War against ISIS

[Rakan.SA]

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar and UAE should stop bombing ISIS. Let's leave ISIS for Iraq to sort out their shit. Haven't you read Iraq stance on collation operation in Yemen? Interestingly to note that Abadi criticized Saudi Arabia days ago and now back on his words. The $500 million saudi pledged to Iraq made him blundered. We should take that money back and give it to the people in need instead of giving it to such sectarian incompetent government.

no brother we are better than him. we will never leave the poor iraqi ppl to that sick rat and his iranian master.
look at the bright side. and dont forget that we are helping the victims regardless of sect, religion or race.

What I meant is that Saudi Arabia should not give a single penny to the Iraq government. The money should go under the administration of humanitarian organizations but NO cash should be directly given to Iraq government.

Should not have given it to the UN either. They are just sitting on their procrastinating booties and letting the world go to Hades in a hand basket. Look at the Ukraine issue and the Syrian Civil War. They haven't done a thing with either one.

i read when countries pay the UN to do some humanitarian work or something. around 30% or more goes to the UN.
i cant remember where i read it and cant confirm if its true.

30%? That's awful. I can understand 5% but 30%? That is a lot. I never liked the UN, but this makes me like them even less.

i wish i can find where i read it. if i remember correctly they say it covers administration work and some logistics
king abdullah before he passed away gave them 100 or 200 million dollars to start a department to fight terror in the UN.
i think the new king should take the money back and saudi starts a new international organization with this money to fight terror and then ask any country that is interested to join. its much more affective this way and efficient and it will actually get things done.
i dont trust the UN. its simply a political tool for the big countries and thats it.

In photos, First Canadian Hornets air strike on ISIS in Iraq
Nov 02 2014 - 7 Comments

By David Cenciotti
Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Hornets have conducted their first combat mission supporting Operation Inherent Resolve. And here are some interesting shots.
On Oct. 30, RCAF CF-18 Hornets took part in the first air strikes against ISIS targets in support of US-led Operation Inherent Resolve.

The images in this post were taken as the Canadian Hornets were refueled by a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 340th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, over Iraq.



On their first air strike the aircraft carried 3x GBU-12 LGBs (Laser Guided Bombs), 2x AIM-9M Sidewinder air-to-air missiles at the wing tip launchers, 1x AIM-120 AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile), and 2x drop tanks.



Interestingly, the Hornets carry the drop tanks on the right hand wing and on the centerline pylon (as the U.S. Navy Hornets), so as the Sniper ATP (Advanced Targeting Pod), carried on the left hand side of the fuselage, is not obstructed.

Iran 'godfather' of IS jihadists: opposition leader


The leader of an exiled Iranian opposition group addressed US lawmakers for the first time Wednesday and warned of the links between Shiite Iran and the Sunni Muslim Islamic State (IS) militants.

"It was the mullahs' regime who helped the creation of ISIS... and the killing of Sunnis in Iraq helped the emergence of ISIS," Maryam Rajavi told House lawmakers, using another acronym for the IS jihadist group that has captured a swathe of territory in Iraq and Syria.

Rajavi is the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, a political umbrella coalition of five Iranian opposition groups that includes the once blacklisted People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK).

The Paris-based group has proved controversial in the past due to its links with the MEK, formed in the 1960s to overthrow the then shah of Iran.

Once the shah went into exile, the MEK fought the emergence of the Islamic leaders in Tehran, earning itself a listing as a "terrorist organization" by the State Department in 1997. It was only removed from a US terror blacklist in 2012.

Although Iran has been helping Iraqi leaders to fight the Sunni IS militants by arming and advising Shiite militias, Rajavi insisted that Iranians called Iran's religious leaders "the godfather" of IS.

"It was the Iranian regime ... that created terrorism as a major threat for stability," Rajavi said, appearing at the House foreign affairs committee via a live satellite link from her Paris offices.

"Terrorism and fundamentalism under the name of Islam came to the world as seen by the mullahs' regime in Iran, and when this regime is overthrown, that will be limited or destroyed."

And she alleged that "despite all their differences, ISIS is very close to the fundamentalists ruling in Iran" and even on "occasions they have cooperated."

"The mullahs' regime is not part of any solution as we attempt to deal with Islamic fundamentalism. It is indeed the heart of the problem," she added, insisting the "ultimate solution" was regime change in Iran.

Iraq says ISIS deputy leader killed

A man dubbed as the second-in-command of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been killed in a U.S.-led airstrike against the militant group in northern Iraq, the country’s ministry of defense announced Wednesday.

“According to detailed intelligence information an airstrike has struck the second man in ISIS terrorist gangs Abu Alaa al-Afri,” the local al-Sumaria News quoted the ministry as saying.

Afri was killed west of Mosul; Iraq’s second largest city which has been under ISIS’s control since June last year.

Spokesman Brig-Gen Tahsin Ibrahim told the semi-official Iraqiya TV that Afri was inside a mosque in Tal Afar district in Mosul when he was targeted.

Brig-Gen Ibrahim also said a large number of other ISIS militants were also killed at Al-Shuhada Mosque where Afri was meeting with them.

The defense ministry statement also said the strike targeted the top ISIS judge in the group’s self-proclaimed Jazira province, which includes Tal Afar, and “a large number” of the organization’s members.

Tal Afar lies near the border with Syria, almost 400 kilometers (250 miles) northwest of Baghdad, and was one of the first places IS fighters took over when they launched a surprise offensive on June 9 last year.

News of his killing comes after unconfirmed reports that Afri took in charge of ISIS “temporary” after the group’s leader ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was reportedly injured. But the Pentagon however said there was no reason to think Baghdadi had been wounded.

The structure of the organization’s senior leadership is secretive and ISIS has only released video or audio recordings of Baghdadi or the group’s official spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani.

The U.S. state department last month put a $7 million bounty on information leading to Afri, who is presented on the Rewards for Justice website under the name of Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli.
