Is ISIS funded by the CIA? - Islamists seize 4 Iraqi towns in just 2 days


"Do you feel liberated yet?"
  • The government lap-dog media never asks the question of where does ISIS get its money and weapons? 
  • The Russians and Iranians are backing Syria and Iraq.  By simple process of elimination that means American "allies" like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States and maybe the CIA are arming and funding the Islamist soldiers.  I don't know about you, but that makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over.


Sunni militants have seized another town in Iraq's western Anbar province - the fourth in two days.

Fighters of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis) captured Rutba, 90 miles (150km) east of Jordan's border, officials said.

They earlier seized a border crossing to Syria and two towns in western Iraq as they advance towards Baghdad reports the BBC.

The insurgents intend to capture the whole of the predominantly Sunni Anbar province, a spokesman told the BBC.

Sunni fighters, among them the jihadists of Isis, have taken large
swathes of western and northern Iraq.  For believers in massively
insane military spending, please note that the Islamists (just as in
Libya) conquer and hold territory with simple militarized pick up
trucks. . . . not with ungodly overpriced Humvees.

Iraq's government said on Sunday it had killed 40 militants in an air strike on the militant-held northern town of Tikrit, although witnesses said civilians died when a petrol station was hit.

US Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking in Cairo, said Isis' "ideology of violence and repression is a threat not only to Iraq but to the entire region".

Calling it a "critical moment", he urged Iraq's leaders "to rise above sectarian motivations and form a government that is united in its determination to meet the needs and speak to the demands of all of their people".

Earlier, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned the prospect of US intervention in Iraq, saying Washington's main intention was to keep Iraq within its own sphere of power.

Dismissing talk of sectarianism, he said: "The main dispute in Iraq is between those who want Iraq to join the US camp and those who seek an independent Iraq."

"Peace Brigades"

In a reflection of how intertwined the Syria and Iraq conflicts have become, thousands of Shiite Iraqi militiamen helping President Bashar Assad crush the Sunni-led uprising against him are returning home, putting a strain on the overstretched Syrian military as it struggles to retain territory it captures from rebels.
