#2  Obama and Hillary bailed oui on Iraq in 2011 just in time for the 2012 election. No consideration given to any real-world consequences other than power politics in the US. They were warned. Who will now hold them responsible for this? Not the lapdog US press apparently.

#1  Iraqi Parliament speaker Usama al-Nujaifi said the terrorists are now setting their sight on Salahuddin, a province just north of Baghdad.

“They have already seized the Shergat air base in Salahuddin”, Nujaifi said, adding that terrorists laid their hands on weapon depots, heavy equipment and army helicopters from abandoned army bases in Mosul.
