ISIS video announcing Islamic caliphate pledges to free Palestine
The Irish Times / The Guardian News Service ^ | July 1, 2014 | Mark Tran and Matthew Weaver

Posted on 07/01/2014 12:08:12 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Islamist militants, who have declared an Islamic “caliphate” in an area straddling Iraq and Syria, trumpeted the declaration in several videos.

One slick video, mostly in English, features a bearded fighter with an AK-47 on his back, explaining the new caliphate. “This is not the first border we will break, we will break other borders,” a jihadist from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (Isis), also known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, warned in the video called End of Sykes-Picot, a reference to the agreement between France and Britain that divided up the Ottoman empire territories after the first World War.

Later the fighter pledges that jihadists will free Palestine. “We are not here to replace an Arab cahoot with a western cahoot. Rather our jihad is more lofty and higher. We are fighting to make the word of Allah the highest,” the spokesman said.

He is filmed showing abandoned Iraqi army badges and vehicles left by fleeing soldiers.

“There is no army in the world that can withstand the soldiers of Islam,” he said....

Well, time and again, you’ve been proven wrong and unwanted.

Spain and Portugal finally ridded themselves of the scourge of your predecessors.

France stopped your expansion at The Battle of Tours.

Atakurk found your system of governance an anethma.

You are a sick people.

May your sun rise in the West...

We’re certainly living in historic times. This is the third major upswing and “push” in Islamic history - in trying to take over the world. Now we find ourselves living in this third big push from Islam to take over the world. It’s going to be a “hundred years war” with them!

We’re already at least a quarter of a century into it with about 75 years to go. They’re just getting started!

Hopefully, this forces the Saudis to get off their duffs and move to put a stop to this.

They seem to be aware that it is in their best interest to not see Israel’s hand forced.

We have such a vast array of military option to deploy to totally crush these creeps and wipe them off the face of the planet . We only lack the will of so-called leadership to deploy those assets . It’s time to dump the leadership and get on with the business of deploying the assets and WINNING the global war on Islamist terrorism .
NOTHING is more important right now .

Unfortunately sooner than later this will have to happen since there will be peace as long as that crappy (i)slam cult will be with us.

Before ISIS gets a grand victory, they will have to deal with Russian Pilots and now Iranian pilots flying the Su-25 Frogfoot planes.

It is a safe bet that none of Obozo’s ROE’s for our warriors in danger will apply to the Russian and Iranian pilots. Their orders will be simple, kill the Isis serial killers.

Exclusive: Putin’s Pilots Set to Fly Over Iraq
The Daily Beast ^ | 07/01/14 | Josh Rogin

Russia may not have boots on the ground in Iraq—yet. But it will have them in the sky; Russian pilots could be flying over Iraq within days. While the Obama administration struggles to speed up delivery of U.S. military assistance to the government of Iraq, Vladimir Putin has already delivered not only fighter jets but also the pilots needed to fly them, diplomatic sources told The Daily Beast.

On Monday, Russian television trumpeted the arrival of the first five of 12 promised Sukhoi Su-25 combat fighter jets to the Iraqi government, saying it had also sent “trainers” to help the Iraqis use them. Gen. Anwar Hama Ameen, the commander of the Iraqi Air Force, told The New York Times the fighter jets would enter the battle against ISIS within a few days, after which the Russian trainers would leave Iraq. He said Iraq had plenty of pilots with “long experience” flying the Su-25. The Russian ambassador to Iraq also said Russian pilots would not fly missions inside Iraq.

Perhaps. But diplomatic sources told The Daily Beast that Russian pilots will fly the planes due to a lack of Iraqi pilots with the proper training. Neither Russia nor Iraq as explained how the Iraqi air force could possibly have pilots trained and ready to fly the Russian fighters. The Su-25 planes were used in the Iraq-Iran war but have not been employed in Iraq since at least 2002, when Iraq’s military was controlled by the Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein.

The news below, indicates that Iran has deployed its 7 SU 25’s to Iraq.

These planes will be flown by Iranian Pilots and serviced by Iranians

By David Cenciotti

Seven Su-25 Frogfoot attack planes operated by the Iranian Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution have arrived at Baghdad to join the war against ISIS militants.

On Jul. 1, all the seven operational Su-25 Frogfoot attack planes operated by the Pasdaran (informal name of the IRGC – the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution) have completed their deployment to Imam Ali Airbase where they will join the ex-Russian Air Force Su-25s already delivered to Iraq in the air war against ISIS (Al Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant).

A dozen fighter jets against hundreds of thousands of dispersed jihadists? Almost worthless unless they’ll be dropping atomic munitions.

Isis probably has about 10k of real fighters, and they can be found and killed.

A strafing run up and down one of their victory highway parades would have a chilling impact.

It’s funny how that works. You start out with 10 or 15,000 fighters and have some successes and BOOM! you’re up to 50, 150 or 200,000 men. Throughout history you see it.
