Central Command (CENTCOM) before they knew Ramadi had fallen to ISIS

Ramadi fell to ISIS in a battle that ran from early May 14th through into the 15th. Americans from the Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter down to talk radio meth heads blamed the Iraqi soldiers: “I hope they develop the will to fight.” Then it came out that US Air...

UPDATE: CENTCOM watched 30 ISIS truck bombs roll on Ramadi and did nothing. May 14th? A bloodbath

See evil. This goes to May 14th when the U.S. military does surveillance and gets all the proper details: how many truck bombs, how many ISIS fighters came in, how many guns. How the attacks formed up. Then they did nothing about it. Same on the 15th. On the 16th...

Here's the conversation in Wall Street Journal: Iraqi security forces and their U.S. partners are divided about where to next confront Islamic State after their victory over the extremist group in Tikrit last week.

M198 rules !! Coalition occupies Tikrit for a dozen casualties. 200 ISIS dead, no in-city prisoners

Of course the Department of Defense claimed this is “with American help.” A handful of smart missiles hit targets, but the big help was the old M198 155mm field guns. The contested area was the southwest section of the city. The Iraqi-Iranian battle plan formed up a couple weeks ago...

I got a ride in a Time Machine !! Back to when CIA re-pitched Iran as “Ming the Merciless”

Even later as ISIS and all the lovely Muslim Brotherhood death squads… “Free Syrian Army”… wouldn't do. So of course, what else? Iran became the new monster state. Words from Mahmoud...
