ISIS butchers leave 'roads lined with decapitated police and soldiers': Battle for Baghdad looms as thousands answer Iraqi government's call to arms and jihadists bear down on capital
The full horror of the jihadists’ savage victories in Iraq emerged yesterday as witnesses told of streets lined with decapitated soldiers and policemen.
Blood-soaked bodies and blazing vehicles were left in the wake of the Al Qaeda-inspired ISIS fanatics as they pushed the frontline towards Baghdad.
They boasted about their triumphs in a propaganda video depicting appalling scenes including a businessman being dragged from his car and executed at the roadside with a pistol to the back of his head. The extent of the carnage came as:
Images from captured cities such as Mosul and Tikrit showed deserted streets, burnt out vehicles and discarded uniforms left by government troops fleeing the brutal fanatics;
ISIS leaders urged their bloodthirsty followers to continue their march and warned that battle would rage in Baghdad and in the holy city of Karbala;
Thousands of residents in the capital answered a call to arms to repel the invaders amid fears the government’s own troops were not up to the job;
Aid groups warned of a new refugee crisis after half a million terrified Iraqis left their homes to escape the jihadists.

Why is the U.S. MSM not covering this?
I like the gal in the middle solemnly nodding her head as the bomb explodes
He is considering his options during his nap.
I hope the Iraqis in Bagdad read the Daily Mail — then maybe they will grow a pair and actually fight back.
He should begin by sending his wife over there to set up the children’s program for diets in schools.
The President should go down there and shake some hands, split a ham sandwich with them and find peace with that beer summit style he is famous for.
“Why is the U.S. MSM not covering this?”
Everything that opponents of the Iraq drawdown said would happen, IS HAPPENING...
Those people were called “racists that just hate the idea of a black man as President!”, if you recall.
This makes Obama look bad, and as Sheryl Atkinson’s bosses told her, “They just don’t want the headaches” that would come from fully covering this, like being disinvited to Tina Brown’s next party, or having SEIU protestors threatening their kids at school.
And the hits just keep coming:

Thanks for the warning. Obama should be tied down and forced to watch this.
I know, you would have thought those Mr. Limpet lips would have at least...puffed out, or sumth’n.
Chromosomes missing... not fully evolved
They took Taji?
F, that was one of my former bases.
I’m glad Balad is holding. That’d be a great place for air assets. It’s a huge base.
Obastard has to be the most egotistical man on earth. He literally believes that his mere existence solves all the world’s problems.
How did this all begin? It seems it just happened out of nowhere! Our media has barely mentioned this, and this could be the biggest story of the year.
How much arms did Obama give them already?

Enough ManPads to shoot down everything larger than a 152 ... everywhere.
Maybe they will fight till each side has killed off the other side and made the world a better place...........
He has no sense of what has been historically appropriate. He is just doing what he feels like and calling all reasons for doing them some kind of crisis.
I think the man could be truly insane on some level.
.... The mighty Obama will, with one arm outsretched and grasping his iconic golf putter ..... will brilliantly and swiftly swoop in and save the day by offering a couple band-aids he swiped from the oval office first-aid kit to help the refugees. After all ... he still is the leader of the ever shrinking and dying Free World.
Wars driven by the executive branch have not been successful in my lifetime. This is no different, just like ‘Nam, but at least we did not loose 50K of our boys doing it.
