BAGHDAD -- Militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) (click here) on Monday captured a military training camp in western Iraq, inching closer to full control of the restive Anbar province, as a spate of deadly bombings shook Baghdad, hitting mostly Shiite neighborhoods and leaving at least 30 dead....
The link is a better video than the embed, however, this is the urgent war the USA is suppose to dedicate ground troops. I don't think so. The bridge was blown up because the Islamic State fighters didn't want the Iraqi military to follow them and quite possibly kill them.
The Islamic State is foot soldiers with guns and with the exchange of gun fire across the river the two sides might have their munitions hold up a while.
Baghdad has been having bombs go off from the day the USA invasion under Bush.
The Islamic State is destined to be just another violent group in the region. They don't have the equipment anymore. They are no different than Hezbollah right now.
It is unfortunate the US Republicans have hung their hat on violence and war, because if this is a demonstration of the prowess of the 'tank donut treads and wheelys' of the Islamic State they need a competition judge not a war.
