Op-ed:
By the Thousands They Flee                                               
By: Diane Sori
 
"I'm glad to get rid of these five people."
Harry Reid's response to the release of the GITMO 5 for one Bowe Bergdahl

Sadly and against intelligence orders, back in 2009, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was released by Obama from Camp Bucca in Iraq. And now reported to be in Iraq is Mullah Mohammed Fazi...one of the GITMO 5 Obama 'exchanged' for the American traitor Bowe Bergdahl...and done so without Congressional approval I might add...and it's rumored the two are now working together to establish the islamic caliphate and to kill all who get in their way.

And so it becomes even more obvious that Barack HUSSEIN Obama's true motives in having these most dangerous of men released has assuredly crossed the line into knowingly and willingly 'aiding and abetting' the enemy...in other words TREASON...for he knew this would be the outcome when he released those that he did...released them to lead and serve ISIS...the very group he was briefed about well over a year ago that he deliberately chose to ignore.

And what of ISIS itself and its goal of establishing an islamic caliphate...expanding it westward and eastward from the areas it already controls in both Syria and Iraq...for the fact is that ISIS does indeed represent a direct threat NOT only to U.S. allies in the region, but given the number of foreign fighters within its ranks... unfortunately including Americans...ISIS now poses a threat to Europe and America as well for as those fighters return home they do so to join sleeper cells waiting for their call to jihad. And let's NOT forget the ISIS videos where they have promised to divide America in two...where they have threatened car bombs and explosives in our cities...and where they brag about a future where the flag of allah will be raised over the White House...to which I add maybe with Obama's help.
 
And so ISIS continues on its forward march as they overrun Syria's north, forcing some 66,000 Syrian Kurdish refugees to flee into Turkey within the past 24 hours alone, making it upwards of 100,000 people who have crossed into Turkey in just the last few days, according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees in Turkey. And with the number of Syrian refugees now in Turkey nearing 1.6 million and growing...that 1.6 million now becomes part of the 3 million registered Syrian refugees the U.N. has counted since Syria's three-year civil war began. 

So many people fleeing their homeland as it becomes obvious that while Bashir al-Assad might NOT be the Syrian people's best friend per se, ISIS and the 'supposed' rebels are indeed their worst nightmare. Remember, the rebel fighters are often religious and see NO problem at all with building up alliances with the jihadists against a common enemy...that being Bashir al-Assad. And with ISIS, the Free Syrian Army, and the other rebel groups all trying to oust al-Assad...the once mostly secular Syria could very well become part of the ISIS wanted islamic caliphate complete with the abomination known as sharia law.

And the Syrian people know this, as well they know what our clueless Congress has chosen to ignore...that these rebel groups...that the Free Syrian Army...are actually ISIS and al-Qaeda in disguise. And when you add in what Obama has knowingly done by releasing the worst of the worst it's NO wonder that the Syrian people are running for their lives.

So while these desperate people seek refuge in Turkey, and as our government gets ready to fund those who are actually the enemy, Kurdish fighters from Turkey are joining the Kurdish militia...known as the People's Protection Unit...in fighting to hold off advancing ISIS forces in Syria's northern region, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. And basically these fighters are being forced to go it alone without America's help thanks to Barack HUSSEIN Obama and this most shameful American Congress who want to arm the very ones that are forcing the people to flee.

And as village after village fall in Syria, Iraq, and Kurdistan to these ISIS barbarians...with 39 villages falling in Kurdistan just this past Friday alone in what amounts to ethnic cleansing...Kurdish fighters were forced to withdraw from their positions. And what does Obama do to help aid those who are our allies...he smugly continues on with his 'limited airstrikes'...maybe six to nine per day...just to show the world he's doing something while his something amounts to what is actually NOTHING at all.

And this is all so sad for the Kurdish Syrian fighters had been able to fight and hold off ISIS for the past two years, and even were able to secure some roads as a safe passage for the thousands of Yazidi fleeing for their lives. But now thanks to ISIS in possession of American made weapons and arms...weapons they took from Iraqi soldiers who high-tailed it and ran when the going got tough...ISIS is now advancing across northern Syria killing Iraqi's, Kurds, and Syrians with those very U.S. made weapons and arms.

And Obama and Congress...through the Free Syrian Army...want to supply them with even more.

But amidst all this bad news there is a bit of good news. First, the Kurdish peshmerga forces in northern Iraq have recaptured several Christian villages under ISIS control even killing a senior ISIS commander in the process. Second, the Kurdish peshmerga are more than willing to fight ISIS, they just need to get the training and the heavy weapons they need to do so.

But even that bit of good news is tempered with bad news as who will the peshmerga get those heavy weapons from as Obama and now Congress are arming their enemies instead of arming them. And while there are Shia militias also fighting against ISIS those militias are backed by Iran...trained by Iranians and/or Lebanese fighters from Hezbollah...a double-edged sword if ever there was one for how can Iran side with the 'good guys' when Iran itself is one of the 'bad guys'...probably the baddest guy of all.

So as ISIS...now more of a quasi-state than just a mere terrorist group...continues on its quest of establishing an islamic caliphate...it has plenty of weapons and arms and more than enough financial resources to do so. And Barack HUSSEIN Obama and now Congress are aiding them in that quest...aiding them by their own acts of treason...and it seems that sadly, right now, there is NOTHING or NO one that can stop them...and that is the saddest thing of all.

