Iraqi troops suffer mass slaughter one mile from Baghdad: the general ISIS Chat thread

[kingblaze84]

Remember Iraq's American embassy, the largest and most expensive in the world, is in Baghdad. This is crazy

 

[Focal Point]

With all the technology in the world...how can the air strikes not pinpoint this push occurring?

I'm saying the same thing to myself....how is it possible ISIS can slaughter 1,000 troops without being in massive formations that could be seen from the sky? Where are these ISIS guys hiding? Either way it shows America has almost zero good intelligence on the ground

Iraqi Air Force Accidentally Delivers Food And Ammunition To ISIS Militants

WASHINGTON -- Iraqi pilots mistakenly delivered food, water and ammunition to Islamic State militants on a recent mission that was meant to supply their own service members with the supplies, NBC News reported.

"Some pilots, instead of dropping these supplies over the area of the Iraqi army, threw it over the area that is controlled by ISIS fighters,” Hakim Al-Zamili, a member of the Iraqi parliament and a senior security official, told NBC. “Those soldiers were in deadly need of these supplies, but because of the wrong plans of the commanders in the Iraqi army and lack of experience of the pilots, we in a way or another helped ISIS fighters to kill our soldiers."

A brigadier-general in Iraq’s Defense Ministry also confirmed the news to NBC, attributing it to pilots who were "young and new." The incident reportedly occurred on Sept. 19.

It definitely is. With incompetence like this, it's no wonder ISIS is winning on the ground now.

On the other hand, I wonder if the Iraqi troops made an effort to get those weapons and food back......

The news gets worse and worse for America's failing and embarrassing war against ISIS, especially in Iraq. Here's the kicker, the "moderate rebels" Obama and Congress gave weapons and money to ARE NOW TURNING AGAINST US LOL.....Iraq's govt is also admitting it's military WILL NOT beat back ISIS and they want American troops on the ground there

REYHANLI, Turkey — The U.S.-led air war in Syria has gotten off to a rocky start, with even the Syrian rebel groups closest to the United States turning against it, U.S. ally Turkey refusing to contribute and the plight of a beleaguered Kurdish town exposing the limitations of the strategy.

U.S. officials caution that the strikes are just the beginning of a broader strategy that could take years to carry out. But the anger that the attacks have stirred risks undermining the effort, analysts and rebels say.

The U.S. targets have included oil facilities, a granary and an electricity plant under Islamic State control. The damage to those facilities has caused shortages and price hikes across the rebel-held north that are harming ordinary Syrians more than the well-funded militants, residents and activists say.

Perhaps, but that awkward policy of, you know, helping rebels who fight alongside AL-Qaeda front groups like Al-Nusra Front was strange enough on its own. I just hope these so called moderates don't join forces with ISIS out of anger to America.

i think the really awkward part of the policy has been the administration trying to have everything both ways

I know, they want to kill terrorists but at the same time, be willing to do business with other terrorists to kill the other terrorists who are trying to kill us. And these same people work with the terrorists we're trying to kill, what is seriously the point of this war then? No wonder the rest of the world is mostly standing by.

To the people who support the American air strikes (lol), what should America do over there now
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices...in-tatters-as-militants-march-on-9789230.html

Unfortunately for the US, Kobani isn't the only place air strikes are failing to stop Isis. In an offensive in Iraq launched on 2 October but little reported in the outside world, Isis has captured almost all the cities and towns it did not already hold in Anbar province, a vast area in western Iraq that makes up a quarter of the country. It has captured Hit, Kubaisa and Ramadi, the provincial capital, which it had long fought for. Other cities, towns and bases on or close to the Euphrates River west of Baghdad fell in a few days, often after little resistance by the Iraqi Army which showed itself to be as dysfunctional as in the past, even when backed by US air strikes.

In the face of a likely Isis victory at Kobani, senior US officials have been trying to explain away the failure to save the Syrian Kurds in the town, probably Isis's toughest opponents in Syria. "Our focus in Syria is in degrading the capacity of [Isis] at its core to project power, to command itself, to sustain itself, to resource itself," said US Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken, in a typical piece of waffle designed to mask defeat.

 

[Mally_G]

long story short, Iraq wants the US and its allies to fight for them; otherwise, the Iraqi military will either turn, defect, desert, or get shot in the back with no resistance while running away.

Iraq is saying, US forces started this, so you finish it

let them have it, because if we go back we should own it permenantly.

Word, let them learn to live with ISIS LOL, America can't even beat the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, and we're supposed to suddenly destroy ISIS haha what a joke. I don't want to risk a single American life for that hell hole, if the people there can't beat them, then we might as well learn to do business with them (just as America does business with the beheading, Shariah loving govt of Saudi Arabia)

That's not an option we would run the risk of wars spreading all over the mid-east eventually threatening american interest in the region. In addition these people are religiously motivated to destroy or convert america so leaving them alone would be like letting a wound fester.

we can do business with saudi arabia because it's a stable government and it's ultimate goal is just to keep the saudi family in power not uniting the billions of muslims all over the world for holy war.

Yeah but Saudi Arabia has programs all over the Middle East and parts of Asia and Africa that support militant Wahhabi Sunni Islam, which is known to be radical regarding spreading Islam. There are documentaries on this all over, and ISIS actually agrees with a huge part of it
http://muslimvillage.com/2014/09/06...ok-at-the-history-of-saudi-arabias-wahhabism/

And don't forget Saudi Arabian princes, according to Joe Biden himself, are helping to fund ISIS. And guess what? America isn't doing drone strikes or massive warfare there. In the end, America does business with the Saudis, who aren't much better then ISIS. Saudi Arabia probably beheads almost as many people per month as ISIS does. I guess you also forgot 19 out of the 20 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, didn't you? Don't make yourself look silly here.
