This War is Going Global(thanks Putin): it's still China's!

Oh, there was this one too. I thought this really spoke volumes about what is going on.

President Obama took credit in 2012 for withdrawing all troops from Iraq. Today he said something different.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

The headlines say it all.

-Syria car bomb kills 34, injures 50

Oil is apparently adding to ISIS's(al qaeda) revenue supply. Big surprise. Add that to the Iraq facility they are in the process of taking over, their chemical weapons facility, and some more land taken today; the sum is why Iran and Syria were crazy for saying they were winning a couple of weeks back.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

The Jihad has now taken two more towns and another boarder crossing with Syria. This goes along with the bounty they collected when they took Mosul. One thing that isn't being talked about much however, is something that happened a couple months back; Iraq insurgents seized a dam.

So that's water, oil, banks(money), land, and weapons now firmly under the control of the Sunni extremists. Now all the mujahideen and their Saudi backers have to do is draw Iran into battle and then turn their sights onto Israel.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Amazing. Not even three months ago I was told by a few around here that what is going on in the Ukraine has nothing to do with what is going on in the Middle East... Well, now...

-Sunni militants capture two border crossings: Iraq officials

The capture of the two follows the fall since Friday of the towns of Qaim, Rawah, Anah and Rutba, all of which are in the Sunni Anbar province where militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have since January controlled the city of Fallujah and parts of the provincial capital Ramadi.
Sunni militants have seized another town in Iraq’s western Anbar province, the fourth to fall in two days, officials said Sunday, in what is shaping up to be a major offensive in one of Iraq’s most restive regions.

Iran’s supreme leader meanwhile came out forcefully against any U.S. intervention in Iraq, accusing Washington of fomenting the unrest and appearing to quash recent speculation that the two rivals might co-operate in addressing the shared threat posed by the advance of Islamic extremists.

So Iranian officials are saying that that the US shouldn't intervene and that US failure to intervene shows a failure of will. 

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

The Ayatollah is saying that the US shouldn't intervene, and top Iranian officials are saying Obama is to week to follow through anyway. This comes directly on the heels of the West's, specifically Europe's failure to hit Putin with any meaningful sanctions and stop his advances.

Europe couldn't hit Russia with any meaningful sanctions anyway because their economy is so weak that they have to include prostitution and drugs in their GDP. All this did was show the mujahideen that it was their time to strike. Now, there is nothing but the Chinese army that can stop this. Seeing Kerry in Baghdad today saying that everyone should sit down and talk about this is as laughable as it is scary. I mean, really

Iraq Isis Crisis: Is Jordan Next?

In the latest developments, militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) seized the Turaibil crossing with Jordan along with the al-Walid crossing with Syria after government forces pulled out.

On the Jordan/Iraq border, a reporter from the German news agency DPA reported sighting a mobilisation of troops, tanks and missiles.

In a video released on YouTube, five of the group's Mujahideen pledged to take the holy war to Jordan and Lebanon, fostering experts' fear that Jordan could be Isis' next target. The group was originally founded and led by a Jordanian-born Islamist militant, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who declared alliance to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network in the aftermath of the American-led invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Isis see Jordan's Western-backed King Abdullah as an enemy and in a video posted on YouTube they threatened to "slaughter" him. Some jihadis who appear in the video were Jordanian citizens who tore up their passports in front of the camera.

Oraib Rantawi, head of Amman's Al-Quds Centre for Political Studies, told AFP that "only the ignorant or those in denial would think that Isis does not have supporters in Jordan".

"How do they explain the presence of 2,000 Jordanian jihadists in Syria and Iraq?"

In another worrying development, dozens of supporters of Isis rallied in Maan, in southern Jordan, marking it the first public appearance of the jihadist group in the country. The Jordan Times reported that some 60 supporters rallied with black banners of Isis chanting "Today Iraq, tomorrow the caliphate", referring to the group's ultimate goal to establish an Islamic proto-state in the Levant. Participants also chanted: "The caliphate is coming to Jordan."

King Abdullah calls up Saudi armed forces on high preparedness. Egyptian troops ready to fly to kingdom

Thursday, June 26, the day before US Secretary of State John Kerry was due in Riyadh, King Abdullah summoned a National Security Council meeting “upon the current security events in the region, especially in Iraq,” and ordered “all necessary measures to protect the kingdom against terrorist threats.” This meant a general call-up of military units for a high level of preparedness.
DEBKAfile’s military sources disclose that Egypt is assembling an expeditionary commando force to fly to Saudi Arabia and bolster its border defenses.

