ISIS: The occupant's Iraq - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
So this is for which our boys and girls in the armed forces gave their lives: The occupant of the Oval Office's Iraq? The president's party's pre-election cry was that there were no al Qaeda in Iraq. Today, we see the full blown evidence of how the president's heart toward al Qaeda and all things Muslim has turned into a more dangerous world, and unstable world, brought about by a resurgence of terrorist growth as supported by his foreign policy partner the Muslim Brotherhood in every country where he touted democracy across the Middle East. On the outside, it appears to be an abject failure in foreign policy. To an insider, it may appear a well-orchestrated strategy. Certainly, the public evidence supports that theory.
The driving force behind the president's Iraq is Abu Duaa, the fiery leader of al Qaeda's Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Abu Duaa was released in 2009 when the president shut down the Bucca prison camp in Iraq. He has transformed al Qaeda in Iraq and has swept across the country like a 7th Century Mohammad. He sees both Syria and Iraq as an Islamic state, the beginning of a single al Qaeda caliphate, having recruited over 7,000 fighters and controlling large swaths of territory in Northeastern Syria and Northwestern Iraq. Like those terrorist who the president traded for a US deserter, Abu Duaa vowed to fight again, and he has.
In his wake is a form of medieval Sharia Law to govern the conquered areas. It is punctuated, as reported by the UK Daily Mail, by burned out vehicles, decapitated heads placed in rows down streets and abandoned Iraqi soldier and police uniforms shed as they ran from the terror rather than face the carnage. The Daily Mail reported: "Despite vastly outnumbering the jihadists, government troops have melted away in the face of the insurgents, allowing them to capture two helicopters, 15 tanks, weapons and several armored cars that used belonging to the American military....According to bitter Iraqi footsoldiers, their commanders slipped away in the night rather than mount a defense of the city."
Vice President Joe Biden told Larry King on CNN in 2010, "I am very optimistic about -- about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government." Here again, this administration is telling its lapdog media one thing, while a completely opposite strategy is in the works. Now the "president" says he is considering assisting Iraq. Doe's this mean more American troops being killed and maimed by the very people the "president" supports by his actions throughout the Middle East?
A Gallup poll conducted June 5-8 indicated that 51% of Americans responding said the phrase "is honest and trustworthy" does not apply to the "president." Measuring actions over words, American's can begin to piece together a puzzle that reveals this White House is a threat to the national security of America. 2 Timothy 3:13 says, "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." What appears to be is not, and what appears could not be, is. From refusal to enforce border security and calling it a humanitarian crisis to supporting terror groups such as the Taliban and al Qaeda by releasing their leaders and giving them arms and assistance throughout the Middle East, this "president" is showing his heart by his deeds.
What is ISIS and why is it important?
The Iraqi government has declared a "state of emergency" after losing control of one of its major cities - Mosul (ancient Ninevah) - to a Sunni insurgent group that is a breakaway faction of al Qaeda.
The group is commonly referred to as "ISIS" (pronounced "EYE-sis"), which stands for the "Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham." Al Sham refers to the "Levant," or the region of Lebanon, Syria, Israel, and Jordan.
ISIS wants to wage violent jihad in order to establish an Islamic caliphate or kingdom in the entire region.
It is currently recruiting foreign jihadist fighters to wage jihad in Syria to topple Bashar al-Assad's regime. ISIS is also fighting to bring down the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in Iraq. Ideally, its leaders would like to topple Jordan's King Abdullah II and capture the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as part of its caliphate. Then it wants to annihilate the Jews, destroy Israel, and capture Jerusalem, as well.
In February, the main al Qaeda leadership broke ties with ISIS, as reported by the New York Times.
At the moment, I'm writing a new international political thriller about ISIS, to be released next spring.
Here's a snapshot of the latest developments:
"Iraqi army soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Tuesday, as Sunni militants freed hundreds of prisoners and seized military bases, police stations, banks and the provincial governor's headquarters," reports the New York Times. "The insurgent attacks were among the most audacious assaults on the Iraqi government since the American military withdrawal more than two years ago."
Excerpts from the story:
*The rout in Mosul, the second-largest Iraqi city after Baghdad and an important center of the country's petroleum industry, was breathtaking in its speed, and appeared to take government officials by surprise, not to mention residents of the city itself.
*A major humiliation for the government forces in Iraq's Sunni-dominated areas, the defeat also reflected the stamina of a broader Sunni insurgency that has been growing with the war in neighboring Syria.
*Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki ordered a state of emergency for the entire country. His Shiite-led government has been increasingly struggling to deal with the resurrection of Sunni militancy in Iraq since the American military departure at the end of 2011 following eight years of war and occupation.
*By midday on Tuesday, militants believed to belong to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, one of the strongest extremist groups, were in control of much of central and southern Mosul, according to witnesses.
*Local officials claimed that many of the fighters were jihadists who had swept in from the porous border with Syria, who have increasingly operated with impunity in that region even as President Bashar al-Assad has reclaimed ground lost to the insurgents elsewhere in Syria....
*The Mosul assault came in a week when Mr. Maliki's government has been trying to beat back a surging militant offensive concentrated in central and northern Iraq and carried out by hundreds of well-armed fighters roaming the country in pickup trucks, seemingly able to strike at will.
*In Mosul, along with the cities of Samarra and Ramadi, the militants have stormed police stations, government offices and even a university. On Saturday, car bombs killed scores of people across the capital, Baghdad, in one of the deadliest coordinated attacks in weeks....
