A U.S. drone strike totaled a car in Baghdad Wednesday killing three members of the Kataib Hezbollah terrorist group, including a top-ranking commander, officials said.
The strike was on a main street in the Mashtal neighborhood and a crowd gathered around when emergency response teams came to go through the wreckage hoping to find something of value.
A U.S. official who knows what he's talking about said that a senior Kataib Hezbollah commander was targeted in a U.S. strike on Wednesday in Iraq. The official was not authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity because with our open southern borders, you don't know who might be sneaking in and trying to take out the official.
One of the trio killed was Wissam Mohammed [there's a surprise last name] "Abu Bakr" al-Saadi. He was in charge of the Kataib Hezbollah operations in Syria, so they're going to need to replace him with another person to target with a drone.
Wissam Mohammed is survived by his 3 wives, 13 beautiful children, and 2 goats. He plans to spend the rest of his time diddling 72 brown-eyed virgins.
The U.S. embassy in Baghdad has been attacked by mortar fire on Friday morning. Minor material damage resulted in the attack but there were no U.S. casualties.
There were explosions near the embassy at around 4:15 a.m. which were confirmed by an embassy spokesperson who said, "[A]ssessments are ongoing, but there are no reported casualties on the Embassy compound."
The attack was also confirmed by a U.S. military official who said the attack was launched at U.S. and Coalition forces in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, which contains Iraqi government buildings and embassies.
A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed later that at least seven 60 mm mortar rounds landed in the U.S. Embassy compound while others fell into the river. U.S. and Iraqi officials mistakenly said at first that the projectiles were rockets.
The attack was believed to have been carried out by Iran-sponsored militias in Iraq, an embassy spokesperson said, but group immediately claimed responsibility but you can bet there were a bunch of "Allahu akbars" shouted as each mortar was fired.
"We again call on the Government of Iraq, as we have done on many occasions, to do all in its power to protect diplomatic and Coalition partner personnel and facilities," the official pleaded. "We reiterate that we reserve the right to self-defense and to protect our personnel anywhere in the world."
This was the first such attack on the U.S. Embassy since the Hamassholes started the war with Israel. Various terrorist groups have participated in the jihad since the war began.
The U.S. has about 2,500 troops stationed in Iraq and approximately 900 others in eastern Syria, operating on various missions to thwart the Islamic State group.
According to the U.S. military, there have been 78 attacks against U.S. facilities, and of these, 37 were in Iraq, and 41 in Syria. This would not have happened under former President Trump's watch, I strongly believe.
Iraq's presidential palace was breached Monday in response to a Shi'ite cleric announcing his resignation from politics to pursue a career as a standup comic at a Gaza Strip club. [He has been working on an opening line joke: "A Jewish guy walks into a mosque."]
A video appears to show U.S. Embassy employees in Baghdad being airlifted by a helicopter.
John Kirby, the empty-suit coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council, later claimed that there was no evacuation of U.S. Embassy personnel, in contrast with earlier reports.
“There’s no evacuation going on at the embassy and no indication that’s going to be required at this time,” Kirby told Democrat note-takers, [aka reporters] according to The Hill.
Concerns of unrest have grown recently, with the U.S. Embassy in Iraq releasing a statement last week urging calm among all parties.
“We are closely monitoring reports of unrest in Baghdad today at the Supreme Judicial Council,” an embassy spokesperson said.
“We urge all parties to remain calm, abstain from violence, and resolve any political differences through a peaceful process guided by the Iraqi constitution. We also call for those demonstrating to respect the proceedings and property of Iraq’s governmental institutions which belong to and serve the Iraqi people,” the spokesperson added, tongue-in-cheek.
The Iraqi government has been in controversy since October when cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s party won the most seats in the election but failed to reach the number needed to form a majority government, kind of like what happened in Canada with Trudeau. The Shi'ite leader refused to negotiate with Iran-backed Shi'ites to create a consensus government because only no good can come from that.
Al-Sadr’s supporters staged a government sit-in over the past four weeks to prevent political/religious rivals from forming an opposing coalition government. His party members have also announced their resignations, with al-Sadr joining in solidarity. "I will do comedy now," said al-Sadr.
The leaders’ statement was in response to the retirement of the Shia spiritual leader Ayatollah Kadhim al-Haeri, who counts many of al-Sadr’s supporters as followers. The Ayatollah plans to open a university in Italy calling it "Ayatollah U." It will specialize in Critical Racist Theory and chemical engineering.
