| [IraqiNews.com] A group of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) fighters on Friday got to the perimeter of an air base in Iraq where U.S. and coalition forces were training Iraqi forces before being killed by Iraqi armies, the Pentagon said. About 25 IS fighters, some wearing Iraqi uniforms, launched an attack on al-Asad air base in Iraq's Anbar Province, Pentagon front man Rear Admiral John Kirby said at a regular briefing. No coalition casualties had been reported so far, said Kirby, cautioning that reports were still preliminary. Kirby said that initial reports indicated that about 15 IS fighters tried to breach the perimeter of the air base after several jacket wallahs detonated their vests. Iraqi security forces patrolling the base killed all the fighters and U.S. Marines training Iraqi troops at the sprawling base were about 3.5 km away and were not involved in the fighting, he said. The front man, however, declined to offer details on the degree to which the perimeter was breached. Kirby also said IS fighters had taken control of al-Baghdadi, a town near the al-Asad air base. "This is arguably the first in at least a couple of months, if not more, where they have had any success at all at taking any new ground," he said. There are about 2,600 U.S. forces in Iraq, among whom about 450 are training Iraqi troops at three bases across the Arab country. Kirby said that American military trainees in Iraq were also well equipped to defend themselves when IS attacks were launched. |

| #2 Again, the US-Allies/West must defeat + destroy the ISIS now lest they be willing to face an Osama-, AQ, + ISIS-inspired Islamic Mahdi/ Messiah/Hidden Imam 2030-2050, along wid a potent Nuke-capable Nuclear Islam. IFF THE MEDIEVAL CRUSADERS OR THE WEST EVER FEARED SALADIN OR SULEIMAN, ETC. THEY W-I-L-L FEAR THE ABOVE. Lest we fergit, for the sake of the OWG-NWO, Anti-US Globalist agenda, the Anti-US US + West = JudeoChristian or Non-Muslim World is helping Islam to NUCLEARIZE, I.E. INTENTIONALLY MAKING MORE POWERFUL THAT FORCE(S) WHICH CAN EASILY TURN ON THE US-WEST + DESTROY IT. THE US-WEST MAY TRULY COME TO FEAR THE MONSTERS THEY HELPED OR DID EVERYTHING TO CREATE, BUT OVERTLY DENY DOING DO. |
