Anyone suprised that isis is only a mile away from Baghdad? Here's a clip from above:
Islamic State (ISIS) fighters are only one mile away from Baghdad, Iraq's capital, according a spokesman for the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East, a Christian aid group.
"They said it could never happen and now it almost has. Obama says he overestimated what the Iraqi Army could do. Well, you only need to be here a very short while to know they can do very, very little," said the spokesman.
In an interview (see video below), Canon Andrew White, a veteran of Baghdad and leader of the foundation, said that the U.S. airstrikes had proven to be ineffective against the Islamic State and that, unfortunately, they had merely killed civilians. Ground troops are needed, he said to defeat the Islamic State.
Canon himself has been provided with over 30 security guards –some of them soldiers from the Iraqi Army -- due to the danger that he faces. When asked if he had faith in the Iraqi army, Canon laughed.
Looks like everything we fought for could be lost in a matter of hours if not days! Hard to imagine the regime would let this happen. Can't be good for them politically which is all that matters....to them.
Never good to let commie dems in power.....