On Sunday, al-Haeri announced he was stepping down and called on his followers to support Iran’s main Shi'ite leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei instead of the Shia spiritual center in Najaf, Iraq.
In response, several hundred crazed protesters breached the concrete barriers outside the palace gates and stormed the building. Iraq’s military issued a curfew and has called on protesters to leave immediately.
Some protesters have decided to stay despite the warning, with video surfacing of intruders enjoying the palace swimming pool, much like the Jan. 6 "insurrectionists," in which Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed female "insurrectionist" climbed through a window and was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer, with a questionable history regarding his use of his firearm.
Outside of the palace, other protesters ran from gunfire The Jerusalem Post reported .The gunfire was believed to be from the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) firing to stop demonstrators dead in their tracks.
Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has reportedly been evacuated as a safety precaution.
As of this posting, some outlets are reporting that the U.S. Embassy is evacuating the building via helicopter, proving just how empty John Kirby's suit really is. Also, Reuters reports that thus far, 10 people have been killed and dozens injured in clashes, and various groups are throwing rocks at each other.

No less than four rockets targeted the US embassy in Baghdad on Thursday in what is known as the Green Zone.
The rockets were launched from the Dora neighborhood and targeted the embassy. Three hit a nearby building and another hit a nearby school ABC News reported, citing two anonymous Iraqi security officials.
A woman and a young girl were injured in the strikes, but no further information was available about their conditions.
A spokesperson for the embassy told the news outlet that it had been targeted by “terrorists groups attempting to undermine Iraq’s security, sovereignty, and international relations.”
This latest attack is just one in a string of military strikes against our military as just last Thursday, a military base in Iraq that houses US troops was also targeted by rocket fire.

Iraqi Shi'ites have vowed revenge on US forces in Iraq because former President Donald Trump had a top terrorist military officer, Qasem Soleimani, blown away in 2020, along with a few of his sidekicks. The two-year death anniversary just passed us by a few days ago and we forgot to celebrate.
National Security Adviser John Bolton and his mustache requested the Pentagon provide information in the form of strategic options for a strike on Iran if it ever became necessary.
Whether President Trump was aware of the request by his national security adviser for options for a strike on Iran is not known, but it seems as if the leftist media is upset with the fact that Bolton is doing his job.
Following a September mortar attack near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that was blamed on Teheran, John Bolton requested that the Pentagon provide options for a retaliatory strike on Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
This is exactly what he should have done.
The Pentagon is said to have followed through on the order from the White House. However, according to the newspaper report, it is not clear what became of those plans and how great the chances were of such an attack taking place. It is also not totally clear, says the Journal, whether President Donald Trump was even aware of the request made by his national security adviser.
Still, Pentagon and State Department officials were said to have been shocked by the nature of the request.
“It definitely rattled people,” [particularly Iranians who later learned that the U.S. isn't going to stand by with their thumbs stuck someplace dark] a former senior administration official told the paper. “People were shocked. It was mind-boggling how cavalier they were about hitting Iran.”
It has nothing to do with "hitting Iran," it has to do with having a plan to hit them if it came to that. It's known as military readiness.
A spokesman for the National Security Council told the paper that the council “coordinates policy and provides the president with options to anticipate and respond to a variety of threats.”
The attack that reportedly prompted Bolton to seek information if retaliation became necessary involved three mortars fired into Baghdad’s sprawling diplomatic quarter, home to the U.S. Embassy.
The shells were said to have been launched by a group aligned with Iran.
The mortars landed in an open lot and no injuries were reported because fortunately, the group's mortar accuracy sucked, but Trump’s national security team conducted a series of meetings to discuss a forceful American response.
The operant word is "discuss."
Additionally, there was an air strike near a U.S. diplomatic facility in Basra, Iraq. In response, the U.S. announced it would close its consulate in Basra and relocate diplomatic personnel assigned there.
At the time, the White House blamed Shia militia groups and charged that “Iran did not act to stop these attacks by its proxies in Iraq, which it has supported with funding, training, and weapons.” The New York Times reported back then that the Trump administration was signaling a new phase in its confrontation with Iran, threatening to retaliate for attacks by Iranian-backed terrorists in Iraq, rather than doing nothing as former President Obama did when Iran kidnapped our sailors.

