ISIS Claims It Hit US Embassy In Baghdad's Green Zone
"They know Baghdad. They've lived in Baghdad," said Lt.Col Oliver North, warning over the weekend that sources in Iraq believed ISIS was planning a "major attack" against the embassy in Baghdad. Yesterday we get some confirmation - via ISIS - that they did in fact reportedly strike the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. As Inquisitr reports, on Tuesday the Islamist militant group took credit for a mortar attack against the embassy in Baghdad. The group bragged about the attack on social media, claiming that there were likely casualties - “Four rockets strike Green Zone in #Baghdad; helicopters hovering over the Green Zone; ambulances heading that way after strikes!!” one ISIS militant noted on Twitter. As North concludes, "They are at the gates of Baghdad. They’re coming for us."

ISIS has reportedly struck the U.S. embassy in Baghdad in what could be the furthers incursion yet into Iraq’s capital.
On Tuesday the Islamist militant group took credit for a mortar attack against the embassy in Baghdad. The group bragged about the attack on social media, claiming that there were likely casualties.
...
ISIS has been increasing its attacks on Baghdad in recent weeks, including a wave of car bomb and mortar attacks on Sunday that left at least 150 people killed. Four car bombs exploded in Shia districts of Baghdad, leaving 36 people dead and 98 wounded in a span of two hours.
ISIS fighters have been encamped in suburbs surrounding Baghdad, and earlier this month sent four mortar shells into the Green Zone, the heavily protected location of the U.S. Embassy and other government buildings.
This is likely no surprise as Lt.Col Oliver North has warned...that sources in Iraq believed ISIS was planning a “major attack” against the embassy in Baghdad.
“They know Baghdad. They’ve lived in Baghdad,” North said of the militants reportedly planning the attack.
They are at the gates of Baghdad. They’re coming for us,” he added.
But North’s predictions were also tinged in political criticism, as he used the prediction as a way to attack President Obama and allege a conspiracy to let ISIS take over Iraq for his own benefit.
“I don’t think he gives a d**n,” North said. “I think he’s hoping that he can hold the lid on this until after this election so it won’t be just another disaster for this administration.”

re. ISIS: Should we not be proud that American weapons and American troops (well, American surrogate troops one could call these U.S. equipped and trained terrorists) prove to be a superior fighting force? Obama at least did something well...creating a superior fighting force. Too bad they are not on our side (too bad Obama isn't either).
Nice job Obama and Bush... you pissed away our treasury for what?
Something had to be done to justify NDAA and NSA overwatch.
note to Oliver North, there is no us....
I wonder how all those servicemen feel whose friends got killed or broken in that shit hole? Not to mention the years they wasted.
It is a giant bullshit sandwich.
If you want some indication how those men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan feel just think about the last time you heard of any recent president visiting wounded soldiers ? They would have to wear a spit shield, at least, which wouldn't make for great PR. My guess is that there would be plenty of ziplocks full of poo waiting for a presidential visit - and they know it. Then of course the government would have to arrest them and try them for assaulting the president - more bad PR.
So - all these noble souls who were so badly used are on their own and shit out of luck. Period.
Which raises the question: when are these brave, if somewhat misguided, men and women going to wake up and start defending the Constitution that they swore an oath to defend?
I can't help but feeling sympathetic towards ISIS.
Benghazi-Part II. Coming soon.
Looks much nicer than Chi-Raq, even after the attack.
How in the hell, are men like Oliver North and Kissinger advising anyone in America on anything? You cannot make this stuff up. Calligula for president, it's only consistent.
Benghazi
Failure to make gov accountable for its actions and coverup, rearmed jihad
Syria + Iraq = Syraq
QUICKSAND TO HELL
Let them mass at the gates, then drop a daisy cutter on them.
Send in the AC-130.
Napalm.
The possibilities are endless.
Dont worry
The money (33 tons of Gold) looted by USA from Ukraine was sold to Iraq and money made but the 33 tons still remains with USA (force majeure)
Dont worry ; Be happy
'cause we have the money

yawn