This flurry of Saudi-Egyptian military steps comes in the wake of intelligence gathered by Saudi reconnaissance planes showing Iraqi Al Qaeda-linked Sunni fighters (ISIS) heading for the Saudi border and aiming to seize control of the Iraqi-Saudi crossing at Ar Ar (pop: 200,000).

ISIS and its Sunni allies are still on the march after capturing Iraq’s border crossings with Syria and Jordan earlier this week.

On Wednesday, Kerry warned Mideast nations against taking new military action in Iraq that might heighten sectarian divisions. By then, he had been overtaken by a rush of events, as DEBKAfile reported this morning.

When the first of the 300 military advisers US President Barack Obama promised the Iraqi government arrived in Baghdad Wednesday, June 25, Iranian and Saudi Arabian arms shipments were already in full flow to opposing sides in embattled Iraq, DEBKAfile’s military sources report.

At least two cargo planes from bases in Iran were landing daily at Baghdad’s military airport, carrying 150 tons of military equipment. More than 1,000 tons were flown in this past week alone. Tehran has replicated for the Iraqi army the routine it established for Bashar Assad’s army, furnishing its needs on a daily basis as per its commanders’ requests. Those requests come before a joint Iranian-Iraqi headquarters set up at the Iraqi high command in Baghdad for approval and the assigning of priorities for shipment.

At the same time, Saudi arms are flowing to the Iraqi Sunni tribes fighting alongside the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) against the Iraqi army and the Shiite Nouri al-Maliki's government.

Some very interesting facts....

China has a lot to lose in Iraq—and not just the thousands of oil workers it has there

China arguably benefited the most from the US invasion of Iraq and the bloody insurgency and civil war that followed. Beijing is Baghdad’s biggest customer for oil exports, in part because Chinese firms were willing to accept lower profit margins, play by the central government’s rules, and tolerate the security risks created by the country’s political instability. Now, with Iraq on the brink and militants threatening an invasion of Baghdad, China may have the most to lose.

Chinese state-owned firms have invested a total of $10 billion in the country. The state-owned energy giant, China National Petroleum Corporation, is the single largest foreign investor in Iraq’s oil sector. Iraq is China’s fifth largest oil supplier. Between 10,000 and 15, 000 workers, in addition to the ones being rescued today, are still in the country.

As ISIS changes their name to the Islamic State and proclaims a caliphate, they have also declared war on Lebanon. Not only that, Anti-Assad rebels said to seize 95% of Syrian Golan Heights. The proof? Rocket fire back and forth today. Stay .

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military rushed additional forces to its southern border with the Gaza Strip on Thursday, vowing to halt a growing wave of rocket fire from the Palestinian territory, while new clashes erupted in east Jerusalem in response to the death of an Arab boy who Palestinians say was killed by Israeli extremists.
Israel said the show of force on the Gaza border was a defense measure. But persistent rocket fire raised the prospects of a tough Israeli response, with the military saying more than 40 rockets or mortar shells were fired from Hamas-controlled Gaza on Thursday.

Tensions have been high since three Israeli teenagers were abducted in the West Bank on June 12, sparking a massive manhunt that ended with the discovery of their bodies early this week. Israel has blamed Hamas for the abductions and launched a crackdown on the Islamic militant group in the West Bank, drawing rocket attacks out of Gaza and Israeli airstrikes in a near-daily cycle of retaliation.

Iraq crisis: How Saudi Arabia helped Isis take over the north of the country

How far is Saudi Arabia complicit in the Isis takeover of much of northern Iraq, and is it stoking an escalating Sunni-Shia conflict across the Islamic world? Some time before 9/11, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, once the powerful Saudi ambassador in Washington and head of Saudi intelligence until a few months ago, had a revealing and ominous conversation with the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove. Prince Bandar told him: "The time is not far off in the Middle East, Richard, when it will be literally 'God help the Shia'. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them."

The fatal moment predicted by Prince Bandar may now have come for many Shia, with Saudi Arabia playing an important role in bringing it about by supporting the anti-Shia jihad in Iraq and Syria.

China is also experiencing a wave a terrorism in central Asia, and once again thanks to Putin will be drawn into the whole mid east conflict.
