Basically, they're being supported by Iraqi Sunni groups.
Interesting that the Sunni Saudi Arabian government doesn’t get mentioned.
I’ve got one secret ally of theirs
O-B-A-M-A
Obama administration?
Just saw a Video Clip on O’Reilly. Looks like ISIS has captured an M-1 Tank and some Bradley Armored Personnel Carriers.
Would someone please tell me why we are allowing our “Iraqi Army” Modern Military Equipment to fall in to the hands of Murdering Terrorists?
Look, you don't criticize a country when your leader bows down to that country's leader. It just isn't done.
In the past we used to give lesser versions of our tanks, fighters, etc., to other countries. They would never get the latest versions. Against their own people, they are deadly, of course, but our own A10 and Javelin can kill them pretty quickly.
“but our own A10 and Javelin can kill them pretty quickly”
Do you mean the A-10 the Air Force just killed?
I have long written here on FR that those 3 people cannot get along and will war against each other. The Brits weren’t real smart after WWI about the way they broke up the Ottoman Empire.
The Brits absolutely ignored the Kurds and it’s been a problem ever since. Iraq is not an ancient country. It was arbitrarily patched together by British politicians after WWI ignoring people groups.
Yep. It’s a beast in a tank war.
They make a terrible mistake ending the A-10. I hear the Army wants it. They’ll be ignored, because to give it to the Army upsets their dumb compromise giving every service EXCEPT the Army, the guys dying on the ground, its own air force.
Well, Congress just cut funding for the A-10 Fleet, so it looks like our Ruling Class Politicians just shot our Country in the foot again.
Is Obongobongo Shia or Sunni?
Sunni
Ahh, that explains a lot. Thanks.
Iran is Shia = they heavily influenced the government of Iraq formation as the US military exited Iraq 2 1/2 years ago. Corrupt Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki is Shia.
Saudi Arabia is Sunni. Kenya is Sunni - Obama’s father and step father were Sunni. Sunni oppose the Syrian government too.
Iran will weigh in after the Sunni ISIS runs wild for a while and kills/beheads etc as muslims love to do in jihad. The Iranian head of Quds, Suelemani, has been in Baghdad this week. Remember his name. After the Sunni terrorists finish their deadly run through Iraq, the Iranians will strike back.
Both Sunni and Shia in Iraq have US manufactured anti-aircraft missiles, which is why the US is completely on the sidelines. About the only thing the US can do is send a cruise missile into a tent to blow up a camel in Iraq.
The US military completely exited in Dec 2011. The US embassy staff and all American contractors need to evacuate immediately.
Doesn’t mean that Alibama couldn’t be serving the greater good of Allah through helping create the needed environment to usher in the Caliphate that might transcend their sectarian issues; additionally to weaken the US and Israel and further the NWO/Globalist goals. Doesn’t Alibama fit the Shia myth of playing the part of a John the Baptist or Elijah to their Mahdi? A tall black man from Africa who ruled from a far from the islands or coastlands who would bring about the right conditions for their Mahdi. I remember hearing about this way back in ‘08 and I could be wrong because I don’t know Farsi but that Obama phonetically sounds like the words for ‘he is with us’?
