America to the rescue. US military begin airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq

Less than a day after US president Barack Obama authorized US airstrikes on Islamist militants, ISIS, in Iraq, American military jets have launched devastating air raids, killing many ISIS members.

This afternoon two F18 warplanes attacked ISIS and their vehicles with 500lb laser-guided bombs.

ISIS is said to be the most well equipped and richest terror group in the world after they sized weapons from Iraqi military and also took weapons left behind by the US after they left Iraq in 2011. Some months back, they attacked Iraqi central bank and took $400million in cash.

America has also dropped relief supplies to hundreds of thousands of non-Muslim who are trapped in Sinjar mountains after fleeing their homes following deadly attacks by ISIS.

    1. Must America do everything for us? And you seriously want airstrikes in Nigeria? Backwards African mentality. Boko Haram is political and the US obviously gains nothing by stopping boko haram. They only help those they can benefit from.
      Wake up Nigerians!

    4. See the stupid& ignorant way you think. Are you slave that your masters have to always do something for you? Is Nigeria a state in the US? Why should US carry Nigeria's problems on its head when the lazy Nigerians (including you ) refuse to protect their own territory due to gross laziness? We better wake up & stop being stupid& lazy in this country.

    3. Bona, I agree 100% with you. This word would have been a mess if not for that country. It would have been a case of dog eat dog, nations invading nations etc. But the fear of America and what their reactions would be keep these nations and their leaders in check. Forget about ignorant fools that won't hesitate to call u names when u talk about the indispensability and the important roles of the Americans in world affairs, j just like the ostrich, they have their heads stuck in the sand. Thank God for the US of A.

    4. Lol....African slave mentality. Study your history brother & find out things you would never see or hear in/on mainstream media. America actually covertly contributes to most of the chaos in the world cos it further strengthens them when the country(ies) in turmoil come begging big brother America to save them so they can in return reward America's "favour" with spoils of their country.
      God Bless Nigeria

  17. Thank God! I wept today when I watched a video of a Yazidi MP in the Iraqi parliament begging the government and the world to help her people. I wish Nigerian senators and Members were that passionate about their constituencies. May God help us all.

  22. Don't be fooled by appearances. ISIS was allowed to rise for a reason. The U.S. has been providing the Syrian rebels arms and money that they know full well is ending up in the hands of Jihadists.

    Pay attention! This is a set up. Remember who is allied with who, and who is funding who and quite a few pieces will snap into place.

  23. The Syrian Air Force killed the leader ISIS, Ibrahim Saatouf, at Al-Bab in #Aleppo Syria today.

    Meanwhile US govt are continuing to empower ISIS, play a major role in training and escorting ISIS affiliates over the Turkish border into invade Syria .. Millons of Syrians in Aleppo has had to put up with the worst of ISIS for 3+ years and noone in the US has battered an eyelid of concern over doing something about their govt on it!

  24. HERE WE GO AGAIN.

    Pentagon Chuck (Hagel) is saying they have “enough intel” to “launch effective airstrikes” against The Caliph’s goons IF, and I repeat, IF they threaten first of all the proverbial “US interests” and then, on second thought, maybe, the 40,000 Yazidi refugees.

    So the Pentagon insists it has the “assets and resources” to bomb by jet fighters or drones, all “based in the region”.

    Isn’t it lovely they didn’t have “enough intel”, not to mention all those “assets and resources” to bomb that convoy of gleaming white Toyotas parading in the desert in the first place?

    And isn’t it lovely that The Caliph turning Yazidis into refugees qualifies as a “potential” genocide, while Israel in Gaza and Kiev in Eastern Ukraine are just “defending themselves”?

    That rabble that passes for Obama’s “advisers” obviously did not read Patrick Cockburn. This is what the IS Caliphate is all about:

    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article39356.htm



    With a very important, extra clarification. The IS Caliphate is a monster created by Saudi “donors” with direct House of Saud connections; GCC petrodollars; and widely facilitated by Turkey. But Patrick does not take it to the next level, showing how IS perfectly delivers the US/Israel goods as in ME balkanization/Divide and Rule/perpetual chaos.

  25. Implausible Deniability - West's ISIS Terror Hordes in Iraq

    "The US has pledged assistance for victims of and even possible "airstrikes" against terrorists who

    have surrounded and threaten to eradicate thousands of religious minorities in Iraq. However, the

    terrorists themselves are a product of US foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa, and

    instrumental in achieving Western objectives across the region. Punitive strikes and aid to the victims

    of what is essentially a Western mercenary army is part of maintaining plausible deniability..."
