Iraq: Islamic State vows to “erase US off the map” as fighting continues around Mosul

Militants from the Islamic State (formerly ISIS) have vowed to wipe the United States “off the map”, denying that the air strikes has affected its military power.

In a statement the Islamist group said:

“The Roman dog only pushed his air force in a new mess,and entered an alliance with the Kurds to commit the stupidity he has yet to awake from!

“Apparently this idiot forgot the Iraq swamp where tens of thousands of crusaders were exterminated and tens of thousands injured years ago.

“Not to mention the economic losses and financial crisis that nearly erased the United States off the map; and it will be erased soon by the caliphate knights.”

The militants also claimed responsibility for a recent helicopter crash which claimed the lives of the pilot, a US journalist, and an Iraqi member of parliament.

Meanwhile, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Iraqi troops claim to have won back control of of the Mosul Dam as US air strikes continue to target Islamic State military positions. However, Islamic State members claim to have repelled the attack and journalists on the ground say that fierce fighting continues.

The Mosul Dam holds major strategic significance, as it controls the water supply of much of Iraq and can produce up to 1010 megawatts of electricity.

Setup a Denny’s that serves breakfast with an extra large helping of bacon and nuke the IS when they descend on it to cut off heads...

In the meantime their fearless leader has taken a convoy of humvees to Syria to try to escape the US drone strikes. I guess he took multiple humvees so that we couldn’t nail down the one he was in. I hope that we disregard the Syrian border and continue to go after this goat hhumper.

These crusaders aren't riding horses - and are better trained and equipped than these dirt worshipers...

...and they are still around working for other PSD companies...like TC and advising the US military and other entities...only the name has changed!

The “Islamic State”, i.e., the nascent Worldwide Caliphate, certainly does not lack for ambition. At this point, however, this is akin to the FLEA riding of the back of an elephant on a barge, shouting out, “Raise the drawbridge! I have an erection!”

Of course, there are some within the territory once known as “the United States of America” that would be wanting to feed the flea some Viagra.

Got to remember WHO the Islamics REALLY WORSHIP and it is NOT the same GOD as the Jews and Christians.

According to Hoshyar Zebari, the ISIS forces at the Mosul Dam just melted away.
