Iraq Airstrikes Begin Despite Warning ISIS Retaliation Could Put Baghdad Underwater
Pentagon Press Secretary Admiral John Kirby confirms:
- *U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT STRIKE ISLAMIC STATE ARTILLERY: PENTAGON
- *STRIKE CONDUCTED BY 2 F-18A AIRCRAFT DROPPING 500 LB BOMBS
- *U.S. CONDUCTED AIRSTRIKE IN IRAQ AT 6:45 EASTERN: PENTAGON
We anxiously await ISIS' response which - as the State Department warns "could leave Mosul under 100 feet of water."
The aistrikes begin...
US military aircraft conduct strike on ISIL artillery. Artillery was used against Kurdish forces defending Erbil, near US personnel.
— Rear Adm. John Kirby (@PentagonPresSec) August 8, 2014
The retaliation awaits...
.@StateDept confirms #ISIS taken Mosul dam. Threatens entire Tigris plain: could put Mosul under 100 feet of water, Baghdad 16 feet. #Iraq
— Jon Williams (@WilliamsJon) August 8, 2014
As we first warned about the Dam over the weekend...
According to Al Arabia it is this "weakest link" that is now in play after ISIS took over Iraq's biggest dam unopposed by Kurdish fighters, who also lost three towns and an oilfield on Sunday to the Sunni militant group, witnesses said cited by Reuters.
Iraqi security officials said Wednesday that fighters for the
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria were advancing on the Haditha Dam, the
second-largest in Iraq.
Islamic State fighters seized control of Iraq's biggest dam, an oilfield and two more towns on Sunday after inflicting their first major defeat on Kurdish forces since sweeping through the region in June
Local officials said militants with the extremist group Islamic State took control of the towns of Zumar and Sinjar near the city of Mosul on Sunday, waging fierce clashes with Kurdish forces.
The French news agency AFP quoted a United Nations spokesman saying 200,000 people have fled Sinjar and said there are grave concerns for their safety.
It gets worse: control of the dam could give ISIS, which has threatened to march on Baghdad, the ability to flood major cities.

And if Baghdad does indeed fall, all those recent Crude shorts will be less than happy.

Constitution? What constitution?
The trap has been sprung
Ha ha ISIS folks, you fucked up, you trusted us/McCain.
Bullish - artillery, flooding, new dams, rebuilding
Another day, another war opening up. Gone are the days when the head puppet appeared before the sheeple and explained why he was making war.
I am told by a bunch of liberal blogs and liberal pundits on teevee that this is the right thing to do.
...
IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO, Y'ALL!
Because Obama.
Iraqis don't surf, son!
Wait wait wait wait....
Olama said yesterday that strikes were going to be against "Convoys"
So now artillery positions (US material, BTW) constitute convoys.
Yeah, they're just not moving.
Oh, OK
What about no "boots on the ground"?
Oh, they'll be wearing tennies, flip flops, penny loafers, drag high heels and golf spikes.
Oh, OK
What about "American troops"
Well, they're not really troops, they're mercenaries.
Oh OK
Makes sense, no?
No
Inside every ISIS/L terrorist is an American trying to get out
ISIL Leader A Mossad Agent: French Report
This is a question I have been asking.
Because they're cowards and only prey on the weak.
Very rarely is there an instance when it is rational to pick a fight with an opponent that will probably beat you...
No, because ISIS is sponsored and trained by Israel, the US, Qatar and Saudi Arabia... That's why they haven't attacked Israel...
hello!
Interesting how the US indiscriminately bombs a country half way around the world with no direct attacks of even threat of attack on its own country. This, while it tells Israel, whos cities are being bombarded with rockets to show restraint. Maybe they should take their "peace negotiators" out of Israel and send them to Iraq. Maybe the US can sit down with the "freedom fighters" in Iraq and come to an amicable agreement.
Now wait a minute, isn't ISIS based on Islamic fundamentalism? Don't they believe they will be blessed with 72 virgins after this mortal life fighting a jihad? Winning for them is getting whacked in a jihad.
Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, .....
Does Israel have oil?
No, but they have something better... All Israel has to do is sneeze and the CFR will tell Obola to deploy the fleet...
@overdrawn,
as was pointed out possibly last week on one of the threads, oil and gas was found in 09 off gaza and eygpt. israel has a field called the aphrodite i believe. oil and gas are really fueling (pun intended) much of this. as an aside, i expect israel to be a conduit for food (wheat etc.) from US and EU to russia. israel during past sanctions has a history of facilitating.
No, no oil, yet. But they hold the biggest, meanest bitch at their leash ...(USA)
I LOL'd !
Biting brilliance !
"Iraqis don't surf, son!"
ROTFL! Iraqipocalypse Now?
Why would Libtards want to save Christian's?
As cover to bomb ISIS before they overrun Exxon staff and installations in Kurdistan.
"Iraq Air strikes Begin Despite Warning ISIS Retaliation Could Put Baghdad Underwater"
May be putting Baghdad Underwater is a US goal in the first place since Baghdad has no oil but has too many Arabs of wrong religion?After all ISIS is always was under CIA and Mossad control.
jim in MN
good to hear from you. regarding XOM---XOM and putin are launching the kara sea arctic probe today. XOM chief and putin are going to watch it side by side via a link up (see itar tass for details). so much for sanctions.
Save Christian's what?
They don't. It's all for show.
They should just drop pallets of $100 bills on them and cut out the middlemen.
Hey be fairat least the head puppet announced it on twitter!
Hahaha so very fucked we are.
Flooding and mayhem. Akin to broken windows! Bullish on Iraq! Buy Buy Buy!
Maybe that was the NWO plan all along.

