Military Coup Rocks Iraq
Pundit Press ^ | 8/10/2014 | by Thomas Ferdousi

Iraq’s parliament just chose a new President who refused to rename Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki to a third term. Maliki declared the move unconstitutional and his own State of Law Party pulled support from him. Now his forces are seizing government buildings in Iraq, have closed the airport, and are surrounding the Green Zone.

The only point is ISIS is winning the hearts of minds of those who want to bring about a Caliphate, and that is supposed to be Iran’s domain.

Every “radical” Islamist is of course for the “one-state solution” as they prove over and over again. After all, Obama addressed the “Muslim world” in Cairo back in 2009, which meant he recognized (and recognizes) the Caliphate as legitmate.

This is why ISIS is going to win in Iraq eventually unless someone else steps up and stops them

ISIS is going to win because they will do what it takes to achieve victory....world opinion be damned.....and unfortunately the world is too cowardly to destroy them.

Iran taking the whole thing means easier support for/from their buddies in Turkey, don’t forget. They have a desire for the whole area; the Islamic Republic is not a reasonable entity.

“We’re leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq…” Barack Obama, in a speech at Fort Bragg, NC on December 14, 2011

I wonder how many in our sycophantic US Mainstream media will have the courage to call Obama out for this????

This is Obama’s “Mission accomplished!” moment.

Just leave him and the Mooche in Martha’s Vineyard. Bring the hardware home from there and let’s just pretend he never existed, which based on information prior to 2008, he kinda didn’t.

This is why there never will be a caliphate. Constant strong men and their tribes overthrowing governments.

It is a pipe dream and always will be.

I don’t think that FOX keeps a news team on standby for these things on the weekends. When it comes to breaking news on the weekend FOX seems to offer nothing but a running banner and reruns of Chis Wallace and Huckster. CNN is better with breaking news, which is embarrassing.