Op-ed:
Building Satan's Playground upon Obama's Shame
By: Diane Sori

Targeted by ISIS militants whose goal is to tighten the noose around the Kurdish autonomous region, 40 thousand people...most of whom are Christians of sorts*...were forced to flee Kirkuk as the city was left in ruins after a recent ISIS attack. Now stranded on a mountain top with the threat that they will be shot if they dare try to come down off that mountain...these people who were fleeing for their lives were left without food or water...left to die like animals when the true animals are the ones perpetrating this hellish act.

Now enter center stage Barack HUSSEIN Obama to the rescue...to the rescue but for all the wrong reasons. The man who willingly and maliciously left Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty to die had his hand forced by the worldwide outcry calling for America to help. And so he seized upon the plight of others to counter his falling to all-time low approval numbers, and is now dropping...too late to really help...humanitarian aid to those stranded, as well as bombing ISIS forces from the air in what he calls a "limited engagement"...and doing so for his own political salvation and NOT because he gives a damn about those left to die.

And with ISIS militants now in control of key areas in Iraq it must be accepted as fact that this collapse of Iraq falls directly at the feet of Barack HUSSEIN Obama. And all the American blood spilled and American lives lost...as well as American treasure spent...has all been for NAUGHT for if truth be told this miserable and traitorous excuse of a president did NOT want Iraq to be an American success story but instead wanted Iraq to be America's shame.

Announcing for all the world to hear America's date of withdrawal and that America would leave NO troop support behind...would leave NO occupation force to help keep the peace...the enemy just had to wait us out and then come in and retake the land and the people we had freed. And that is exactly what they did, for the fact is that if we had left an American presence in Iraq any insurgency that arose could have been stopped before it took hold and the peace would have held, because our heavily armed troops themselves would have been a deterrent NOT only to the terrorists but to the internal warring factions within Iraqi as well.

So now any and all new deaths at the hands of ISIS...including American deaths... are directly courtesy of Barack HUSSEIN Obama and his misguided policy of tying our troops hands so as to minimize collateral damage as well as forcing our troops to fight NOT to win the war but to "win the hearts and minds of the enemy"...our enemy...his brethren that is. And as Iraq sadly falls into the hands of an enemy straight from the bowels of hell, Barack HUSSEIN Obama will now and forever be known as the man...as the president...who single-handily lost the peace after George W. Bush had won the war.

But that was his plan all along I'm afraid for his foolish actions when NOT needed and his inactions when actions were needed say it all.

And as civilians from the Noneveh governorate near Sinjar...most of whom are from the minority Yazidi sect that melds parts of Paganism and ancient Zoroastrianism with Christianity and islam, and who are considered by both ISIS and al-Qaeda to be devil worshipers and apostates… remain trapped on Mount Sinjar...the very mountain that had once looked like their safe haven is now fast becoming a graveyard for their children...for their elderly...for their sick. And with NO water and NO food, these people are for all intents and purposes completely cut off, surrounded, trapped, and are dying of thirst and hunger.

Such is the handiwork of barbarians who also had captured the city of Mosul in June, demanding that all its Christians either convert to islam or die. And as many died and as many fled, this particular action of the barbarians has historical significance, because for the first time since the dawn of Christianity there are NO Christians in Mosul. And such handiwork is why these ISIS barbarians must NEVER be allowed to walk amongst civilized men...is why ISIS itself must die.

And this latest attack by ISIS is the first major loss for Kurdish forces who had up until this point been somewhat successful in protecting Iraq’s north. And while Iraqi Kurdish security forces, known as peshmerga ('those who confront death' in Kurdish), are trying to secure for the people a 'safe' road...a 'safe' passage...from the mountain to the nearby city of Rabia, Kurdish factions in Syria say they will come to Iraq to try and help the country’s Kurds face and fight ISIS along a 650-mile long front.

But that help...if it comes...may come too late to help those trapped and dying on the mountain Sinjar...help if it comes that will be too late to stop a genocide that while on a much smaller scale than the Holocaust is genocide nevertheless.

And as ISIS...who has become more dangerous than al-Qaeda...is amassing large stores of weaponry, is taking over oil fields and dams, is filling its war chest with cold hard cash, and is developing what could become a major military presence in the region, they are leaving behind a trail of blood like none seen since the barbaric days of the Middle Ages as they accomplish their goal of imposing their stringent, uncompromising interpretation of everything that is evil about islam on NOT just Iraq and the Middle East but defacto on the world as well.

And here is where the true danger that is ISIS lies for these barbarians...these savages...have publicly stated that their ultimate goal is to have the flag of allah fly over our White House. “Don’t be cowards and attack us with drones. Instead send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq,” said Abu Mosa, a spokesman for ISIS. “We will humiliate them everywhere, God willing, and we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House,” he added upon hearing of Obama's threat to strike in Iraq...that is if you can call a 'limited engagement' a threat..

But these words of hate make it clear that stopping ISIS must be the civilized world's goal for if ISIS and terrorist groups like them are NOT stopped, the Middle East will truly become hell on Earth, and the rest of the world will be held hostage in fear that they will be next.

And that fear will remain until islam...all factions and elements of islam...undergoes a major reformation and puts aside all commands set down in the qur'an to kill those who do NOT believe...but that is something I do NOT see happening anytime soon.

So while Obama drops aid packages that are probably too late in coming to help those trapped on a mountain...as Obama bombs some conveys here and there to appease his critics both at home and abroad in an effort to save his miserable legacy...Christians in the Middle East are dying...Jews in the Middle East are dying...and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as well as His only begotten Son might die along with them as the Middle East now is truly becoming the playground of Satan. And Obama could have stopped it all but looked away, for if truth be told the flag of allah has already been flying over the White House for five years now with two more to go.
