ISIS fighters attacked a pair of villages in northern Iraq today, aiming to find those responsible for the burning of a pair of ISIS flags in the area. The raid involved 30 vehicles.
When all was said and done, ISIS had captured 170 men from the two oft-contested villages, in Kirkuk Province, and had transported them to Hawijah, a city still under their control.
ISIS made a similar raid in Kirkuk Province in September, capturing 50 people who burned one of their checkpoints. They reportedly released some of them later, and they assured in today’s raids they will only keep those proven responsible for the flag burnings.
The targeted villages, Shajara and Gharib, have repeatedly changed hands over the past several months between ISIS, Iraqi government forces, and Kurdish fighters.
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
If the Islamic State is a creation of our CIA, just more confusion to expedite the expansion of our Empire, surely this has yet to be established. But, time is the great arbitrator of truth, an accomplishment well worth the misery we must endure to achieve such an grand and permanent thing.
CORRECTION
Time is the great arbitrator of truth, and to endure the pain required to acquire such a grand and awesome knowledge, surely it is well worth the misery.
They are getting their balls in an uproar over what? Burning a flag?
Oh wait, aren't the far right wingers over here all bent out of shape over …..flag burning? See they all have something in common now.
