Let’s send em gift cards they can redeem anywhere.
I think we’re out of traitors to trade for...
Mullah Baraq will find room for them on our military bases.
Obama’s foreign policy is just wonderful isn’t it?
Miss us yet?
At this point, I really don’t care what happens in Iraq. We gave them their chance. They screwed up. Too bad, so sad.
Assault on Samarra (Shiite holy city) was repulsed.
April 30th 1975 - North Vietnam Takes SaigonJune 10th 2014 - Al-Qaeda Takes Mosul
I am sure the Mosul banks didn't have time to export their money and the Sunni terrorists will get that bank money, and be well funded for awhile. -Tom
In less than 5 years this incompetent teleprompter reader/fundraiser and his incompetant administration has made the world a very, very dangerous place.
As long as we have a Communist Muslim in the White House and crazy leftists in every position of power, it will be FAR better to do nothing than to send in more troops to get killed.
Let the Iranians handle it.
As for the oil, Bush handed most of that over to the French and the Chinese. Let them defend it.
“The head of the Turkish mission in Mosul and 24 consulate officials have been seized, local sources say.”
Erdogan, the Calif-in-waiting, is getting paid for arming terrorists in Syria. Those are the same terrorists, ISIS, who took his people hostage!
Assad is slaughtering al qaeda and ISIS in Syria and doesn’t mind going after them with Maliki for self-preservation of both of them.
Meanwhile, the 0h0mallah regime is...monitoring the situation closely...
Tick...tock...
The Islamic state of Iraq recently over ran Mosul, Iraq’s second city, after regular army troops fled. It wasn’t bad enough that they gained all the arms and weapons on the military base that we supplied to the Iraqi army. After taking the city and government offices they began to loot all of the banks netting an estimated $429 million in American dollars, leaving them richer than small nations such as the Falkland islands. If anyone thinks that this is not going to come home to roost on us, I think that they are sadly mistaken.
Whether through intention or just sheer stupidity, this administration has now made an Al Qaeda affiliated group the best funded terror organization on the planet. As extremist Muslim insurgencies burn across the middle east, Africa and Asia, ISIS now has it’s hands on more money than Al Qaeda itself. The “War on terror” is now showing itself as an abysmal failure as we prepare to abandon Afghanistan to our enemies. The entire balance of power has been shifted in the middle east after country after country has fallen to revolutions covertly supported and funded by our own government.
Every major government that kept Al-Qaeda at bay is either out, or in transition except Iran. From Libya to Syria to Afghanistan Al-Qaeda is going to have a free reign. Karzai’s government will not stand a chance once the Taliban coupled with Al Qaeda start flooding back into the country. As each of these countries fall, more and more money is going to be channeled into terrorist groups. With this destabilization, our own government has almost made it certain that Jihad will fall on our shores. Once they are done fighting among themselves they will be turning their eyes to us. Don’t think that for one second that they have forgotten one single Sunni death caused by America.
They will now have the funding of entire countries to focus their terror on us. Here at home that will only mean more justification for DHS and NSA to restrict our rights in the name of fighting terrorists. More surveillance, more searches and more infringements. The gross irony here is that they have made and empowered these enemies for them to be in the position to attack us, and we, not them will pay the price.
That about sums it up. I wish I had something "pithy" to say, but all I can say is, this is a terrible turn of events, and potentially very dangerous. Shocking to me, but probably shouldn't be.
Not to mention the squandering of all that our soldiers worked and sacrificed for over there.
So just pinging to follow...
So, all the lives, all the wounded, all the severely injured in ways we don’t yet know and all the years have been wasted. And, we have nothing of value to show for it, not even oil.
Yeah, to be sure it's going the way they want it to.
And they just robbed a bank there for <$450M. Makes “Kelly’s Heroes” look like amateurs.
