The Battle for Iraq

Posted on | June 28, 2014 | 8 Comments

All of these headlines are from American Power today:

#Iraq Army Mounts Counteroffensive in Tikrit, Mosul

– – –

Bin Laden’s Caliphate Rises in #Iraq

– – –

#Iraq Troops Mount Defense to Save Baghdad

– – –

GRAPHIC VIDEO: Shiite Forces Execute Scores
of Sunni Prisoners in Tal Afar, #Iraq

That’s pretty thorough coverage of major international news for one guy running a conservative blog in his spare time. Perhaps, however, you don’t trust conservative bloggers, and would prefer to get your news from professional journalists, like this liberal douchebag at Slate:

Is climate change destabilizing Iraq?

We report. You decide.

    […] ISIS is well funded and has the means to finance a terrorist army. Who do you think they’re going to target? And some liberal idiot is saying that Iraq’s destabilization was caused by climate change. […]

  5. Is the ISIS in Iraq and Syria dysfunctional? Sure, so is cancer… | Batshit Crazy News

    […] I do not disagree with the general premise of this story, that the ISIS is dysfunctional. Ronald Reagan predicted that communism would fall on its own (eventually).  And sure enough, it did.  Reagan did not appease communists, he worked to contain it and keep pressure on it until it did fall. Radical Islam as it is practiced by the ISIS is not global communism, in terms of threat.  The ISIS ideology is so violent (in its present form) that is unlikely to spread much beyond where is it is currently immediately located (Iraq and Syria, and possibly Jordan).  That said, ISIS is more than enough to worry about.  Cancer is dysfunctional too, but the chaos it causes can still kill a patient depending on how fast it spreads and what organs it damages.  The amount of damage the ISIS can do is enormous. And like a disease, nothing says this can’t mutate into a less immediately psychotic, but still extremely anti western form of ideology.  Communism managed to last decades and cost millions of lives. The ISIS is not going to be the Soviet Union, but with a bit of staying power and say a dirty bomb or chemical weapons it could cause massive destruction and set off a wider war. Bill Clinton should shut up on causes (perhaps he can remember he let Osama bin Laden go).  Barack Obama also created a great environment for ISIS to gain strength in what he did in Syria just a few months ago.  That combined with Obama’s foolish decision to pull out completely of Iraq is what let to the current crisis.

    Of course the media won’t report on it honestly. It shows the fecklessness of the Administration and it’s media enablers.
