ISIS Holds Parade With Captured US Military Vehicles

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As ISIS marches south over Iraq, produces movies, creates annual reports, and attacks dams; The Long War Journal reports The Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham's Ninewa Division continues to crank out images of its conquest of Mosul and the surrounding province. Earlier today, the Ninewa Division released photographs of its forces seizing control of several bases, displaying captured military hardware, and executing Iraqi soldiers. Then, the Ninewa Division published a set of photographs of a military parade in the city of Mosul. The photographs provide a glimpse of the ISIS' military strength in Mosul.

 

Via The Long War Journal, 

Scores of ISIS technicals, as well as several captured US-supplied Humvees, armored cars, and even artillery pieces are shown. Hundreds of ISIS fighters are involved in the parade, which begins during the day and goes on through the night.

A subset of the photographs is published below.

Scores of ISIS vehicles and hundreds of fighters line up for the parade:

If they weren't such special needs retards the US wouldn't have to send the special ed teachers to "train" them (again).

But since the training didn't work the first time around when the US had unlimited time and unlimited money, it takes a special kind to stupid to believe that it would make ANY difference under the present conditions.

They were trained to fail.

If they were any good they would have been a long term threat to Israel and/or Saudi Arabia. Can't have that.

Better to make a fortune on outfitting and "training" them, then make another fortune when you have to do it again every few years...

Long live the Ottoman Empire

In the century after President William Taft's rule of the United States of America the Ottoman Empire began to resurrect itself over the executive branch of the US Government. Barack Hussein Obama son of, use your best guess here, was elected in 2008 as the president of Washington D.C.. The fall of the US. Constitution meant the loss of national control over the 50 states and the secret rule by the new Ottoman Empire. The important city of Baghdad was about to be captured from the Iraqis in 2014. The Ottoman victory at Kosovo in 1389 effectively marked the end of Serbian power in the region, paving the way for Ottoman expansion into Europe. The nuclear battle against the 50 states by the executive branch of the US Government, will likely be regarded as the last large-scale crusade that continued from the Middle Ages, and one that proved not to stop the advance of the victorious Ottoman Turks.

If Israel/US/GB thinks they can control the ME via dividing it into small, powerless areas so Israel can call the shots, I think they are delusional.

With all of the assets and ordinance available in that area, it seems the only logical Explanation for us to not have destroyed all of that ISIS equipment is because we did not want to. The US Navy assets in the gulf could have ended that parade in 30 minutes if given the green light. Very odd.

Repost for Gunga:

Pat Buchanan is not someone I'd usually listen up to, but this article from 2003 made me sit up and reconsider his views. Very instructive, especially with hindsight now passing thru the prism of the 'surpRISE' of the ISIL/ISIS. PB names names and strategists:

Whose War? ?A neoconservative clique seeks to ensnare our country in a series of wars that are not in America’s interest. ?By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN • March 24, 2003
http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/whose-war/

"Podhoretz credits Eliot Cohen with the phrase “World War IV.” Bush was shortly thereafter seen carrying about a gift copy of Cohen’s book that celebrates civilian mastery of the military in times of war, as exhibited by such leaders as Winston Churchill and David Ben Gurion.?A list of the Middle East regimes that Podhoretz, Bennett, Ledeen, Netanyahu, and the Wall Street Journal regard as targets for destruction thus includes Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and “militant Islam.”?Cui Bono? For whose benefit these endless wars in a region that holds nothing vital to America save oil, which the Arabs must sell us to survive? Who would benefit from a war of civilizations between the West and Islam??Answer: one nation, one leader, one party. Israel, Sharon, Likud."

I believe this map of the Bernard Lewis Plan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Lewis) below predates the one referred to in the Global Research article referenced above <http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-destruction-and-political-fragmentation...

The Lewis Plan (2002?) - division of Iraq by international oil companies.

I saw some recent videos of USA hummers painted up in Al-Qaeda bacl with whitr lettering for Islamic slogans. I felt fullfilled. Knowing that the USA founded Al-Qaeda and funded it through it's heroic years of fighting the USSR in Afghanistan. 9/11 put them on the sit list for awhile, but then we invaded Iraq and cleared the way for mass Al-Qaeda formation inside Iraq. Then we funded the terroists to be our hit men in Syria. Arms, money and training were provided through Turkey and Jordan, so the US could really juice up their war machine. We bombed Libya to clear the way for Al-Qaeda to expand there and be recruited to join the Americcan Jihad in Syria.

Now. we left enough eqipment and arms in Iraq to equip Al-Qaeda and ISIS for decades going forward. This was done by both Republican and Democat presidents, with congress voting the Al-Qaeda funding and State department and CIA providing weapons, cash and trainers for all sorts of Jihadists loyal to America's goals. Sadly, the Assad Syrian Arab Army kicked the shit out of America's Al-Qaeda and Jihadists. Since they were beaten by the Arab Army of Syria, they flowed into Iraq and are now bent on taking over. America now claims this is bad, but these are the same men we just funded a few shirt months ago.

I want a show of hands. How many of you believe we taxpaying Americans should continue to fund the failure of our highly paid State department and our super highly paid CIA? Fuck ups like them are living nice lives off of our taxes and still keep fucking up everything they touch. Yet, we keep them all employed, we keep paying them huge salaries, full health care and big early retirement benefits. All this and they spy on all Americans as our reward for paying them huge amounts of our money.