Beyond warning that “America will respond swiftly and decisively in defense of American lives,” the White House offered no details about how the United States would retaliate against Iran for the attacks in Iraq. Officials at the Defense Department maintained at this point in September that there were no increased military preparations. Striking back, they warned, could provoke asymmetric attacks against American military and civilians by Iranian proxies elsewhere, according to the failing New York Times, a former newspaper.
In September, days after Trump and Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani exchanged taunts and mutual "bird-flipping" at the annual opening of the United Nations General Assembly, Bolton spoke at an event elsewhere in New York and warned that “there will indeed be hell to pay” if Iran angers the United States, its allies, or harms U.S. citizens.
Finally, the United States of America has once again grown a pair. And you can bet that it puts Iran in a position that's a lot less aggressive than they were with Barry.

Baghdad -- Hundreds of terrorized black-clad terrorists from the "JV Team" had just been chased out of a northern Syrian city fleeing through the desert in long convoys and providing U.S. A-10 "Warthogs" with target practice. But the orders to bomb the jihadists didn't come and they disappeared back into their caliphate, living to fight another day. That was back in August 2016 when President Trump was not yet president. He had vowed to allow his military leadership crush ISIS that, under Obama, had grown from the "jayvee team" to the world's most feared terrorist organization. Trump told America, "I will . . . quickly and decisively bomb the hell out of ISIS." He then chose legendary USMC General James Mattis as his Secretary of Defense (SecDef) and Trump added "We will not have to listen to the politicians who are losing the war on terrorism." A year later, ISIS was kicked out of Iraq and Syria that made Obama's leadership look like a ferret driving a clown car. The speed with which it was done even surprised the top brass. Trump kept his campaign promise, something unheard of in the past. Obama's rules of engagement that helped getting Americans killed, we dumped and he allowed his generals make the military decisions rather than politicians. So while ISIS once ruled 8 million people and controlled the oil fields, refineries, agriculture, huge arsenals and smuggling routes, Trump allowed the military to win. But I disagree with the notion that we will actually get tired of winning. Now ISIS only controls 3 percent of Iraq and less than 5 percent of Syria. The "caliph," Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is believed to be injured and holed up somewhere along the border of Iraq and Syria. ISIS is still a danger--their jihadists live among civilians in the region, Europe and probably even the U.S. They will likely remain a danger for years unless we can convince those who harbor them to turn them in. Some ISIS cells are trying to regroup in the Philippines, Sinai Peninsula and Libya. But the tough job of taking back ISIS's land is largely completed. Tweet
Baghdad -- An Islamist suicide bomber killed at least 35 mourners and wounded over 60 at a funeral on Saturday, Iraqi police and hospital officials said. The suicide attack occurred in the Shaab neighborhood during lunchtime anonymous officials told the media as they weren't authorized to speak to them. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility according to its Aarnaq News Agency. Hussein Khazem, who owns a clothing warehouse in the area said the jihadist blew him- or herself up inside a funeral tent. He witnessed the dead and wounded, many cars on fire and major damage to the local market nearby. The dead included women, children and elderly people. Khazem said that these types of incidents are happening again, "especially in the poorer residential neighborhoods." The attack came at a time when Iraqi security forces prepare to retake Mosul, the second largest city, from ISIS. Iraq has experienced several bombings over the past few months but this one was one of the worst thus far. But in July, a massive car bomb in central Baghdad's popular shopping district of Karradah killed about 300 people. After this horrific incident, the minister of the interior was forced to resign.
