The Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham continues its lightning advance southward after seizing control of Mosul, the country's second largest city, and the province of Ninewa and other areas of Salahaddin and Kirkuk provinces yesterday. ISIS has now captured the Salahaddin cities of Bayji, which has Iraq's largest oil refinery, and Tikrit, the provincial capital.
ISIS units traveling in a convoy of more than 60 vehicles advanced into Bayji last night, and torched several government buildings, court houses, and police headquarters, according to ITAR-TASS and Reuters. ISIS fighters are said to have surrounded the refinery and sent a delegation to security forces who are holding out in the complex.
According to Reuters, the 250 security personnel agreed to withdraw from the refinery complex, the largest in Iraq.
After seizing Bayji, ISIS fighters moved to take control of Tikrit, the provincial capital and home town of former dictator Saddam Hussein.
Tikrit is now said to be effectively under ISIS control.

This is “really bad” because we still have that ass hat Obama and the rest of his incompetent cronies in the WH.
Get prepared for an attack on the homeland.
The commies in the press must be getting soft. I figured they would be all over this 24/7 with 3 minutes hate about the evil Bush!
That is my thinking as well. All the while Congress twiddles it’s thumbs-worrying about keeping their seats!
According to Al Reuters, the 250 security personnel agreed to withdraw from the refinery complex, the largest in Iraq. Looks like another lie from this admin.
Thanks!..............
NATO AMBASSADORS HELD EMERGENCY MEETING ON WEDNESDAY AT TURKEY'S REQUEST TO DISCUSS IRAQ SITUATION - NATO OFFICIAL
This is an emergency!!
I thought that was the main thing we wanted to prevent.
But I guess Barry has other priorities. He's going to stand with the Muslims.
Killing Osama Bin Laden, just to help you win an election you were gonna steal anyway, sure did work out great. Did Obama ever stop to think why GWB had not killed Osama ? Nope. Not Obama. Did he even contemplate that killing Osama would create one the worlds greatest Islamic martyrs in history. Nope. Not Obama. He never cares about the ends, only the means.
LOL, good comment.
It worked for those girls in Nigeria didn't it?
I guess Obama will wait until ISIS has the entire country before delivering them.
“David Cameron rules out British military intervention”
As if he had a choice.
Probably Mr. Flexibility is in on the whole operation.
Washington spokesman confirms:
In on of the updates in that Telegraph article there’s this: “STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS U.S. UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IRAQ’S BIGGEST OIL REFINERY “REMAINS UNDER CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT”
“They need to send John Kerry to talk to them and get them to be satisfied with their Sudetenland.”
Our SEAL transport teams should take Kerry and Ms Clinton up over Iraq and do a Halo Drop with them into the ISIS lines.
Then, Kerry and Ms Clinton can nuance with the ISIS serial killers.
