Wanamgambo ISIS wakaribia lango la Baghdad, waua askari 1,000

[Ambiente Guru]

inasemekana wanamgambo wa ISIS wapo maili moja toka lango la jiji la Baghdad, Iraq. Jana wamewaua askari wa serikali ya Iraq takribani 1,000.

Fierce fighting has been reported on the outskirts of Baghdad where ISIS militants are attempting to seize control of the Iraqi capital - despite ongoing Western airstrikes against the terror group.

The fighting is taking place just one mile to the west of the city, with government forces desperately trying to hold off the militants, who allegedly killed up to 1,000 soldiers during clashes yesterday.

ISIS have held a number of towns and villages close to the Iraqi capital since earlier in the year, when government troops melted away following a lightning advance in the west of the country - enabling the terrorist group to seize further swaths of territory for their so-called caliphate.

Reports that ISIS militants are now just one mile from Baghdad came from the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East - an organisation supporting the work of Canon Andrew White, vicar of the city's St George's Church, the only Anglican church in Iraq.
In a message posted on Facebook, the group said: 'The Islamic State are now less than 2km away from entering Baghdad. They said it could never happen and now it almost has.

Obama says he overestimated what the Iraqi Army could do. Well you only need to be hear a very short while to know they can do very very little, they added.

The claims were backed up by Canon White himself, who shared the message just hours after he had earlier suggested the group were approximately six miles from the centre of Baghdad.
In a message he also posted on Facebook, Canon White had said: 'The Islamic State are now within 10km of entering Baghdad. Over a 1000 Iraqi troops were killed by them yesterday, things are so bad. As I said all the military air strikes are doing nothing. If ever we needed your prayer it is now.'

The militants are understood to have had their advance halted by airstrikes yesterday at Ameriyat Al-Falluja yesterday - a small city about 18 miles south of Fallujah and 40 miles west of Baghdad.

But the clashes did not force the bulk of the fighters - with many of them now having made their way to the Baghdad suburbs for this morning's fighting.

This proves the real failure of the security systems and intelligence agencies. UK troops reported that hey had no target and the situation in Iraq was overestimated! Let us wait and see the drama here!

IS advance' !!
The BBC's Mark Lowen, who is on the border, observed two huge explosions in the area on Monday.
He also reported that Turkish police had stopped hundreds of Turkish Kurds from crossing into Syria to join the defence of Kobane.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the conflict in Syria, said IS fighters were now within 5km (3 miles) of Kobane, the closest they have come since launching an offensive this month.
The jihadists also fired at least 15 rockets at the town centre, killing at least one person, it added.
Overnight, there were US-led air strikes on IS-controlled towns and villages in northern and eastern Syria.
One raid on a grain silo in Manbij, in Aleppo province, left several civilians dead, the Syrian Observatory's director Rami Abdul Rahman reported.

"They killed only civilians there, workers at the site. There was no IS inside," he told the Associated Press.
The entrance to the Conoco gas plant, Syria's largest, was also reportedly hit. The facility itself was not thought to be damaged.

President Obama’s said "no boots on the ground" in Iraq.Meanwhile Iraqi boots have not prevented ISIS incursions. Now Iraq Army still submitting themselves to Allah religion(ISIS). The new U.S.-trained Iraqi army collapsed without a fight in northern Iraq, surrendering arms and equipment to ISIS.

An alternative to U.S. boots in Iraq to repel ISIS is Arab boots, e.g., Jordanian, Saudi, and Egyptian combat footwear.
But these Arab countries also have a significant part of their religious public opinion in clandestine sympathy with ISIS. So these friendly Arab countries limit their military assistance to aerial bombing and strafing.

Qatar one of the participants maintains good relations with all manner of Islamist extremists. - the enemy of my enemy is my ally.It implies a war without an end. This has proved time and again to be the graveyard of US’s good intentions.

Maintaining No boots on the grounds and leave the fighting to others. The final outcome could be an unmitigated disaster for the U.S. and its European allies as ISIS gathers sympathy and support throughout the Middle East.

US has been at war in that part of the world for the past 13 years”,.If money and military might couldn't been used, US could better off . i.e That's is why Americans are exhausted unending war in the Middle East. The gruesome headlines in Nigeria, Syria, Israel, and other hotspots. The common thread is Muslims

History the best teacher: US Bombing of North Vietnam without boots on the ground did not prevent a humiliating U.S. defeat.
In Baghdad there are Anglican churches and Christians, that are going to be martyrs.

Pope Francis told the World Jewish Congress delegation (WJCD) : he believes we are in World War Three,” “But unlike the first two world wars, instead of happening all at once this war is coming in stages,” Christians are being killed while the world remains silent.

Francis and World Jewish Council President Ronald Lauder both condemned attacks against the world’s Christians, reports Haaretz, particularly in the Middle East, where extremists with the Islamic State (ISIS) have targeted Christians in Iraq and Syria.


“In the world, there is still great suffering,” the Pope told the delegation. “First it was your turn. Now it’s our turn.

How the US Helped ISIS Grow Into a Monster

In his new book, Patrick Cockburn writes that America's failed strategy will only make ISIS stronger.

This story first appeared on the TomDispatch website. This essay is excerpted from the first chapter of Patrick Cockburn's new book, The Jihadis Return: ISIS and the New Sunni Uprising, with special thanks to his publisher, OR Books. The first section is a new introduction written for TomDispatch.
There are extraordinary elements in the present US policy in Iraq and Syria that are attracting surprisingly little attention. In Iraq, the US is carrying out air strikes and sending in advisers and trainers to help beat back the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (better known as ISIS) on the Kurdish capital, Erbil. The US would presumably do the same if ISIS surrounds or attacks Baghdad. But in Syria, Washington's policy is the exact opposite: there the main opponent of ISIS is the Syrian government and the Syrian Kurds in their northern enclaves. Both are under attack from ISIS, which has taken about a third of the country, including most of its oil and gas production facilities.

But US, Western European, Saudi, and Arab Gulf policy is to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad, which happens to be the policy of ISIS and other jihadis in Syria. If Assad goes, then ISIS will be the beneficiary, since it is either defeating or absorbing the rest of the Syrian armed opposition. There is a pretense in Washington and elsewhere that there exists a "moderate" Syrian opposition being helped by the US, Qatar, Turkey, and the Saudis. It is, however, weak and getting more so by the day. Soon the new caliphate may stretch from the Iranian border to the Mediterranean and the only force that can possibly stop this from happening is the Syrian army.

The reality of US policy is to support the government of Iraq, but not Syria, against ISIS. But one reason that group has been able to grow so strong in Iraq is that it can draw on its resources and fighters in Syria. Not everything that went wrong in Iraq was the fault of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, as has now become the political and media consensus in the West. Iraqi politicians have been telling me for the last two years that foreign backing for the Sunni revolt in Syria would inevitably destabilize their country as well. This has now happened.
By continuing these contradictory policies in two countries, the US has ensured that ISIS can reinforce its fighters in Iraq from Syria and vice versa. So far, Washington has been successful in escaping blame for the rise of ISIS by putting all the blame on the Iraqi government. In fact, it has created a situation in which ISIS can survive and may well flourish.
