Reports Monday said that Islamist fighters for ISIS, the Islamic State, which has already conquered large areas of Lebanon and Iraq, are at the gates of Baghdad. Despite the aerial attacks being carried out by the US and its allies, the group's fighters have been steadily progressing, and are said to be barely a mile from the city. The report in the Independent newspaper, published in London, quoted officials of the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East.

According to the officials, Islamic State terrorists could basically enter the city at will, as there is little substantial defense to prevent them from doing so. "The Islamic State are now less than 2km away from entering Baghdad," the spokesperson said. “They said it could never happen and now it almost has. [uS President Barack] Obama says he overestimated what the Iraqi Army could do," the report quoted the spokesperson as saying.

Obama indeed made that admission Sunday night, in an interview broadcast on CBS news program 60 Minutes. “Over the past couple of years, during the chaos of the Syrian civil war, where essentially you have huge swathes of the country that are completely ungoverned," the president said, Islamic State was "able to reconstitute themselves and take advantage of that chaos.

"This became ground zero for jihadists around the world," Obama said of Syria, where Islamic State now controls territory in the east around on the city of Raqqa. “Where you've got states that are failing or in the midst of civil war, these kinds of organizations thrive," he said.

In a separate development over the weekend, the head of the Syrian Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front said that it would work with Islamic State to defeat the “Western infidels,” reports said. "Muslims will not watch while their sons are bombed. Your leaders will not be the only ones who would pay the price of the war. You will pay the heaviest price," he said, warning that the battle would be brought "to the hearts of your homes,” said Al-Nusra head Abu Mohamad al-Golani. "You should protect yourselves from this war by standing against the decisions of your rulers and stop them from bringing you the woes (of war)," he added, according to Reuters.

"We are in a long war. This war will not end in months nor years. This war could last for decades," group spokesman Abu Firas al-Suri said.

"It's not a war against Nusra Front, it's a war against Islam,” he added.

IS and the Al-Nusra Front share the same ideology and rigid Islamic beliefs, but they fell out during a power struggle and have been battling each other this past year.

Nusra Front is now coming under pressure from its own members to reconcile with Islamic State and join forces to fight what they describe as a "crusader" campaign against Islam.

Al-Nusra Front, whose leader pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri, has been heavily involved in the fighting in Syria as well as in neighboring Lebanon, where it has claimed responsibility for several bombings and has also threatened local Sunnis.

Most recently, members of the group kidnapped 45 Fijian UN peacekeepers and threatened to try them under Islamic law before ultimately releasing them.

[calkid11]

Thank you

[Lenape]

We all knew when  Obuma made all our Troops come out that the Job was not done...The Job we should have never been in..?  Now we are leaving 10,000 Troops in Afghanistan  so the Job can be done that we shouldn't be in but now we are are there...Again ...if you are going to spend the Live's of our Men and Women to not finish a Job you started....Thank You GWB

_{Republic of Iraq recorded their population at the end of 2013 at around 36,000,000.}

 

_{Number of ISIS fighters has swelled to as many as 31,500.}

 

_{Whats wrong with this picture?}

[Nelg]

I'm sure ISIS sent two pickups without their black flags waving, half a dozen in each vehicle dressed like their going shopping to drive up to the city limits. They get out hid behind the vehicles.  Meanwhile a couple of them use a camera and video the one of them dressed in black with a flag.  They knock on a couple of doors, run like the wind and start sending the video around to the media.  "We're at the gates! We're at the gates of Baghdad!"  

However, when they do start marching into Baghdad, they will line up the old, the children, and the women, in the front of the assault.  ISIS is vicious, but they are cowards that prey on the weak and defenseless.      

 

Funs over.  ISIS is marching army that CAN and MUST be stopped!  The Iraqi Army cannot wait.  The imbedded troops need to advise the IA to start firing the moment a Toyota pickup gets on the road.  And the allies flying in for strikes need to precision bomb all suspected targets for the next 20 days without a delay between raids.  

 

The ISIS mouth needs to be shut!   Permanently!!

We all knew when  Obuma made all our Troops come out that the Job was not done...The Job we should have never been in..?  Now we are leaving 10,000 Troops in Afghanistan  so the Job can be done that we shouldn't be in but now we are are there...Again ...if you are going to spend the Live's of our Men and Women to not finish a Job you started....Thank You GWB 

Tommy rot!  Stop blaming someone else.  Sounds just like the present president, what's his name.

Sadly I believe you are right. So frustrated with this President of ours. Al Qaeda is desimated huh? Al Qaeda by any other name is still Al Qaeda . Why haven't they stirred the pot of reasons why each faction dislikes each other so they destroy each other instead of Iraq. I just hate the idea of having to spill more American blood for real estate Americans already paid for in blood. S.O.B. 's.

[SnowGlobe7]

We need to post a price on each one of their heads...every ISIS member every Al Qaeda member.....and let countries contribute to the bounty.

 

It will be a whole lot less than what we are spending now...and it will save some live of our sons and daughters. 

 

I am sick of these ugly people preying on innocent people...ALL religion aside...it is WRONG!!!! 

 

Ok sorry..... I just am so mad today reading what some of the things they have done....and are so proud!! ughhhhh

Remember the Iraqi deck of cards with all of Husseins hoodlims on them......I think we need to do it again, with a dollar amount under their picture

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most-wanted_Iraqi_playing_cards

Funny...I was reading the list...may of sadams men ran off to Syria in 2012....HUMMMMMMM and ISIS was in.....Syria. 

 

UUUGGGGGGHHHHH
