Heads bowed in terror the orange-clad Kurdish fighters are paraded through streets filled with jeering militants in the latest horrifying video release from Islamic State.
In a grim echo of the terrible fate which befell Jordanian pilot Lieutenant Muath al-Kaseasbeh the captives, reportedly Peshmerga fighters, are dressed in orange jumpsuits and shackled in cages.
Just as Lt. al-Kaseasbeh was burned alive on camera, IS are planning to do the same with their latest prisoners, according to posts on social media.

But the Pentagon said the capture of the town did not represent a major setback in the war effort against the Islamists who have overrun large areas of Iraq and Syria.
'This is arguably the first in at least a couple of months, if not more, where they (IS) have had any success at all at taking any new ground,' Kirby said.
'So this is an enemy that we still assess to be in a defensive posture.'
He added: 'It's one town. It's not all of Anbar. It's not all of Iraq.
'We need to keep it in perspective.'

On Wednesday President Obama formally requested from Congress the authority to use military force in the war against ISIS.
The proposal does not ask for the deployment of ground troops.
During a press conference the president said: 'Our coalition is on the offensive, ISIL is on the defensive and ISIL is going to lose.'

.... And in the meantime our idiot in the white house mugs in the mirror. I can’t say the words on this website to convey how I feel about this sham of a president.
As JFK discovered; "Words are more important than deeds".
So, it doesn't matter what is actually happening; as long as our leaders say everything is OK.
Got it.
This is so embarrassing. They took the town in several days and there’s no mention of any effort to drive them out of it.
Obama likes to let ISIS terrorize people because the stupid GOP and the media focus on this alonw while he steals our iternet and robs our freedom.
The media is not focusing on this at all.
There is a point to be made that there are a billion muzzies over there and they’re letting 50k of them go around burning people. At some point they have to defend themselves, assuming they’re not all sympathizers to the isis cause.
They’re running out of options = what’s next - drawing and quartering?
Will no one rid us of these troublesome savages?
You know... I’m kinda to the point that we need to shift our philosophy over there. We’re spending $$$ shooting expensive weapons at pickups with a half dozen goofball jihadis in them. Instead we should spend the next couple or three weeks with a sustained campaign and blowup / destroy every oil producing facility and well in Iraq and Iran. And when that campaign is finished let these guys decide if they can fund a war at this point. We’ll frac our own oil and natural gas if we have too, and buy from Canada.
Our government spokesmen have learned from Saddam’s government. Now they all sound like Bagdad Bob.
Well, our new leaders have learned that America at large is too engrossed in the tyranny of everyday affairs to care about such major issues.
Do you remonstrate with one who leaves his door unguarded or only the monster who walks through the door?
“Will no one rid us of these troublesome savages?”
Sadly, there is no one - except us, as in U.S. We will have to take the lead in troops and money. Btw, “troublesome”? Really? Troublesome is having a piece of corn stuck between your teeth.....
Jen Psaki has without a doubt graduated with honors, first in her class from BBSD University. (The Bagdad Bob School of Denial.)
This article, appearing in a British newspaper, illustrates everything that is wrong with Obama’s foreign policy. At the same time, it demonstrates what is wrong with our own news media and their failure to hold the lying regime to account.
Yeah.... I guess I’m just tired of hearing about these people. There is no fix for them. I mean they’re killing each other now because they can’t get to us. There is nothing there worth saving. We can figure out how to get oil out of a radioactive wasteland if we have to. The sooner we realize that a culture that parades people around in cages before they burn them alive is not someone we “can work with”.... none of them.... the better off we’ll be.
FOX does. I wasn’t trying to make this look as unimportant. I just meant that Obama always works with chaos. He likes it because people don’t seem to keep up with all the damaging stuff his admin does.
It is like trying plug all the holes in a dyke. You go after one and a bunch more crop up. All threatening.
The imposter and chief is showing the world they will not protect those who joined us before. The muslim brotherhood is alive and well in DC JUST ASK VALARIE JARRET
Certainly a big fat warning to the world about the USA. A change of regime to the gibsmedat crowd, and suddenly you’re left holding the bag.
Chaos is his second middle name
