ISIS Holds Parade With Captured US Military Vehicles

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.

Best Presidential Joke of the Year

President Obama walked into the Bank of America to cash a check. As he approached the cashier he said, "Good morning Ma'am, could you please cash this check for me?"

Cashier:

"It would be my pleasure sir. Would you please show me your ID?"

Obama:

"Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Barack Obama, the President of the United States of AMERICA !!!!"

Cashier:

"Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the Dodd /Frank legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing your ID.

Obama:

"Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am."

Cashier:

"I am sorry Mr. President but these are the bank rules and I must follow them."

Obama:

"I order you to cash this check!"

Cashier:

"Look Mr. President, here is an example of what we can do. One day,  Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be  Tiger Woods and cashed his check.

Another time,  Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racquet and made a fabulous shot whereas the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his check.

So, Mr. President, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you, as the President of the United States ?"

Obama stands there thinking, and thinking, and finally says, "Honestly, I can't think of a single thing. I don't have a clue what to do.

Cashier:

"Will that be large or small bills, Mr. President?

Captured my ass, Obama gave that equipment to his Sunni Muslim brothers.....but "Busch did the same thin an both party's hour the same"

where is that brace of A 10"s when you need 'em. All lined up on the highway like that, would have been fun fun fun.

You'll notice of course these Jihadis weren't mowed down "highway of death" style by A10 Warthogs.

They're driving new Ford trucks and American battlewagons.

ISIS is Al Qeada. Al Qeada is CIA sanctioned and funded, as anyone with even the most remote understanding knows.

The question of course is, whose feet will be held to the fire over this?

The answer: no one.

Looks like we were writing the same point almost at the same time...but "I missed it by THAT much". ;-)

[gcjohns1971]

Possibly.

However, ISIS has Saudi fingerprints all over it in a way that it does not have CIA fingerprints, to include SA warning US politicos not to interfere with ISIS.

Saudi Arabia was burned by the US recently.  The terms of the Petrodollar pact were that domestic US production would be phased out, and the US would not export oil.

While a lot is said about shale's viability, its development is publicly and on record as of great concern to SA. SA has been trying to establish or capture a large replacement market for a handful of years now.  This is Geopolitics.  Almost nothing works the way people think it does.

The question here is this:

Is SA running ISIS at CIA request?  Or is CIA helping with ISIS at SA request?  Or is CIA helping ISIS completely separately from SA?

The speed of action is not surprising.  That is what collapsing corruption looks like.  The corrupt have no friends, only subjects.

This seems way too easy to be real...anyone else catching that? 

If the 'reach' of the west has truly become Tyrannosaurus Rex like this fast than we aren't going to have to wait too much longer for the petrodollar to collapse, the reserve currency status to vanish, and so on down the domino slide.  

It's pretty farcical in my opinion...but I guess Dick and co. in the neo-con/neo-lib/'progressive' camps ("a bigger 9-11 is going to happen") are just playing their last 'hope' card counting on enough sheep to still be asleep to leverage this in to some kind of clamp down phase before either the next election cycle or the impending economic implosion...or both of course in unison.

Whatyathink?
