Reports that following seizure of Mosul, ISIS has surrounded Tikrit & in midst of capturing Sharqat. Iraq forces collapsing dangerously and fleeing.

Heading south?

So much for retreat from the “war of choice”.

Maliki’s other out is to call upon his buddies in Iran for help. That will, of course, expand Iranian territory.

Erdogan in Turkey needs stringing up for this as they were gunrunning and arming ISIS over the turkish border.

Good thing our boy king pulled all the troops out because the war was over according to him. Same is going to happen in Afghanistan, but at a faster rate. What an idiot that the sheeple elected. He’s going to get a lot more people killed before we finally put an adult back in the white house.

Here's a future headline, just waiting to be unleashed:

Yup. And now they have an airport to move that missing jet into.

People are so war-weary that this won’t even bother the masses. If someone had to come up with a plan to defeat America in the middle east, a better one could not have been hatched than what the “president” has done, with the help of the Iranian Valerie Jarrett.

Nouri Malki: We ask neighbouring countries to close their borders and tighten control of flow of arms & fighters.

Too late sunshine.