Baghdad -- A jihadist, along with his truck bomb, drove into downtown Baghdad, screamed Allahu Akbar (Allah is greater) and blew himself up. He killed 115 people less "religious" people than he, and wounded about 200 more who were out shopping as they celebrated Eid al-Fitr, the ending of Ramadan, their Islamic holiday. ISIS claimed responsibility of the deadliest attack in months, in spite of the recent gains such as the retaking of Fallujah from them. ISIS, or the Islamic State, is composed of a group of Muslims who follow Islam to the letter. The only thing radical about them is some of the savage methods they use to kill the infidels. Infidels are considered by ISIS to be anyone, Muslims included, who do not believe the Koran's teachings and the fact of abrogation of the peaceful suras within the Koran. The truck bomb detonated just after midnight in a busy shopping area in the central Karada district. The dead include 15 children, 10 women and 6 policemen. Twelve others are still missing and are believed to be dead. Most of the dead were inside a multi-story shopping mall and amusement area. Dozens were burned to death or suffocated, police said. "It was like an earthquake," Karim Sami, a 35-year-old street vendor said. "I wrapped up my goods and was heading home when I saw a fireball with a thunderous bombing. I was so scared to go back and started to make phone calls to my friends, but none answered." It was later learned that one of his friends was killed, one was wounded and one is still missing. ISIS claimed that they were targeting Shi'ite Muslims because according to the terror group, "they don't know squat about 'real Islam' like we do and this is our way of calling them out on it." The Associated Press couldn't verify if the attack was, indeed, against the Shi'ites, but it could have been, or it could have been against the Amish, for all ISIS cares. If you're not part of the Islamic State, you deserve to die, as far as they're concerned. In another part of Baghdad, a roadside bomb exploded in the Shaab neighborhood, which is mostly Shi'ite. Five were killed and 16 wounded. While ISIS didn't claim responsibility, it's likely they're the culprits. ISIS views all Shi'ites as apostates which means they are deserving of death, like the Jews, the Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, gays and lots of etceteras.
President Obama, true to form, condemned the bombings in the strongest possible terms, causing fear and loathing within the ISIS community. He made it clear that the bombings would not be tolerated as they cause a serious level of pollution to the environment and take away the focus from gun control issues, which he holds dear to his heart.

Baghdad -- Back in March, a top dog with ISIS was driving in Syria preparing to lead his bloody band of fighters in the area when out of the sky came a drone-fired rocket that blew him to smithereens. The death of Abu Hayjaa al-Tunsi, a Tunisian Muslim jihadist, put fear in the hollow hearts of the Islamic State leaders and they realized that they likely had a spy in their midst because al-Tunsi's movements were closely guarded. The logical ISIS tactic to ensure the spy was punished was to kill anyone who might have given the U.S.-led coalition the information. So ISIS killed 38 of its own jihadists on suspicion of acting as informants. It reminds me of an old joke I heard as a teenager: Hitler is inspecting the troops. Suddenly, one of the men sneeze but Hitler didn't know which one it was. He goes up to the first man and asks, "Did you sneeze?" The reply, "No mein Fuhrer," came the reply. Hitler pulls out his Luger and shoots the soldier in the head, and casually sidesteps to the next man in line. He stares hard at the frightened soldier and asks, "Did you sneeze?" Again, "No, mein Fuhrer." And again, he shoots the second soldier then moves on to the next. Finally he asks the third soldier in line: "Did you sneeze?" The reply, "Ja, mein Fuhrer." Hitler says, "Gesundheit." Of course, with ISIS, even the third soldier would have been killed, but the shooter is still probably a big Hitler fan. ISIS leadership has killed dozens of their own in recent months as they attempt to purge spies from their ranks. Many members have fled fearing the worst from those that lead them. As a warning to would-be traitors, ISIS has displayed the dead bodies of some of the suspected spies in public--as if they needed to do that in order to scare civilians. Some of the dead were dropped into acid vats, just to show they mean business--Allah's business. Babars al-Talawy, an opposition activist in Syria and whose mother was greatly influenced by the famous cartoon bear, said that ISIS "commanders don't dare come from Iraq to Syria because they are being liquidated" by airstrikes. And the possible "spies" are being liquidated by acid. Tweet
Former Indonesian madrassa student and son to a Muslim father and step-father, President Barack Hussein Obama continues to denounce the Islamic State as "not [being] Islamic and not a state." The denouncement was triggered by an incident in Baghdad where an explosive-laden car detonated killing at least 18 real Muslims (who happened to be Shi'ite) during their pilgrimage to commemorate the death of a real and reverend Imam. Soon after the explosion, the Islamic State, composed of "fake" Sunni Muslims, claimed responsibility. Sunnis, whether real or fake ISIS dudes, see Shi'ite Muslims as apostates and thus ripe for the slaughter. They also see everyone who isn't an ISIS Muslim as ripe for the slaughter, but it's a long story. The Islamic State claimed online that the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber, but Iraqi officials denied that because they didn't want to make folks think it had anything to do with religion. You see, most people would never think of blowing themselves up unless they thought it would get them into heaven. ISIS (called "ISIL" by Mr. Obama, because he is anti-Israel and it's a slap in the face to Israel to include the Levant in the title of the terrorist group) frequently goes after Shi'ite towns and neighborhoods, targeting public spaces where they can kill the greatest number of apostates. It's how they roll. Iraqi police say the car was parked in Saydiyah, a southwestern neighborhood and detonated shortly after the noon hour, killing at least 18 and wounding 45 people who practice their religion differently than Sunnis. A load of Shi'ites have made the trek to Kadhimaiyah, in Baghdad, where the 8th Century Imam Moussa al-Kadhim is buried but not forgotten. Due to the incessant Islamic violence that is sparked by practically anything at all, security forces have blocked major roads in the capital city in anticipation of attacks against Shi'ites who generally make the journey by foot.
