The End Of ISIS? Iraq Air Force Claims It Struck Islamic State Leader's Convoy

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Now that Obama is "debating" handing over the mess he created in Syria to Putin who in less than two years will have successfully expanded the Russian sphere of influence in both east Ukraine (and certainly the Crimea) and Syria - two nations where Samantha Power's plans for a CIA-led government overthrow have gone spectacularly bad - it means one thing: ISIS, as a pretext for US "humanitarian intervention" in the region, a CIA-created terrorist organization that must be wiped out, no longer needs to exist.

Which is why it was hardly surprising to read moments ago an Iraq military statement alleging that the country's air force has hit a convoy of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

To be sure like all trial balloons, this one had very few details: the fate of the IS leader was unknown, the statement said. The strike has not been independently confirmed. The attack is said to have happened in western Anbar province, near the Syrian border and so on.

Considering that many have speculated that the ISIS head bogeyman doesn't even exist, it would not be difficult to make him disappear once again.

The Iraqi air force "bombed the convoy of the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while he was heading to Karabla to attend a meeting" with Daesh (IS) commanders", Sunday's statement said.

"The location of the meeting was also bombed and many of the group's leaders were killed and wounded," it added.

The full google-translated statement below:

A statement from the Interior Ministry about the bombing of the criminal Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi convy

 

Interior Ministry bombed the criminal Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi convoy

 

Managed cell hawks intelligence of the Agency and the Interior Ministry of Intelligence and based on accurate intelligence and coordination directly with the leadership of the joint operations of the implementation of the heroic operation targeting terrorist criminal procession Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dissuade move the procession to Karabilah area to attend a meeting of the leaders of the terrorist organization criminal. Where the hawks managed cell planes bombed the meeting place and kill a lot of leadership and organization of the injured is still unknown where the development of al-Baghdadi was taken in haste laptop and his health is unknown so far and will be released later killed the terrorist organization names in this heroic operation.

As BBC adds, There have previously been reports that the IS leader has been killed or seriously injured in attacks, but none was subsequently confirmed.

Rumours about Baghdadi's death surfaced earlier this year, after reports that he had been seriously wounded in an air strike in March by the US-led coalition that is opposing IS.

Reports that he was injured in 2014 were inaccurate.

Baghdadi has been careful to reveal little about himself and his whereabouts, and even his own fighters reportedly do not speak about seeing him face-to-face.

His likely fate: a deja vu "capture" by US special forces in the coming years in a very public place, one which leads to another "burial at sea" where nobody gets to see the actual body, and where the members of the "capture" squad mysteriously suffer tragic fates.

For now, however, expect ISIS to gradually disappear from the mainstream media's front pages.

The Israelis and U.S. have funded, supported and protected MEK terrorists for over a decade and a half. They're protecting them now on a former Army base inside Iraq, and regularly recruit them for terrorist missions inside Iran like killing Iranian atomic engineers or leaders, or simply car-bombing a bunch of Iranian citizens.

There's absolutely nothing noble in their purpose - they want to be the top rats raping a destroyed Iran. They are a mafia without a territory to exploit waiting for their chance to return to a future destroyed Iran's fertile grounds for organized crime. They seek the overthrow of the Iranian government 'for freedom and democracy' so they can go in and set up their paramilitary mafia and start recruiting new gangsters for drugs, prostitution, kidnapping, extortion and policial graft. At present, they are little more than cowardly assassins hiding in their Iraqi enclave that are glad to take U.S. and Israeli money for murder and mayhem - as long as it's directed at killing Iranians.

MEK are pure homicidal psychopaths. They are as bad (if not worse) than al Nusra head-choppers becaue they are in it for money, not ideology. They should be exterminated from the face of the earth, but the CIA/Mossad won't allow that - those fuckers will use ANY tool at their disposal to terrorize Iran, including the MEK.

ISIS has never existed. It was a propaganda created organization to justify a US/NATO direct military intervention to Syria. Obama knows this and Putin knows this.

Even I don't like Putin but I must give him a credit. Putin easily understood that Obama and his puppeteers are scumbags and most important they are cowards. Now, US/NATO must negotiate/trade with Russia new worldwide political arrangements or go to a direct confrontation with Russia.

