The Iraqi Army celebrated the liberation of Mosul with a military parade at the Grand Celebrations Yard in the capital Baghdad. Iraq’s Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Haider al-Abadi attended the parade, with a number of commanders in the Iraqi Army and the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), along with Iraqi officials and ambassadors of several foreign countries.
The Iraqi government announced on Saturday that it’s investigating a video showing Iraqi security soldiers executing ISIS prisoners in Mosul. Several local and international organizations accused the Iraqi Army of committing war crimes against ISIS prisoners and civilians in Mosul after the liberation of the city.
Meanwhile, ISIS claimed that its fighters managed to repel an attack by Iraqi forces on the village of Imam Gharbi south of Qayarah. ISIS members reportedly destroyed 5 BMP-1 vehicles, a Humvee and killed 23 Iraqi soldiers during the clashes. Moreover, ISIS claimed to down a drone over the village of Imam Gharbi.
In Yusufiya, two ISIS suicide bombers attacked an Iraqi Army position. According to ISIS, the attack resulted in killing of 15 Iraqi soldiers.
The ISIS-linked News Agency Amaq published photos that show ISIS fighters targeting Iraqi Army bases in Al-Asmad area in Baiji, with a non-recoil rifle SPG-9.
Why can’t Iraqi’s see the shadow of the American boot……..about to kick them in the ass?
Cortez rolls the Aztecs with 500+ soldiers and 16 horses!.
The Almighty must have some legal contract on socio intelligence.
Sort of….”If millions of you. …can’t defeat…..hundreds of them…..you deserve the cruel outcome”.
Muslims are not learning
Allah is a cruel teacher….
But without the support of his Indian allies, all enemies of the Aztecs, nobody would have ever heard of Cortez. As his army that defeated the Aztecs was a hell of a lot more then just his 500 original men.
The real lesson of Cortez is if some new player enters the playing field you should be weary. For he may let you do the dirty work and then end up as the new top dog.
Sunni and Shia going after each other in Iraq after 2003 Invasion by US.
Suicide bombers in Mosques, …on bridges with 1000s of people crossing to some
Pilgrimage event.
Bodies dumped in Bagdad streets with knee caps drilled.
Obviously Cortez 2003 had no problem finding the weakness in Iraq’s socio.
Syria of 2012 was no different,….as Syrians turned on each other and pulled their
Nation down on themselves.
Tribal systems cannot survive vs an Organized Central power.
US lost a few battles to the First Nations people’s. ….Massacre of Gen Custer
By the Sioux at the Little Bighorn being among the famous.
IMO,…the Tribal Muslim nations have little chance vs the Organized Empire Invader.
Empire knows it’s game is exposed now in our instant info access age.
They obviously do not concern themselves. …as they run False Flag events with hired
Crisis actors who are really bad actors with velcro fake injured limbs falling off as the camera rolls : )
I was optimistic that Russia /Iran/Hezbollah would rescue Syria.
Today’s deals which leaves Invaders as occupiers is of Necissity in a reality
Where all players are opportunists.
3 years from now….can probably post the same question for Iraq and Syria,
IE. ….Why can’t they see the shadow of the boot about to kick their ass.
They used foreigners in both cases and according to a 2014 state department by the US there were over 16,000 that were mercenaries alone in Syria in one year. There was a huge influx of foreigners into Iraq and mostly supported by the west once the US placed themselves into power in Iraq fueling all the tension with outsiders . Welcome to classic Colonnialism at its finest , this type of tactic is nothing new it is generally used to get a desired effect . Saddam saw no value in attacking Syria and refused hence why he was killed by US specfor units.
Iraq was never tribal they were just another secular nation albeit with a dictator , Saddam’s is related to Kurds and wasn’t prone to use gas on anyone . The US uses tribal mercenaries and that is their downfall . Iraq might be Shia led the only ones with an issue are the US and its allies, since they fear the wrong group and not the Wahhabi which they should.
