At least 30 dead as bombs grip Baghdad, ISIS militants take Iraq army camp

BAGHDAD – Militants with the Islamic State group on Monday claimed control of a key military training camp in Anbar province -- which Iraqi officials called a "tactical retreat" -- as a spate of deadly bombings shook Baghdad, hitting mostly Shiite neighborhoods and leaving at least 30 dead.

Meanwhile, a source tells Fox News that ISIS fighters hold nearly 50 percent of the Syria border town of Kobani, which has been the focus of fierce fighting between ISIS and Kurdish forces, backed up by US-led coalition airstrikes. The fall of Kobani would be a major victory for the Islamic State, and would raise new concerns that the Sunni militant group is making gains despite U.S.-led coalition airstrikes.

This really worries me. This group is crazy and we have the idiot in chief sitting up there along with all the clowns he surrounds himself with, being a Gomer! We have 2 years left of this POS. I hope & pray that this election in 3 weeks turns the tide.

In three weeks, Obastard will still be the CiC. Nothing is going to change. He is a pussy of a president and the whole world knows it.

Or obola will just tell our people to leave, to dangerous and all and give it to isis. I think that is the plan.

ISIS will not be stopped until the Shiites open up a 55-gallon drum of whoopass on all Sunnis.

Wow.... it sure looks like Obama’s laser like focus is keeping these workplace violence types contained.

ISIS is an analogy of the Ebola virus now ravaging Syria and Iraq. Like Ebola, it is spread with the least of infection points, it is deadly, and it respects no boundaries.

And the spread of both is exacerbated by the inattention given each by the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut, in the territory once known as “the United States of America”.

The eventual cure for both will follow about the same lines. Many, many unnecessary deaths, finally the threat is contained, and the source of reinfection has to be thoroughly sanitized with powerful agents. The Kurdish Peshmerga would be the equivalent to the ZMAPP serum in this control of the ISIS.

The plan is to wipe out the Kurds first. With that fierce band removed, there will be few limitations on ISIS to continue their rape and pillage of all whom they consider to be “inferior” people.

ISIS is genuinely afraid of the Kurds. The most effective thing we could do right away is to recognize the nation of Kurdistan, and equip them with military arms at least as well as we have been supporting Egypt for years.

So it would drive a cork up the Turks’ rectal orifice. Frankly, do we care about the good opinion of the Turks at the moment?

Wait til we see American GI-Joes and GI-Janes being beheaded on camera. Baghdad may well fall—the Ambassidor will skip out but the Marines will face an Alamo like battle. The No Boots on the Ground has doomed Iraq. Obama has doomed them due to his fantasy land approach to the middle East—America will be tangled with Ebola—wait til we lose 40% of the Troops we send to West Africa. Those that comeback will spread the sickness. All because of Obama! Hope your happy Oprah! He’s the ONE all right—the one to screw and humilate America and break our back.

ISIS / ISIL is Sunni Muslim Brotherhood like Obama. He enabled them to do what they’ve done and he does NOT wish to stop them. The moves he is making in the mideast are against Syria Pres Assad - the GOOD guy (compared to ).

The jihadist devils have been a mile from Bagdad for over a week. They already have a lot of USA equipment. How many US troops in Iraq now? 4,000? Im not sure - we are not told the truth anyway.

Angry? who me?

Prayers for those 4,000 Troopers. They are going to need it. I hope it doesn't become a Custer's Last Stand. Very bad situation, very bad under this POTUS.

Most Iraqis are coward, but then again, they never truly had freedom.

I’m totally stunned we are in his position. Transformation never meant destruction to me. Save our troop at all costs. Collateral damage be damned.

I personally think the area would make a nice glass parking lot. Nuke them and collateral damage be damned.