You can say that ISIS was created by the CIA, or at the very least supported by it...but to say that it doesn't exist is foolish. It quite obviously exists. The only question is, where it came from and who is behind it.

Who has Syria been fighting? The same people who were fighting in Syria before ISIS was invented.

After invading Iraq, US created a "new" Iraqi army: totally corrupt and unreliable. Accordingly Israeli sources, units of Iraqi arm-forces located in the Bagdad area are ignoring the Iraqi government orders to move out of the city and engage in any combat activities against antigovernment forces regardless who these terrorists are. Today, Iraq is another failed state similar to Libya.

In Syria the situation is somewhat different but Assad forces have a terrible man-pool available for recruitment. Did you see all these migrants running to EU? These are people who are running from being drafted into arm-forces. This is why US supports this migration: to bleed the Assad army to death. It is not the "old" 400,000-strong Syrian army. Today, it is more close to a 45-50 thousands army.

So the fighters are real and S Dog is just worried about what they are called.

I would agree.  The Iraqi army, or parts of it, are not only unreliable but could trun against Iraq and assist the west/ISIS/Massad.  And yes, simular to Libya.

The men are leaving Syria as you say.  They are not stupid.  They saw how ISIS was being supported by the west and Syria was not directly supported by Russia.  Now Russia has entered the fray but I doubt they are trusted and the Syrian men do not want to be cannon foder.  They only have to look at Iraq, Libya, Yemen and others to see how those men fared while being Russia's allies.  But 50k men is still sizeable.

Putin: "Do you really not understand as to who is fighting in Syria? They are mercenaries. Do you understand that they are paid money? Mercenaries fight for whichever side pays more. So they arm them and pay them a certain amount. I even know what these amounts are. So they fight, they have the arms, you can't get them to return the weapons at the end of course...Then they discover someone elsewhere pays a little more...So they go fight there. Then they occupy the oil fields. Wherever, in Iraq, Syria. They start extracting the oil - and this oil is purchased by somebody................I consider this absolutely unprofessional politics. It is not grounded in facts, in the real world........ We don't stand for this kind of politics of the US."

I suspect the report is true. Sophisticated communications monitoring that has been in place can now be used for actual targeting. The meeting was likely to plan how to disband and get out of this nightmare now that they have to fight. The entire CIA ISIS plan was to overthrow Assad in the beginning and were provided with massive financing and arms. When the Syrian army started shooting back and the plot spread out over a few months, ISiS turned east and partied all over Iraq since it didn't mean getting your head blown off. Now that heads are blown off daily and nowhere to run, it's time to bug out and disappear.

Russian Colonel: ISIS is a division of the CIA

ISIS: The jihadist movement stamped “Made in America”

The fact remains, however, that the US, the major European powers, and their regional allies all previously lent financial, military and political support to ISIS and similar groups, which have “Made in the USA” stamped all over them. They have, until now, played a significant part in Washington’s efforts to overthrow the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, as part of a broader effort to gain control of the region’s vast energy resources and transit routes.

I don't think so, they are certainly not going to start shooting down any Russian planes:-) Read below.

 

Commenting on the cruise missile strike conducted by the Russian Navy from the Caspian Sea against Islamic State positions in Syria being a surprise for US intelligence, Vladimir Putin said it’ wasn’t the time to throw brickbats at the American intelligence community.

 

“American intelligence is one of the most powerful in the world, yet it does not know everything – and should not for that matter,” Putin said. "Some of Russia’s missile strike systems are outdated so extensive rearmament with high-tech precision weapons is on its way,” Vladimir Putin said, stressing that, if threatened, Russia would make use of its most sophisticated weapons to maintain national security. However, he also added that “Russian foreign policy is truly peaceful, without any exaggeration.”

 

Immediately following the launch of Russian missiles from the Caspian Sea, the USA withdrew its aircraft carrier Theodor Roosevelt from the Persian Gulf, claiming that it is "for reasons of maintenance."

