Sounds like the ISIS sweep south has been halted for now, if these reports are correct.

Time to send John Kerry to restart peace talks and restore the momentum. < / sarcasm >

At least the defenders didn’t abandon their weapons and uniforms and run away.

Everyone one of the liberal idiots in Washington...Hussien Obama, Hitlery Clintoon, Herman Muenster Kerry, Clown Reid, Nancy ‘The Joker” Pelosi, all said that U.S. foreign policy needed a reset back in 2008.

How’s that “RESET” working for you fools?

I wonder if and when Iran will directly enter this war?

Cities captured by American blood are now re-captured by the Taliban. Why no outrage against Obama? We have met the enemy, and it is us. It is “WE” who twice elected a community organizer as Commander-in-Chief and a spineless Republican party.

Iraqi helicopters bombed the city of Samarra after insurgents overran parts of it early on Thursday, bringing them within striking distance of a Shi'ite shrine the destruction of which in a 2006 attack unleashed a bitter sectarian war.

What immediatley strikes me about this is that the US is no longer in charge of the Rules of Engagement.

Too soon to lose Samarra—too far south. Tikrit, Mosul and Fallujah are gone. The wave is coming down the Tigris. Baghdad will begin to be hit from the west and north within 2 weeks—unless Iran and possibly Russia intervene.