In his monumental book While You Slept, John T. Flynn exposed the media bias favoring Chinese communists. Between 1943 and 1949, 22 pro-communist books appeared in the U.S. press, and only seven pro-Nationalist ones. Also, reported Flynn:

Every one of the 22 pro-Communist books, where reviewed, received glowing approval in the literary reviews, I have named — that is, in the New York Times, the Herald-Tribune, the Nation, the New Republic and the Saturday Review of Literature. And every one of the anti-Communist books was either roundly condemned or ignored in these same reviews.

The publishing business is part of captured American media. 

Any book, whatever the subject is much more likely to get published if the writer can squeeze in a reference to what we are never supposed to forget.

I find it interesting that Israel / Bibi has come out and said it backs ISIS that the US should stay out of it. Not that I care one way or the other about Israel but can't they see they're forging the nails that will one day seal that nations coffin.

B.S. - he never said such a thing and Israel has always maintained their strong anti-terrorist stance.

The airstrikes have been part of what has been at least a two-year Israeli campaign to destroy all Syrian air defense capability they can, especially those pesky Russian S-300 SAM sites and the supersonic P-800 anti-ship Yakhounts. The primary targets are Syrian costal defenses in the mountains around Tartus and Latakia in the North, and the line of low hills along the Golan DMZ in the South. Particularly those with Syrian listening posts and antiaircraft equipment. Jordan-trained Chechen terroists are thrown at all known anti-aircraft sites. Whatever they can't defeat is mysteriously bombed in the middle of the night from unknown aircraft, and the head-choppers are turned loose the next day for looting (and head-chopping).

Many of the Northern sites are destroyed. The last remaining Syrian defensive posts on the Golan border were around the town and border crossing of Quinetra. The head-choppers must have had a hard time there, so Israel used tanks to shell the stubborn Syrian postions and finished up with a few air raids.

The 'retaliation' aspect was an odd excuse. Israel hasn't even bothered with explainations for past raids. They just go in and bomb whatever they want. ISIL hasn't been anywhere near the Golan in months. That's the turf of the fake al Nusra guys commanded from Jordan. The fake ISIL in the South mostly left for Iraq so they wouldn't miss the big U.S. taxpayer-supplied military equipment Krazy Dayz sale and give-away. Prices are just too low to advertise. First-come, first-served.

I'm sorry, but I totally disagree with your take on their failure, see my post above. We are favoring the Sunnis now, with Saudi, and likely Israeli, backing. That is totally clear. This is our Caliphate army.

So to say that our politicians screwed up is false, in fact they have succeeded beyond their expectations. Anything, ANYTHING, for stable oil and petrodollars.

That said, I do disagree with their objectives and methods, as you apparently do as well.

Of course no one could possibly have expected this to happen.

I little known and hitherto fringe group of  nutters,  well contained by the chief in charge of all things military in the US, one certain Kenyan monkey had assured everyone all is hunky dory and bananas are free again.

And it was of course a shock to the MSM to the Kenyan monkey and all his little defense  chiefs and of course to the one Global All Seeing Eye, the NSA and of course its little sidekick the CIA.

Who could possibly expect a rag tag bunch of goat herders from the mountains to overrun a whole country practically in just a few days.

Except of course for one  teeensy little problem.

 

This wasn't some  bunch of insane goat herders driven mad by starvation and having their kids butchered by drones in the mountainous nether lands and deserts

This was planned, this was planned over not days or weeks or months, but possibly years, this took serious planning, logistics, and serious financial backing. This took  as much effort if not more than the Euro Energy Minister Mr Putin, expended on his little adventure in Crimea and   more than he is expending on the rest of the Ukraine.

This little gambit, was funded, financed and  coordinated by someone and by people who know what they are doing,  people who can take over haf of Iraq in just a few days are capable of taking over Afghanistan n a week.

But of course the dear old NSA was far too busy keeping his eyes in the sky and all his ears tuned to some little old lady in Tucson feeding birds illegally, are gathering snapshots surreptitiously of your neighbors  fucking  the wrong wife by hacking their cellphones.

Tschh they don't have time to look for any intelligence amongst such savages  as Iraqi goat herders or those who might be financing them like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Or their own  bunch of genocidal cunts all with Jewish names  and all billionaires and residing close to WDC and with filthy lucre dripping for every finger that is in every pie.

 And of course the CIA and the NSA weren't told to look the other way, and no one was paid off in congress  not to ask any questions and no one least of all the Kenyan Monkey had the faintest idea this possibly happen.

The fucking shit you hear about this fuck up makes me want to vomit.

If these fucking goat herders could could plan and organize a force to take over Iraq in just a few days in total secrecy then Hitler could have done the same with Europe in 1939.

Putin could have taken Ukraine in an hour and no one would have noticed. and China could annexe japan with  a single shot being fired.

Who the fuck is lying and who the fuck is the backers of this and if any moronic cunt says  anything different, that it could not be foreseen and there is no massive financial and planning backing to this then I tell you to fuck off and drop dead.

No.

They are channeling Sarqawi.  COL Kurtz of Hollywood's "Apocolypse Now" bears only a psychological resemblance to Kurtz of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness".

These executions are not good tactics.  They want to instill fear.  That's why they do it.  

But when they succeed in instilling fear, every hand will be raised against them.  There will be no surrenders, no changing of sides, everything will be to the death.

Virtually every society that conquered on those terms created so much resistance by the policy that they subsequently collapsed.  However, this is what the middle east learned from the Mongols. 

Eventually these kind of tactics turn into a genocide, where one side may technically survive, but will be so devastated that they cease to be relevant for centuries.  That is exactly what happened to the caliphate prior to the Abbasids...
