New ISIS video shows Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers in cages in Iraq
CNN ^ | February 22, 2015 | By Yousuf Basil and Holly Yan, CNN

(CNN)ISIS has released a new propaganda video showing what appears to be Kurdish Peshmerga fighters paraded down Iraqi streets in cages.

The video features a man saying the Peshmerga soldiers were captured by ISIS.

CNN cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video. But it shows at least 21 men in orange outfits hauled in the cages atop the beds of pickup trucks.

A man with a microphone bearing the ISIS logo interviews some of the captives, who say they are Peshmerga soldiers. Most of those interviewed say they are from Kirkuk. The prisoners, under duress, call on their fellow Peshmerga soldiers to give up their fight against ISIS.

The video also features superimposed bios for each prisoner. One captive is described as an officer for the Iraqi army.

The heavily edited footage also includes flashing clips of the recent beheadings of Christian Egyptians in Libya.

It's not clear what happened to those in the video. The last scene shows them alive.

Atta is the “Hamburg student” who met with Saddam Hussein’s intelligence agent over the plot to bomb Radio Free Europe/Iraq which is the station we used to transmit inform ation into Iraq during Saddam’s reign.

Two other 9/11 hijackers met with an Iraqi intel agent in the UAE.

Two 9/11 hijackers met with yet another Iraqi agent in Malaysia, who drove them to a meeting where the bombing of the USS Cole was planned. The USS Cole was on the way to enforce the sea embargo on Iraq when it was destroyed.
this Iraqi agent, later detained briefly by Jordan before being let loose to slip back into Iraq, had pocket litter consisting of the phone numbers and contact info of the terror cell associated with the Blind Sheikh of Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood fame.

KSM by the way was certainly not a wahabbi, he was quite secular, like a Baathist.

We aren’t bombing them. There is no videos of the bombings. No media coverage or soldiers speaking out. This is strange. Yet Obama assures the masses, he has it under control.

21... that number again. Does it mean something to them, I wonder.

Is this the same video that was out over a week ago? I surely hope they don’t have more Kurds as captives. We never heard what happened to the ones they had in cages a week or so ago but they could have been among the 40+ some executed last week...Those cages were in the back of pickup trucks. This appears to be presented as NEW but is it?

“”I don’t know. CNN had it listed as breaking news today””

This is what was reported on 2/13/15 so it has to be a different story. I think reporting agencies use Kurdish fighters and Peshmerga interchangeably so it’s difficult to know what they really mean. I just wish this country and every other one would see to it that the weapons etc., the Kurds are begging for would get through to them. Every report says the shipments have to go through the Iraqis but that was supposed to be changed months ago. Can’t we do ANYTHING right?

With our satellites, it is not hard to find Toyota pick-up trucks with machine guns, tanks, stolen Humvees in the DESERT.

Nor hard to find red jumpsuit worn by men in cages in large public demonstrations.

Like in Benghazi, I suspect we are watching these events in realtime and not doing a damn thing about them.

“”Can I send my taxes directly to Al-Sisi of Egypt?””

Better yet - can we trade “ours” for him? Good idea - he’d be much more at home OVER THERE among friends than he is here. Do they have golf courses? Probably not safe ones but that’s all the better!

I’m sure going back a few years none of us here were this cynical. We ought to be able to sue for “alienation of something”!!

I’m only an aging female but it would make sense to me to pick this slime off as it slithers through the desert. There’s absolutely no redeeming value whatsoever there and sadly, that goes for those in the WH who see and know what’s going on and are turning their backs on human beings desperately in need of help!! Heck - make that all cabinet posts...first up - our old buddy Kerry who can BS his way out of anything!

Reminds us never to count on the government for help of any kind! AS IF!

The DHS is also fighting to bring in - and protect - illegals. What's not to love, right?
