I read the whole article you posted. I wonder if ISIS actually killed 1,000 Iraqi soldiers yesterday? That’s a helluva battle for these two groups. We’re not looking at huge divisions here. And the Anglican priest ..begging for prayers. The most chilling thing he said. ..”they said this could never happen. .”

Soon, they'll be enjoying our multi-billion dollar Baghdad embassy.

Obama is killing us.

If Baghdad is lost, this will have exceeded the worst of the worst case scenarios, by a mile.

It’s hard to believe how quickly it’s happening. It’s heartbreaking to watch.

Bush didn’t have the guts to attack our real enemies, but I don’t blame him. The media and even the public have no stomach for total war. Had he ordered Mecca turned to glass and the Kabaa destroyed Islam would have dissolved - Insha’Allah.

I’m sure the evac/destruct plan is ready to implement upon the call of the ambassador...

Let’s hope it (call) doesn’t come at 3am...The president may be sleeping...

I’m sure certain documents, and other “sensitive” equipment has been ready to go, render useless, for some time...

You’re almost right, please allow me to help here, I have decades of experience. What you REALLY need to do is attack a sledgehammer with your toilet.

“Anyone in the Intelligence services, the military and other part of our government that loves the U.S. should question what is taking place in Iraq.”

AND, they should question what is taking place within our own government.

Too bad the faint hearts made the US military quit using NAPALM.

I doubt it.

They’re (almost) all the ‘perfumed princes’ that agree with Fearless Leader.

(I say ‘almost’ because I do have a patriotic friend at the Pentagon and he’s NOT happy.)

I am reading this now on the internet. There is a total blackout on the US media. This is beyond huge!! We have 1600 troops on the ground in Baghdad— many of them women. This could really get bad. I am convinced that the entire sunni shiite army has now collapsed in Baghdad just like Mosul. We were paying the salaries but all they wanted was the money. I predict that Iran will engage to save the hundreds of thousands in Sadr city ( shiite). This could explode real bad and quick. We need to get real or get dead. The Al Qaeda force is far larger than 30,000. One CIA estimate was 100,000. You can live in a dream until you wake up.Does your church have a militia yet?

Not sure how accurate these reports are. If IS serious about taking Baghdad there should be soon many attacks within the city by sleeper cells. Haven’t seen that yet.
