Under the crossed swords???
BroncoBammy deeply saddened.
Obama is rushing to a microphone to claim credit /s
Obama had most of his two terms to see this through. Why does it happen after only one year of Trump? Maybe because ISIS was a product of Obama’s Arab Spring.
Unless other side unconditionally surrenders, always a bad idea to hold a victory parade.
Final Victory? More like cancer remission. Even one cell escapes and the tumor of the Islamic State may start growing again. And the big carcinogenic center is just south of Iraq.
***Iraq holds military parade celebrating victory over Islamic State***
i misread it! I thought it was Saddam’s victory over the Iranians back in the 1980s.
So, how long before the citizens of Iraq destabilize their country again?
Iraq has been at war with someone for most of four decades and no one there under the age of 37 has seen an official victory celebration. al-Abadi was not real popular when he came to power and this gives him great political capital.
The Iraqui’s say the fight will now be to identify and destroy individual cells.
The Associated Press and all major U.S. media have a presence in Baghdad but none of them were allowed to cover the parade.
This makes it a little harder for CNN, WAPO, etc. to spin this to an Obama victory. Hope someone there will post some pics of Iraqi’s with MAGA or Trump hats in the crowd.
Yeah but, Russia!/s
...again.