Another interesting Islamic holiday is the Day of Ashura, or Day of Remembrance. It is on the tenth day of Muharram on the Islamic calendar when many Shi'ite Muslims beat the Shi'ite out of themselves. They literally self-flagellate (which has nothing to do with bodily emissions) often to the point of causing serious bleeding. Pretty sick stuff. Monday's attack came after two car bombs exploded in Samawah, a southern Iraqi city, where 31 people were killed and 52 were wounded. ISIS claimed responsibility for that one too. In spite of the defeats ISIS suffered over the last year, they still control a lot of territory in Iraq's north and west. The U.S.-led coalition has destroyed some of the financial stores they kept, but it's hard to keep a terrorist from killing in the name of Allah.
The UN reports that at least 741 Iraqis were killed in April due to the violence, and that's a big decline from the previous month. In March, 1,119 were killed and 1,561 were wounded. Obama has, in effect, given a limp wrist response to ISIS by sending in only 250 troops as trainers. The only way to defeat such an enemy is to destroy them while destroying their infrastructure. Tweet
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has promised to continue his country's fight against ISIS. This comes the day after the Islamic terrorist group launched a suicide attack on a Baghdad shopping mall that killed 18 people. Al-Abadi toured the bombed mall on Tuesday and described the attack as a "desperate attempt" by ISIS after they lost control of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province. He added that his government will "spare no efforts" in expelling Islamic State forces from Iraq. According to the Daily
Mail, ISIS burned its own fighters alive for losing Ramadi and not fighting to the death. Residents of the town said the jihadists were made to group together in a circle then were set alight in Ramadi's main square. This was meant as a terrifying message to other ISIS fighters who may be called upon to fight in Mosul. Burning your own fighters alive is not usually seen as an effective recruiting tool and this isn't the first time ISIS has done this to their own. They probably will fight to the death in Mosul if they know what's good for them. Speaking of Mosul, a U.S. airstrike hit an ISIS warehouse where they allegedly have stored about their cash--the equivalent of millions of dollars in cash used to finance their operations. The exact amount is unknown, but while it may not compare to the current Powerball Lottery, it's a lot of dough. President Obama was probably thankful that no ISIS folks were hurt in the operation.
Although ISIS rakes in about $450 million a year, this is not their only source of income. If you know your Islamic scripture, you are aware that Muslims collect a tax on non-Muslims, or other Muslims who aren't "Muslim enough" because they fail to risk their earthly lives for jihad. This tax is called Zakat and according to the Financial
Times, it's approximately equivalent to the oil money they steal each year. Zakat was imposed by the so-called prophet of Islam, Mohammad. He needed money to fund his killing and required Muslims to hand over large portions of their income to give for the war efforts, which were ongoing and profitable, mostly to Mohammad. So now, after the jihadist attacks such as: the Boston Marathon bombing (4/15/2013); Moore, OK beheading of a woman by a Sharia advocate after he called for Islamic terror and posting an Islamist beheading video (9/25/2014); Chattanooga suicide attack on a recruiting center at a strip mall and naval station (7/16/2015); and San Bernadino attack where a husband and wife jihadist team shoot up a Christmas party (12/2/2015), our president is calling for stricter gun laws for law abiding citizens. Makes perfect sense . . . if you're on the side of the terrorists. For a more complete list of jihadist attacks in America, check out the Religion of
Peace website. Tweet
