Maybe one of the Iraqi guys looked behind them and realized that his entire company was running away from one guy dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, flip-flops, and cargo shorts, waving his AK and screaming?

shyduck posted:Seems about right. There was somebody on CSPAN today talking about ISIS and how they've ran a big risk with spreading themselves thin. Exactly, ISIS is making claims to all of this territory but they have zero infrastructure to secure it (similar to the Iraq invasion I guess). They can cut people's heads off but it's only a matter of time. People don't want to put up with sharia law and while yeah, they're gaining ground, they have no coherent means of securing it.

Whip Slagcheek posted:We had no choice, Iraq and their retard Al-Maliki kicked us out. Get hosed. Just a reminder of how this went down: - The Surge had essentially eliminated Sunni sources of violence and the 'militants' remaining were generally Iranian proxies, if not straight up Iranian soldiers - Obama made it clear he was going to pull troops down to a token with rules of engagement that were going to ensure they'd never do anything, and at least publicly kept saying they'd be leaving by the next election cycle anyway - Maliki originally wanted several times more troops (IIRC it was like a 35-40k permanent garrison he was asking for) but that wasn't going to happen - The Iranians are for some strange reason anti-American and anti-people who cooperate with Americans, and Maliki looked like America Cooperator #1 - Maliki's priority top ten list was ten different variants of 'Don't let my Iranian masters have me whacked' - Maliki obviously couldn't go after Iranian proxies running around when they were technically supporting him, and the US administration refused to publicly admit they even existed, therefore - The pittance of remaining American troops would've been wholly inadequate to indirectly ensure Maliki's personal safety - The Iranians and the Shia really wanted to get back to the whole 'mass murder of Sunni' stuff that the Surge had irritatingly interrupted, and that was pretty much the only bone Maliki could throw For Maliki he had the option of keeping a handful of American soldiers around, accomplishing nothing, but keeping Iraq in the American media eye where he couldn't allow sectarian mischief, all while pissing off the Iranians - or puffing his chest out a little and making a show of standing up against the imperialists. The guy seriously was looking at a lifespan measurable in months, if he was lucky. Obama (and Clinton) on the other hand desperately wanted an excuse to pull troops out with token cover against inevitable 'cut and run' accusations. The whole 'remove American soldiers' immunity' thing was a sham that served both sides - no one seriously thinks the Iraqi govt cares that much about justice for its common people. But it was a bluff on Maliki's part to try to get Obama to commit to a higher troop number with more active involvement in security, and we called him on it - which is why the Iraqis started bitching bloody murder about us leaving practically immediately, while we were like LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU, GOT PLANES TO CATCH CIAO on the way out the door. So ya, Maliki was a retard but ya gotta be careful blaming him entirely for us leaving. Although it's pointless and gauche to say things like "if McCain'd been elected he wouldna' have let Maliki throw us out" since McCain didn't make a campaign plank out of leaving Maliki hanging out to dry in the first place.

Then I clicked on the link.... The Brown Menace posted:Not incorrect. I mean sure we'd all love to pretend that ISIS is the worst poo poo ever, and they actually are a strong contender, but ISIS is also very good at keeping up (sharia) law and order. They don't just randomly gently caress with people, and many of the freedoms they restrict are ones which the people they govern never used or intended to use anyway. For some, the crazy roaming sharia wannabe-caliphate is a better option than constantly being hounded by thieves and rapists, who effectively get scared away by ISIS' "scary motherfucker" aura. Not only was it what you posted, but you left out even more "holy poo poo  ".GIP is full of war criminals and murderers, but hey those ISIS guys aren't so bad...

"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter!" Edit: Periodiko posted:I know this is pretty basic stuff, but it's really strange to me watching mainstream US coverage how they use "terrorist" to describe ISIL. They're very clearly engaging in open warfare for territory, and they have aspirations for creating a state: clearly it would be way more descriptive to call them rebels, militants, or an army. On top of that, there's this obsession with tying them to Al-Qaeda - every commercial break teaser has "meet the group that was considered Too Extreme for Even Al-Qaeda", "meet the guy who fancies himself the next bin Laden." lol Whip Slagcheek fucked around with this message at 12:07 on Jun 14, 2014 |

It's not surprisingly tough to find articles from credible sources but it sounds like American contractors at Balad where/are in a hairy situation. As near as I can tell Iraqi Air Force flew them out after the base was surrounded. ISIS would pretty stupid to overrun and kill US contractors, it's pretty much they only thing they could do that would guarantee some type of response from the US.

I couldn't tell ya who was suicide bombing who but between the oodles of sleepy payroll'd militia watchmen, and lack of any clear objective for us since SOFA confined us more or less to the COP and IP stations, there was a feeling that absolutely nothing was going on. Even elections went by relatively quietly. I can't even recall hearing of any snipers after the new year, and they were doing alright for themselves in late '08. Aside from 1 random KIA and a checkpoint in Fallujah getting hit with a suicide bomber, poo poo was completely dull in '09.
