The Assyrian Army is in dire need of military support from the United States to protect Christian communities in Iraq and Syria against the genocide they are facing at the hands of the barbaric Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), according to a decorated American military veteran advising the force.
Retired Lt. Col. Sargis Sangari, who was deployed to Iraq during his 20-year career in the U.S. Army, is one of the Americans advising the Assyrian Army, known as Dwekh Nawsha, which means "self-sacrifice" in the ancient Aramaic language used by Jesus and still spoken by the Assyrian Christians.
According to Sangari, the Assyrian military force, which is primarily based in Iraq's Assyrian Nineveh plain, is closely aligned with the strategic goals and aspirations of the United States.
Sangari, head of the Near East Center for Strategic Engagement, spoke to Breitbart News about the continued plight of Dwekh Nawsha as ISIS has unleashed a savage and deadly wave of persecution against Christians and other religious minorities throughout Iraq and Syria.
"All we're saying is we're done. We don't have equipment. We don't have the weapons. We don't have the training," said Lt. Col. Sangari, an Assyrian American.
"As much as you're giving money to all these individuals who are killing each other, why don't you try to give it to the Assyrians?" he added, addressing the United States. "Anybody who fights just for money will be a failure, but when you give money to individuals who are fighting for their homeland, they'll be successful."
The Assyrian Army is among the most effective groups fighting the terrorist organization, which has seized large swathes of Iraq and Syria, declared Lt. Col. Sangari.

Why would Hussein want to do that?
Sorry Christians. With Obola in the White Mosque, you are on your own.
They’re asking the wrong guy - obozo won’t help, but Putin might ...
Why should Zero contribute to any organization fighting to save Christians?
Mr. Sangari will have to wait for assistance at least to Jan 2017, and possibly much longer, if another rat is elected prez.
I would suggest he contact the Russians instead.
Yeah, I’d be asking Vlad not imam obungo (may pigs be upon him)
I would suggest he contacts France. They are probably looking for easy ways to hurt ISIS.
All I can send them is prayers.
Forget it. The US is only providing limited support to the Kurds in Syria doing direct battle with ISIS. And when we do make a big arms dump, the weapons end up in ISIS hands.
Obama has been sending Christian immigrants back to the Middle East, where they can be killed with the weapons he gives the Muslim terrorists.
In direct reversal of what I was accustomed to pray for as a child, I am praying for the success of the Russian armed strategy (fighting ISIS)-— and the conversion of the USA.
Ain't that the truth. The American President is a disgrace, and I say that - even concerning Obama - with the greatest reluctance. Nevertheless, it's true.
Our Lady, Help of Christians, pray for us.
Take the money you were going to give Iran and toss it to the Kurds and the Assyrians instead...
:( Better ask God, guys...
The State Department policy is to not help of get involved in a war that protects Christianity. They know this offends Muslims
They would have more luck asking Putin for support than Obama.