One thing I will say about this administration is that they are particularly good at creating and destroying boogeymen.  I find it fascinating how slow progress was against a terrorist organization that was more or less confined to an area smaller than the state of Pennsylvania that has no airforce.  Curiously though, as soon as Russia stepped in... 

So the question becomes, how many times are they going to kill this guy?  Are they going to rename him so it isn't as obvious?

As the Winston fellow mentioned - this may be more about water.  Sadly, Putin may have made a deal with Nuty yahoo to keep Syria away from there. 

The only good news is that Hezboolah may be able to keep them out of S Lebanon where the water is.  Unfortunately, Syria may never get the Golan back where there is some water.

Once Assad wins this war, (middle of next week), and consolidates power, he will confirm his alliance with Iraq and Iran. Some heads will roll, but it will al be a mop-up operation. Already, the attention of the Iranians returns to the Problem, ie the Palestinian issue. Jordan King Abdullah is shitting his pants, American and Israeli stooge that he is. The resolve of Assad will strengthen the resolve of Hezbollah and Hamas. Big Changes are afoot  to the south of Syria. The Israeli's as we speak, consider massive preemptive strike possibilities. The shit just gets more real. It will turn out that the ISIS war was just a skirmish. Yikes.

Things like this happen when you start messing with nations able to park a recon ship off your coast, have modern satellite capability, a world class intelligence service and a C130 sized spy plane that landed at the airport that you can't seem to locate its whereabouts now.

So, al Baghdadi is reported killed when his convoy was bombed whilst on his way to a meeting to discuss with his commanders what to do about the Russian bombing of his convoys and nike-trainer garbed fighters. Sounds about right.

This bit is hilarious:

"Rumours about Baghdadi's death surfaced earlier this year, after reports that he had been seriously wounded in an air strike in March by the US-led coalition that is opposing IS."

I wonder who spread the rumours about a US-led air strike against ISIS? ... ...

“The End Of ISIS? Iraq Air Force Claims It Struck Islamic State Leader's Convoy”

Such kind of organization doesn’t stop because of killed current leader – they simply appoint another one and everything continues as before. That has happened before.

 

 “Putin who in less than two years will have successfully expanded the Russian sphere of influence in both east Ukraine (and certainly the Crimea) and Syria”

- Criminal putin regime has turned two allies & brother nations – Georgia and Ukraine – in two enemies that will not forgive Russian aggression for next century. Criminal putin regime had plans in Ukraine to occupy, annex and create another Russian Federation subject with name Novorossiya. Today this project is closed. It’s fake referendum was no recognized by criminal putin regime, its fake elections in October was canceled and Kremlin talk about how these Minsk agreement 2 will be implemented -  that means Ukraine will take control back to it’s borders. That all because criminal putin regime can’t handle the Western sanctions and low oil prices. So putin regime has lost that battle. Yes, criminal putin regime managed to steal away Crimea because there was chaos in Ukraine at that time when people of Ukraine managed to remove criminal puppet ruled by putin regime. But still, sanctions on criminal putin regime will go on, until Crimea won’t go back to Ukraine. So actually criminal putin regime has not won anything in that front. Crimea is a bick black hole in Russia Federation budget.

 

Criminal putin regime needed to get away nations attention from lost war in Ukraine, so he started a news one in Syria. So now, criminal putin regime controlled main stream media doesn’t report about Ukraine, but about Syria. It’s even now not allowed to spoke about lost Novorossiya project. Such a shame for them. And what happened in Syria is no game changer. Ony show for criminal putin regime PR. Nothing more. Without real ground invasion – nothing can be accomplished there. Already Assad opposition that fights against ISIS and Assad regime – has decentralized it’s weaponry and fighting groups so that there are no real targets to hit by Russian aviation. That means – with no boots on the ground – no progress will be made for criminal putin regime if it wants to remove Assad opposition (as ISIS is not criminal putin regime target – for now).

Only thing criminal putin regime has shown in Syria is how inaccurate is it’s weaponry. 

And ruined relationship with Turkey  that could be partner for gas deal.

As Russia & China gas deal is postponed - now criminal putin regime is in trouble :)