Take away a dictator, this shit happens.
Some people* and cultures NEED a strong hand to keep them focused and exhibiting a modicum of civilizational attributes.
Take away the rigid structure, and SURPRISE! You get chaos, and war.

Drudge Report has a link to an article claiming ISIS is beheading children. If true, expect Obongo to send in the cavalry to cover up his disastrous handling of ISIS, formerly CIA funded Syrian freedom fighters and before that CIA funded Libyan freedom fighters.
That's when the real fun begins... When CIA spook-led ISIS troops go up against US regular Army... Nothing like hedging both sides of a conflict as after all, never let a good crisis go to waste... Bound to be some Dem fundraising taking place on this very topic...
Are you swooning to the predictive programming of all the 'flood' metaphors in the movies, news, traditional and new age (aquarius) religions these days?
Didn't 'Noah' float about in these neck of the woods? Looks like Noah is the past, present and the future. The pendejo has a time machine! </sarc>
Multiple suggestions; actual floods, the flood of 'mon'ey (moon flood goddess diana, etc), 'currency' (current), finance (fiance) for the 'wedding' (wetting). And no, I didn't invent this nonsense!
The Christians are being baptized in their own blood by ISIS (IRIS=EYE, ISIS=ISIS HORUS SET, I=9 S=19 =919919 suggesting 911), while the rest of the crowd is soon to meet John the Baptist. Yeah, I know, roll your eyes. I do. The mass subjective mind doesn't reason, it only absorbs, and finds a way to manifest.

The US starts this sortie and the downside allows for the possibility that ISIS will put Baghdad (US embassy) will be under water?
Fuck, who writes these scripts?
Sounds like the BarryO administration has determined that damn has to be destroyed. I wonder where the satellites and radar will be pointed during the next bombing run??
I bet the US F-16's will be targeting the dam!

Well played, sir.
They had to do it to "save the people"... I hope the Chinese get the contract to rebuild the dam if the US blows it up...

When was the last time they had a good bath in Iraq? Airdrop bars of soap.
Something is weird about this entire situation; just can't put my finger on it.
you can't without getting stink finger, and not the good kind either.
Yeah. We're fighting who we created as allies and then became enemies somehow in the dark and windy nighttime of the clutter and fog of brilliant strategic diplomacy and statesmanship, always conscious of who is on whose side, who the enemies of our friends and enemies are, impartial (as in stone fucking deaf) to any cultural differences between folks, treating everybody exactly equal, culminating in mankind's greatest clusterfuck since Satan split off from God hisself. And we have no fucking idea whatsoever whose side we're even on let alone rooting for or for what purpose.
OK?
That pretty much nailed it, Knucks.
It just sucks that we payed to have all those people killed in Iraq, in Syria, in Lybia, in Lebanon, and in Gaza and in the West Bank, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan and Afghanistan and Ukraine.
Well, if the US keeps sending buckaroo bucks to every muslim in the ME, we're bound to make some friends somewhere, right?
I was wondering what the hell was happening. Thanks for the explanation. No sarcasm intended.
There is nothing weird.
Just follow the oil.
People interviewed across different networks last night said ISIS cells were EVERYWHERE in the US just waiting for a signal.
No, this isn't going to be planes flown into skyscrapers, but hundreds of 'Boston bomber' types simultaneously blowing up hundreds of gas stations.
I'm sure it'll be spun as bullish because it WASN'T planes flown into skyscrapers...
They have to turn up the fear to get support for this Iraq clusterfuk again.
Right? blow shit up in Merica" so we need to go to a foreign land to stop the local boys and a moose needs a hat rack.

Those guys are just as likely to blow themselves up as they are any stations.
How much you wanna bet they target gun free zones.
Thats what all the lunatics do ;-)
Gun free zones mean YOU can't have one....but everyone else can.
Yes, all you have to do is "obey the law." Be a good little victim, just call 911 as you bleed out, afterall, they're only minutes away when seconds really matter.
Morticians need work too ;-)
Well, as long as Marthas Vineyard isn't targeted. Honestly, how can Obama even think of going on vacation with everything that is going on?
Not to worry, he's constantly de-briefed on every hole while out on the golf course.
Only took Obama two months to get organized. I guess he finally realized the guys he paid, equipped, and trained have no interest in following his lead. So much for delusions of being a political power player. I feel bad for the CIA guys in the field who are leading these monkeys.
I find it strangely difficult to feel bad for anyone 'working' in the CIA.
Well, it seems our foreign policy is going swimmingly.
Maybe the third time is a charm?