The Iraq military on the ground is closing in on the ISIS compound in Ramadi, a city merely 60 miles from Baghdad and considered to be extremely strategic for the coalition forces. The compound had been a government structure but has been taken over by the hardcore Muslims and the only area still under Islamic State control. There are about 100 Koran-clutching terrorists as the Iraqi forces move within a mile of their position and the going is slow in spite of the larger size coalition forces. The land is filled with landmines and IED, and the dwellings they've come across are often booby-trapped. "Our preparations to attack the government compound are still on and we are approaching step-by-step," Brig. Gen. Ahmed al-Bilawi said. He is the commander of the Anbar province emergency police division and has not received public opposition from any Iraqi "Black Lives Matter" protesters. The U.S. is leading the airstrike campaign as the Iraqis began a new push at the beginning of the week. On another happy note, U.S.-backed rebels in Syria comprised of a coalition of Syrian Kurdish, as well as Arabs and Christians, captured a major dam on the Euphrates River north of Islamic State's position. The coalition is called the Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), but I doubt that any American Democrat is among the fighters. The group seized the Tishrin Dam today which will cut off supply lines between ISIS strongholds in northern Syria. Unlike the orders given by the Obama administration, the SDF did not forewarn the scumcrumpets of ISIS that they were coming to take the dam from them, like Obama warned the ISIS oil truck drivers before we blew up their vehicles as they were on their way to juice up Assad. The dam supplies most of northern Syria with electricity which ISIS doesn't really need as they are still living in the Seventh Century. The SDF is dominated by Kurdish militia (aka People's Protection Units, aka YPG), in its fight against ISIS but we have yet to supply them directly with arms. Tweet
Baghdad--four people were killed in separate attacks in Baghdad on Saturday, police and medics told the Egypt
Independent. The first bomb was detonated near a crowded market in the Obeidi district of eastern Baghdad; two people were killed.
Another exploded in another grocery market in the Doura district in southern Baghdad. One third of Iraq is now controlled by the Islamic State and the country faces multiple security issues. Luckily for the Iraqis, the Islamic State is a "JV" team and there's nothing to worry about, especially if you're a person with your own Secret Service security detail and a presidential bunker.
The man whose plan it was to make the Islamic State grow into a world dominating force was killed by an RC plane (often referred to as a drone) in Kabul, Afghanistan on Monday. The man I am referring to was an ISIS recruiter. Also sent to their virgins were at least four additional bags of camel waste, local officials have told the Associated Press. This was the first attack on an orthodox Muslim group in Afghanistan, and it comes at a time when IS is beginning to grow in that country like a tumor in a hairy armpit.
U.S. led pin-pricks against ISIS Muslims have annoyed them but have hardly slowed them up. They have advanced further in Syria as they seized Kobani, they are now on the verge of overrunning strategic positions outside of Baghdad. "It's a good thing John Kerry told us Kobani shouldn't be thought of as strategic," one mentally impaired Democrat said, "otherwise I might be, you know, worried." The Mohammad-following, Islamic orthodox, Koran-kissing, Christian-killing, Jew-hating, bathing-impaired ISIS army are within eight miles of Baghdad and have already infiltrated the suburb of Abu Ghraib. They control the streets in this suburb and are now within a stoning and two beheadings of Baghdad International Airport's runway perimeter.
ISIS is getting closer to Baghdad--close enough to fire artillery into the city and we can now say that the siege has begun as they are taking on one of the largest military bases in Iraq.
For the first time this year, orthodox Muslims aspiring to jihad are now a major presence in Abu Ghraib on the outskirts of the capital and the last Anbar town along the way. One Iraqi soldier who remained anonymous said that ISIS, who he referred to as "Daash," controls the streets. Several hundred miles to the west ISIS pushes on into Kobane, a Syrian Kurdish city. Kurdish officials said that Turkey has not yet responded to their pleas for help against the ISIS terrorists who fervently believe in Islam in the literal sense of the writings of the Koran.
Kiss it or die
Officials have reported that ISIS has captured a large cache of weapons from the marathon runners in the Iraqi army, citing 155 mm/Howitzers as one such weapon. These artillery guns can reach Baghdad Airport and would make travel a nightmare for Iraqi soldiers with airline tickets to elsewhere. President Barack Hussein Obama said in a Tele PrompTer reading that the Islamic State is not Muslim and not a state. He obviously forgot his Indonesian Koranic training in the Madrassa. ISIS calls on Allah for strength and uses Islamic methods to kill disbelievers. It's a good thing Al Jazeera Gore doesn't use similar methods to kill the disbelievers of global warming.
