Thanks for telling us about this, it’s bad news anytime ISIS makes progress anywhere.(CNN) – ISIS captured – and raised its flag over – the provincial government building in the Iraqi city of Ramadi on Friday after an attack that included two suicide car bombings, a security source who just left the city and a civilian still inside the city told CNN on Friday. ISIS started a new offensive in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, on Thursday.
Once they take over Rhamadi, they will be in range to take over Baghdad. I doubt they will stop until they control Iraq. Would they not see it as a victory over America?foxnews.com/world/index.htmlhttp://
Car bombs were cleared their way to the city and a call has gone out for more Muslims to take up the fight. Palmyra next on list.
I do not believe Iran will allow ISIS to take over the whole of Baghdad, let alone the whole of Iraq. Iran has, with a minimum of effort and largely through its proxies, held ISIS at bay in southern iraq and in Syria. If the Iranian armed forces move against ISIS, ISIS will be quickly defeated everywhere but in urban areas in the Sunni lands, where guerilla fighting could go on for a very long time.Once they take over Rhamadi, they will be in range to take over Baghdad. I doubt they will stop until they control Iraq. Would they not see it as a victory over America?
They believe the Isis leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi , who is calling for all muslims to take up arms is alive.

In another day it could have been the sanheddrin better luck next time drone on!You,re missing the point they,re destroying everymans culture and history.It has to be destroyed because its heretical even before their religion was invented.I do think the rumors are true that " BagDaddy" survived. Sometimes even our drones miss! Better luck next time.
ISIS is supported by the local Sunni population who previously supported the Sunni regime of Saddam Hussein overthrown by the US-led forces.I do think the rumors are true that " BagDaddy" survived. Sometimes even our drones miss! Better luck next time.
Are you saying “all” local population Sunnis support ISIS? Apparently but I don’t think you can find a source that says that. Hence, only speculation.ISIS is supported by the local Sunni population who previously supported the Sunni regime of Saddam Hussein overthrown by the US-led forces.
The GuardianPrincipally, Isis is the product of a genocide that continued unabated as the world stood back and watched. It is the illegitimate child born of pure hate and pure fear – the result of 200,000 murdered Syrians and of millions more displaced and divorced from their hopes and dreams. Isis’s rise is also a reminder of how Bashar al-Assad’s Machiavellian embrace of al-Qaida would come back to haunt him.
ISIS grew out of the discontent of Sunnis who felt alienated by the US invasion of Iraq which favored the Shiites. ISIS has been finding support from the local Sunnis in the region.See the above as to where ISIS comes from.
This is wrong on its face. ISIS’ origin was in Syria, where it became the dominant of a number of factions opposing the Assad regime. In that sense, it is more a reaction to Iranian influence than anything else.ISIS grew out of the discontent of Sunnis who felt alienated by the US invasion of Iraq which favored the Shiites. ISIS has been finding support from the local Sunnis in the region.
Noted, I asked for back up and you gave none. Just speculation on your behalf.ISIS grew out of the discontent of Sunnis who felt alienated by the US invasion of Iraq which favored the Shiites. ISIS has been finding support from the local Sunnis in the region.
Syria and Iran decided to do everything they could to bog down the Americans in Iraq to discourage Washington from launching any new wars in the Middle East.
Syria unleashed Islamic militants into Iraq. The repressive regime in Damascus had many extremists in its prisons. Saddam did the same thing, emptying his jails before the Americans invaded. I remember seeing Islamic radicals walking around Baghdad in the weeks before the American war.
nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/washington-risks-falling-syrias-isis-strategy-again-n202841By 2004, the Islamic militants were doing what was expected of them. They were fighting American troops. They were blowing themselves up at checkpoints. They were creating what in the early days U.S. troops called the “insurgency.” Back then, most of the Islamic militants, especially foreign fighters, flowing into Iraq came though Syria. The border was open to them.
Not true according to US intelligence officials who say it began in Iraq.This is wrong on its face. ISIS’ origin was in Syria, .
The group Jama’at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad under the Jordanian Salafi (Sunni Muslim) Abu Musab al-Zarqawi began suicide attacks on Shiite mosques following the US led invasion of Iraq. The group changed its name to Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn (تنظيم قاعدة الجهاد في بلاد الرافدين, and continued its attacks on Shiite civilians and other Shiite targets and American convoys. Ayman al-Zawahiri wrote a letter to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi giving his support to establishing an Islamic caliphate. In 2006, a US airstrike killed al-Zarqawi, but he was succeeded by Abu Ayyub al-Masri who continued to lead the group known that time as Al-Qaeda of Iraq.Noted, I asked for back up and you gave none. Just speculation on your behalf.
Well, one could also say it began in Egypt; the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood which engendered AQ, which engendered ISIS. But the fact is ISIS as an organization first gained significant military power in Syria and moved from there to Iraq.Not true according to US intelligence officials who say it began in Iraq.
