Former Afghan War commander and President Obama’s point-man on the new ISIS War, retired General John Allen continued to offer assessments on the ongoing conflict, insisting today that it was too soon to say whether or not the US is winning the war.
That said, Allen conceded that ISIS is continuing to make “substantial gains” on the ground in Iraq, and still has “tactical momentum” in several areas around western Iraq.
Most of ISIS territorial gains in Iraq in recent days have centered around the Anbar Province, where they are quickly mopping up the last of the Iraqi government’s territory and moving on the second largest airbase in the country. The push to Anbar’s edge leaves them only a stone’s throw from Baghdad itself.
Allen went on to address the US airstrikes around Kobani, saying they were done for “humanitarian purposes” and that the US continues to maintain that the town itself has no strategic value for the US.
The losses in Iraq are clearly mounting, and at best Kobani itself is a stalemate, with ISIS not taking the town as quickly as predicted, but far from defeated in its latest push toward the border town.
All this ISIL/ISIS hub-bub seems more than payback for the arrogance of the Viceroy Paul Bremer. The fool did dismiss the entire Iraqi army.
Turkish Erdogan government just started bombing the Kurdish fighters, inside and out side syrian borders. Erdogan regime is the key element in creating ISIS for Erdogan to become the middle east empire. ISIS from all over Europe are flown to Turkey given free hand to travel where they want and how they want. In the other hand what is known as ISIS 70% of them are military, trained solders either from Saudi arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and other UAE counytrues, there are Turkish and jordanians and Israeli officers involved in training these barbarians called "moderate rebels", Obama or cia should have known that there is no such thing as "moderate rebels" when John McCain visited them, Obama should known that Syria is not Libya nor is going to be. Obama should start giving all necessary help to syrian government, to Iranian government and Kurdish fighters free hand to destroy these barbarians once and for all because Obama have no other alternative, otherwise the gats of hel is just about to open starting with Turkey and Kurdish fighters and will flame the entire Middle East sooner then Obama thinks.
Isn't this is just a game for the public to hide that USA is behind ISIL/ISIS. As if USA could not do anything against their advancing. Even the Turkish army did shoot at the Kurds to help the ISIL/ISIS.
and it seemed there were plans of a new map in the region … in the making now:
The Chaos In Iraq Is By DESIGN http://counterpsyops.com/2014/06/27/the-chaos-in-… The above map was prepared by Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters. It was published in the Armed Forces Journal in June 2006, Peters is a retired colonel of the U.S. National War Academy. (Map Copyright Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters 2006).
Although the map does not officially reflect Pentagon doctrine, it has been used in a training program at NATO’s Defense College for senior military officers”. (See Plans for Redrawing the Middle East: The Project for a “New Middle East” By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, Global Research, November 2006)
Iran Exposes ISIS! Top Commander Says It's Supported by US, Israel and KSA!
In general I suggest <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca” target=”_blank”>www.globalresearch.ca as the best source of news and information for such things.
Did you know that English and Turkish government/NATO, what they call "moderate rebels" to become Air Force pilots inside Turkey while David Cameron provides English military jets.
NATO/USA/Turkish Erdogan regime and all others are in for a minimum 30 years war and working on every possible way for this war to continue.
"…were done for “humanitarian purposes”…"
So, bombing for the hell of it. How much is this non-strategic "humanitarian" bombing costing the US taxpayer?
ISIS making substantial gains in Iraq because either:
1. You and your military are a bunch of pussies and haven't won a war in decades: you don't stop ISIS because you CAN'T
OR
2. You WANT them to make these gains as it furthers AmeriKan and Saudi Israelian "interests".
(Also now the GCC dwarves and the duplicitous Turkish two-faced bastards, revealing their true nature.)
So which is it, Jarhead? And will the bullets of the troops in Liberia be enough to defeat the Ebola virus?
Iraq Revolution — Sunni and Kurds overthrowing the most klutzy and cowardly Shia tribes
Which begs the question, Empire USA after over 200 years of setting up dictators and taking down one democracy after another, did those Empire builders not know that the Sunni tribes had ruled Iraq for at least 500 years due to their being the highest achievers and warriors unequaled in all of Iraq?
Surely, but it takes a couple of decades for a society so victimized to figure out the stupidity of it all and put things back to normal. No one allowed to rise above their highest level of incompetence, this being normal in our brain-power dictatorship called earth.
