Full Title:

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.

Yea. He's sent his advisors to a room and told them to find a solution while he Golfs.
Of course, he will not agree to any solution because he's the smartest one in the room.

One question: do you think Egypt is going to be swept up in this union/kalif/coalescense?

Later on. It is, after all, extending into a separate continent. Right now Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is no doubt being very, very careful.

Carl Levin Statement on Iraq withdrawal

Our military withdrawal as agreed to in the 2008 Security Agreement sends a clear message to the Iraqi people and the Arab world that the United States keeps its commitments...It is time to complete the transition of responsibility for Iraq’s security to the Government of Iraq. The Iraqis are in a position to handle their own internal security...Our concern about the security of the Christian minorities is very strong. We need to work with the Government of Iraq to ensure it has the will and capability to protect Iraq’s religious minority communities from targeted violence and persecution. - Democrat Senator Carl Levin - Tuesday, November 15, 2011

Carl Levin, Carl Levin. Please report to Iraq. We have a special job for you.
