Iraqi government forces fled the country's second city yesterday as it was stormed by an al Qaeda group that torched buildings, seized weapons and set hundreds of prisoners free.


Security forces ran in terror from the city of Mosul after Islamic militants captured the city - raising black banners marking the Islamic State above seized security bases, police stations and government headquarters.

Dramatic photographs showed military vehicles ablaze last night after members of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) captured Mosul.

Fearing for their lives, hundreds of families fled the city - a majority Arab area with Assyrian, Turcoman and Kurdish minorities - in a bid to make it to safety.

The eventual fall of the city on Tuesday followed four days of fierce fighting in Mosul and the surrounding area - and came as government forces in the region appeared to collapse.

U.S. Owes Iraq Trillions For Making Illegal War

that's the result of US invention.

Strike anyone else as odd that these musloids go by 'ISIS'?.?.and the aggression began virtually concurrent with bergdahl's dad's statements claiming the white house for musloid jihad.

What would a couple of A-10's or a spooky do to that convoy of white toyotas blitzkrieging towards baghdad? The iraqi's have requested airstrikes, wouldn't take much to be a big help....but those are the musloid in chief's people in the white toyotas.

Edit to add: if the meandering band of plundering musloids identify themselves as ISIS, who will reveal themselves as OSIRIS and HORUS since things are getting a little 'funny' nowadays.

838. Iraq crisis (6/14/2014)

All of a sudden, Iraq is in crisis. The second biggest city is fallen. Baghdad is threatened.

Iraqi soldiers, police drop weapons, flee posts in portions of Mosul


CNN, Fri June 13, 2014

"I only ... saw armed people, but not Iraqi military," said resident Firas al-Maslawi of his drive through Mosul on Tuesday. "There was no presence of any government forces on the streets, the majority of their posts destroyed and manned by (Islamist militants)."

The numerous reports of police and soldiers running from their posts in Mosul raised the prospect that the Iraqi government did not either have the will or resources to win this and other fights.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/10/world/meast/iraq-violence/

Iraqi security forces, trained by Pentagon for years and well equipped with helicopters, tanks and armoured cars, vastly outnumber the jihadists, suddenly melted down in the face of ISIL rebels.

Consider Al Qaeda jihadists are created and supported by the US to deal with its dislikes (such like Libya’s Gaddafi and Syria’s Assad) and the current Iraq government is a puppet set up by US in Iraq war, both sides are US’ assets. I think it’s a drama conducted by the US. You can see the leadership of Iraqi troops gave up the city without any fight.

ISIS butchers leave 'roads lined with decapitated police and soldiers'

BySam Greenhilland Jill Reillyand Kieran Corcoran 12 June 2014


According to bitter Iraqi foot soldiers, their commanders slipped away in the night rather than mount a defence of the city.

One said: ‘Our leaders betrayed us. The commanders left the military behind. When we woke up, all the leaders had left.’

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2655977/ISIS-militants-march-Baghdad-trademark-bullet-head-gets-way-control-north.html#ixzz34ZB9A5qo

US inside group used to create a case, with which to ask for more power and money. E.g. the 911 attack has been created to get Patriot Act and two wars in Mid-East. What is it now for this Iraq crisis?


839. Iraqi crisis created to save dollar (6/18/2014)
In early June, Russia switches the oil payment from dollars to Euros.

Gazprom Signs Agreements to Switch from Dollars to Euros

Global Research, June 07, 2014

Gazprom Neft had signed additional agreements with consumers on a possible switch from dollars to euros for payments under contracts, the oil company’s head Alexander Dyukov told a press conference.

“Additional agreements of Gazprom Neft on the possibility to switch contracts from dollars to euros are signed. With Belarus, payments in rubles are agreed on,” he said.

Dyukov said nine of ten consumers had agreed to switch to euros.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/gazprom-signs-agreements-to-switch-from-dollars-to-euros/5386049

This is very important news. If people starting to abandon the dollar, US will be hurt seriously in economy. Yet the news was little reported by the mainstream media. Several days later, the ISIL rebel in Iraq activates an offensive. The puppet Iraqi government retreats without any resistance. As a result, the oil price goes up.

Oil prices spike as Iraq violence flares
By Mark Thompson @MarkThompsonCNN June 12, 2014

Oil prices spiked Thursday to levels not seen in nine months as escalating violence in Iraq sparked worries about crude exports.

Light crude oil futures touched $106 a barrel, up nearly 2% and the highest price since September 2013.

http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/12/news/oil-prices-iraq/

Since the money used in most oil trading is dollar, the higher oil price will force the buyer to keep more dollar in bank as purchasing power. It’s a big amount if future option is included. Manipulating oil price becomes a strategy to save the dollar. Iraq is a big country of oil production and exportation. Its political stability has huge influence to oil price. US has turned it into a switch to adjust the oil price.

"The official said 28 Iraqi Army Abrams had been damaged in fighting with militants, five of them suffering full armour penetration when hit by ATGMs. "

http://www.janes.com/article/39550/iraqi-abrams-losses-revealed

Maybe things are, or have been a little more intense in Iraq than we're being led to believe by western media.

"(BAGHDAD, Iraq) -- The Iraqi military ran out of Hellfire missiles six days ago, and though the U.S. is rushing more missiles into the country, Iraq has only two modified Cessna aircraft to launch them in their battle against the radical Islamic militia ISIS."

http://www.kabc.com/common/more.php?m=58&ts=1403453103&article=AF694168FA2011E3B51EFEFDADE6840A&mode=2

No wonder they're 'giving up', the "fix is on" and they darn well know it.

840. US keeps Iraq a battle field to adjust oil price (6/25/2014)

Since the recent Iraq crisis created by the US is to save dollar, US will maintain the current situation unchanged. A US craft carrier has been deployed in Mid-East, no air attack has done so far.

Analysis: Obama plan leaves Iraq mostly on its own

By LARA JAKES 6/20/2014

http://news.yahoo.com/analysis-obama-plan-leaves-iraq-mostly-own-040646350.html

Three hundred US military advisors were sent to Iraq. Their role likely is to instruct Iraqi troops to retreat from cities or oil fields when they want the oil price to go up. Or vice versa.

The US will turn Iraq into another battle field. Let Arabs fight Arabs. Decades ago, it was Saddam's Iraq vs. Iran. Now it will be Sunni's Iraq, Saudi, Qarda vs. Shiiti Iraq, Iran.

That's a strategy it used to play, just like it manipulates Democrats and Republicans in domestic politics.