Nothing new if the dam is breached in Iraq. In US 30 % of homes are underwater

Strikes in ERBIL.
The Christians they are supposed to be rescuing are NOT in Erbil.
What's in ERBIL?
US personnel who are SURROUNDED by ISIS.
There was fixing to be massive slaughter, and Barry didn't want footage of dead Americans and Americans being decapitated plastered over the internet.
Hence the quick action.

Looks like the spooks removed that webpage
Good catch. I missed that, myself.

Ahhh..was wondering where the sudden out of left field deciscion to drop more peace bombs came from...Good "eye" pun intended.
perfect A
israel gone rogue
understanding that if slaughter did come to to us personnel.
muslims get the blame.
never any talk of who is patching isis up when they get shot who is funding.
But..but, what about the oil? Could this crisis spike WTI stagnant price index?
It would be helpful if American energy demand was not dropping.
That spike to 140 was while Bush was filling the SPR. Basicly manipulating the oil price with government money. It went under 50 while he was dumping from the SPR. That whole episode was a planned pump and dump. So look for an SPR refill as a sure sign of an oil rally. Other than that, they could give up on propping the USD up.
Agreed. Forgot my sarcasm tag. I have a warped sense of humor. What else can we do but make jokes, their time is about expired. Winks.
Hey this is the guy who got Osama. We are in good hands.
President Kidney Failure?
You only die twice, now playing at a cinema near you.
Sounds like a reason to buy stowwcckkss.
Why is it so difficult to kill people riding camels? A single A-10 could probably kill the entire ISIS threat.
They are riding heavily-armored US humvees captured at Mosul. And shooting US weapons as well. A complete goat screw as they also have captured women and children which are now in the line of fire.
So, ironically, ISIS by being the butchering fanatical fucktards they are, may end up saving the Christians of Mosul who refused to renounce their faith or be taxed for it and subjugated as second class citizens of an Islamic caliphate who instead fled into the surrounding mountains while possibly killing millions of "their Sunni brothers"?
The Lord works in mysterious ways ;-)

Logical to think, ISIS will also want to retaliate against US global interests too ?
War on terror 2.0 just kicked off for the next decade.
If the terror threat to Western life seemed to be deminishing these last few years, this should ? ignite a call to arms for extremists.
Biggests test to our security services coming up. Long term solutions anyone ?
If you peer around our world, it's not exactly peaceful is it ? If anything, I sense we're in an escalation of viloence in our world, not any descalation .
I hope our Western politicians and the Foreign offices know what they're doing in terms of the ' management of foreign nations ' .
Good luck.

EVERY PLACE ISIS CONQUER IS BECAUSE OF STAND DOWN.

they are trained by israel they where told to stand down that is what they did.

ISIS Members Calling For Attack On US Interests Worldwide After Start Of Airstrikes In Iraq.
US military aircraft have conducted an airstrike on artillery used by the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). Rear Admiral John Kirby said the attack took place to help defend Kurdish forces near Erbil, Iraq.

I doubt they blow up the dam. They expect to takeover the country. You don't want to own flooded property without water or electricity.
But it's for the Caliphate.
Ethnic cleansing writ large.
Talk about making your mark, making history, showing them who is who, getting rid of the opposition in one fell swoop.
Yeah, they wanna do it. It's so religious.
This is about faith, not electricity. They destroyed historic sites who survived every other dictatorship for milleniums and you think they wouldn't blow a dam?
Thing is "they" are not always the "they" you think they are. Sometimes "they" get infiltrated by "them."
You really think a Palestinian Hamas member launched those three rockets that were all over the news yesterday? Or someone who could be cast as one?
False-flags are everywhere.
Besides, popping that damn would provide perfect cover for the news that Ukrainian aircraft shot-down MH17.
I just checked the forecast. It calls for fog. Lots and lots of fog.
OF course Hamas or such launched the rockets, they are so stupid they keep fighting a losing battle instead of serious peace negotiations which would leave the Israelis with their pants around their ankles.
Dam-nation.
Wonder if Obama blows Reggie like a dam.
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to leave the $250 billion worth of military equipment in Iraq 'cuz' its too 'expensive' to bring back to the US.
dup. sorry
IF ISIS is, really, owned by America, as some say, it would explain a few things. That's still a very big IF.

Who do the Kurds sell oil to? Just a hunch that this is more about oil than humanitarian concerns.
The U.S. has a large embassy in the Kurdish capital, 30 mins from the front lines.
