but that he was dressed in black.

[Two Kurdish officers, one of whom arrested him]said it appeared the man was intending to escape both Islamic State and Kurdish forces but handed himself in after peshmerga fighters opened fire on him near the frontline in the village of Golat.

Captain Daham Khalaf said they had spotted the fighter hiding in long grass around dawn and waited until the sun rose before surrounding him: “He shouted ‘I am a foreigner’,” Khalaf said, describing him as bearded and dressed in black.

I guess he wasn’t having a good time with the boys of ISIS and his intention was to escape from the group. I suppose man-love Thursdays were a real pain in the ass. Peshmerga say that they fed him and then turned him over to intelligence folks in the neighborhood.

The New York Times says that the 27-year-old was born in Virginia. The Kurdish news says that he went to Syria two months ago and that he was trying to get to Turkey when he got disoriented and ended up in Kurdistan.

Turned him over to intelligence folks

If he thought man-love Thursday was uncomfortable…he might be in for a wee bit of a shock about how his next Q&A turns out.

Too bad they didn’t shoot his ass.

Skippy

He is a registered democrat he has nothing to worry about
in fact Obama is getting his awards ready

Combat Historian

Yo mutherfucker, ran out of Yazidi women to rape and behead? I hope the Kurds gut you open and feed your entrails to the pigs…

Green Thumb

Word.

Just leave him with the Kurds.

Problem solved.

Silentium Est Aureum

Oh, that poor stupid bastard.

‘I suppose man-love Thursdays were a real pain in the ass.’ – JL

Eloquent, as always.

STSC(SW/SS)

What happened, did they run out of goats.

My, My, My

Perhaps he was trying to get back to vote in the primary.

ChipNASA

Let me know when he endorses Hillary.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

He might be feeling the “Bern”…..regardless of who he endorses.

QM1

Maybe his parents will make an appearance at the Rose Garden, with a Serial season to follow.

Trent

Disoriented? Right. Give him back to the Peshmerga when the interrogation is done. He better not be brought back here.

dana1371

Sure bring him back here. The he and Berghdahl can share accommodations in the newly rennovated Club Gitmo.

David

As soon as I saw he wound up in the wrong country I realized they have 2nd Lieutenants too.

AW1Ed

Pesh? Oh hell no. Give him back to ISIS.

Chad

Nice pic…a shit bag with handles.

A Proud Infidel®™

Further proof that shit can sprout limbs and walk around, – Fa’ kheem!!!

Perry Gaskill

A wild guess says the black clothing is not because Jamal is a Johnny Cash fan…

Veritas Omnia Vincit

He heard the train a coming…

UpNorth

The he fell into a burnin’ ring of fire.

nbcguy54ACTUAL

I’ll donate an orange jumpsuit and a lighter…

A Proud Infidel®™

COUNT ME IN for donating the first 5 gallons of gasoline!!

SFC D

This may be suitable for the occasion

AskaMarine

He heard them chanting/singing “A Boy Name Sue…”

Roger in Republic

Sounds like his mama used a Jihadi Random Name Generator to come up with that handle. I wonder if his mother can read Arabic, because that’s the way the Kurds will write his name on the grave marker. If he gets a marker. If he even gets a grave.

B Woodman

Oh, he’ll get a grave. A shallow hole in the sand out in the desert. ANd no marker, no burial rites. As API said, “Fa’kheem!”

2/17 Air Cav

Well, there’s a problem. The State Department is now involved and since oBaMa has not ordered that Kiwi/Kiwanis/Whatever be executed, he may survive. If oBaMa had a son…

B Woodman

“Relatives!”
“Damn!”

(h/t Second Hand Lions)

OWB

He apparently wanted to fight for them, just not die for them. Amazing.

Don’t really care if he had a US DL, since they give those out to anybody these days. Is he really a US citizen, with a US passport, registered for the US draft, paying in state tuition rates and stuff like that?

CC Senor

According to an item over at Hot Air this morning, Muhammad Jamal Amin is a Virginia-born American citizen of a Palestinian father and Iraqi mother from Mosul.

FA’ Kheem anyway, next we’ll hear his Momma yelling “OOOOOH, he nodo noffeeng, he no do noffeeng!…”

Stacy0311

“He was trying to turn his life around. He was going to the mosque daily. The mosque doesn’t preach jihad….”

HMC Ret

Remove any fingers he may use for firing a weapon and return him to ISIS. Dumb turd. Can’t these dumbasses see past the moment and see what their future holds?

“he went to Syria two months ago and that he was trying to get to Turkey when he got disoriented and ended up in Kurdistan.”

If nothing else, he now holds the record for worst land nav score ever.

A Proud Infidel®™

A Worse navigator then a one-eyed lobotomozed 2LT on LSD!

Instinct

So, basically Bernathian levels of navigation skills?

A Proud Infidel®™

Obviously he navigates as well as Bernath checks a fuel tank.

2/17 Air Cav

His land navigation problems are worse than we thought. He told his family that he was on a European vacation, according to TV News 4. Sure, and those picture postcards from Vienna, Iraq had them convinced. On the plus side, his father did spray reporters with a garden hose, which I found endearing.

nbcguy54ACTUAL

Shouldn’t this be “former” US citizen?

As soon as he took up arms with our enemy he lost his citizenship. Let the ragheads keep him…

Unfortunately, unless we have copies of any oath he took to a foreign nation, stripping him of his citizenship will be legally problematic. Further, since he’s native-born vice naturalized, in the past the SCOTUS unfortunately has held that a native-born US citizen in general cannot be stripped of US citizenship unless they voluntarily renounce same. (The same does not hold true for naturalized citizens.)

Bottom line: since he’s native-born, it looks like there’s a damn good chance he is in fact still our problem.

Cpl/Major Mike

Hopefully the Kurds will kill him before the state dept can get the piece of shit back to him mama and daddy.

FatCircles0311

He should be at the end of a nose in a week. War crimes. Get r done!

AskaMarine

Uh, he left the US, but he was still carrying his American Driver’s License?

Twist

It was in case the ISIS MP’s pulled him over in his Toyota Hilux.

Hack Stone

Those Road Masters can be a real bitch.

1SG, US Army (retired)

Needs it for the rental car… LOL

HMC Ret

He doesn’t look happy in that picture. Maybe his present circumstances aren’t as nice as he had in Mommy’s basement. Like, you know, a cot, a microwave and his big screen TV. And Mommy probably does his laundry. Lowlife turd, whatever he gets he deserves. Someone over there is almost certainly going to send him on his journey to all those virgins.

NR Pax

Surprise! He’s going to be one of the virgins.

Hack Stone

Maybe he had a hungry heart, since he took a wrong turn and he just kept going.

Atkron

I think as he was being flown home; a sudden decompression caused by some sort of airframe failure would solve the problem.

In other words a push out of the back of the aircraft at 35,000′ should suffice. He might wake back up under 10,000′ in order to see the ground moving toward him at terminal velocity.

19D2OR4-Smitty

Is it too much to hope that the Pesh will ‘lose’ him in a hole in the desert and also ‘lose’ a round of ammunition in the process?

1SG, US Army (retired)

I’m sorry, but this dirt-bag needs to be blindfolded, driven out into the middle of nowhere at 0-dark thirty and kicked out of the back of a truck. String a pigs nose, ears and tail together and hang around his goat smelling neck just for the hell of it.

Maybe, ISIS will welcome him back with open arms!

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
