Iraq’s Parliament Speaker Usama al-Nujaifi has called on the US to intervene in Iraq, adding that he has also discussed the crisis with the automous Kurdish Regional Government president Masoud Barzani, who said he was willing to offer troops to fight off the rebels.

After capturing Mosul’s airport and a number of helicopters, ISIL rebels proceded to free 1,440 prisoners from the Badush prison. They are now believed to be marching towards the city of Salahuddin.

Considering the region and the location.....this could explode.

U got all the players....Al Qaeda, ISIS, Free Syria Militia, Kurds, Turks and even Iran.

Can U say powder keg?

it’s breaking news in many ways....lol

What’s happening thousands of miles away in Iraq should shake every capital across the world. Passivity is not an option anymore. We should have finished the job ruthlessly when we had the chance.

[winoneforthegipper]

Yeah I just translated an ISIS message and freaking this is just the start....scary stuff.

This will be a civil war...like we never seen before...seriously.

[sunmars]

oh this is just the start and Turkey has a lot to answer for, they have been arming these guys to the teeth for the last year over the border. He should be hung for this.

[winoneforthegipper]

Yeah....but the KURDs are like this is our land.

They are primed to make amends and BAATH separatists are even saber rattling....sheesh I thought they all died?....lol

“Iraqi soldiers take off their uniforms and leave posts in #Musul as ISIS forces take over the city ... Iraq pic.twitter.com/YOe0WN80Mn”

Jihadi sources claim 15 “attack helicopters” seized along with missiles at Mosul airbase.

great, just great.

[Justa]

And they’re all fighting for control of the northern Iraqi oil fields and facilities.

Get Code Pink over there ASAP!

[laconic]

Nonsense; our government has assured us that Al Qaeda is finished. The group that chased out the Iraqi Army and took over Mosul must consist of Christians, Tea Party members and unreconstructed Zionists.
