An Iraqi tribal leader said Saturday that ISIS militants are gaining ground in Anbar province, predicting a "collapse within hours" of Iraqi army forces there if tribal forces withdraw.Personal Rant.
Sheikh Naim al-Gaoud, a Sunni Muslim leader of the Albu Nimr tribe, called for more U.S. intervention -- including ground troops, arming tribes directly or at least pressuring the Iraqi government to give the tribes more firepower.
While U.S. officials have said that ISIS, which calls itself the Islamic State, is on the defensive in Iraq and Syria, al-Gaoud says that's definitely not the case where he is.
"In Anbar, we are losing ground, not gaining," he said.
I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THE IRAQI's! They are arrogant beyond belief but can't fight to save their lives and have the audacity to demand more US intervention....after they fucking insisted that we get out of their country.
FUCK THEM ALL. Let ISIS go crazy then nuke the entire fucking country from orbit.
Rant off.

After a frantic manhunt involving "all the country's police forces," Danish police say they've killed the man they believe is responsible for a pair of possible terrorist attacks that left two people dead.Oh I have a rant about this one too but I won't go there.
"As a nation, we have experienced a series of hours we will never forget," Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt said Sunday.
"We have tasted the ugly taste of fear and powerlessness that terror would like to create. But we have also, as a society, answered back."
Let's just say that "pretty words" after a terrorist attack has been committed does not solve the problem. Neither does political correctness.
The world is burning boys.
