Islamic State celebrates capture of Ramadi with orgy of bloodshed, 25,000 flee their homes

May 19, 2015 6:25 pm By Robert Spencer

RamadiIraq is bracing for the Battle of Baghdad, but no worries: John Kerry says all is well. And incidentally, where were the Obama airstrikes during this massive victory parade? “Iraq braced for the Battle of Baghdad: Chilling images show ISIS victory parade after fanatics seize key city of Ramadi – just 60 miles from the capital – in an orgy of violence and beheadings,” by Jay Akbar, Steph Cockroft, Simon Tomlinson and Julian Robinson, MailOnline, May 19, 2015:

ISIS militants have held a twisted victory parade after taking the key city of Ramadi in an orgy of violence and beheadings – and the extremists could march on the Iraqi capital Baghdad within the next month.

Mutilated bodies scatter the streets of the ‘Gateway of Baghdad’, where Islamic State slaughtered around 500 and forced nearly 25,000 to flee their homes over the last few days.

Now ISIS has released images of militants celebrating, children wielding automatic weapons and a fleet of pick-up trucks carrying its jubilant fighters through the blood-stained streets of Ramadi.

Shi’ite fighters have already launched a counter-offensive to recapture the city, but these kinds of tactics play straight into Islamic State’s grand plan to spark all-out war in the region, according to the Middle East director of counter-terrorism think-tank RUSI.

Islamic State militants are already marching east towards the Habbaniya army base – around 20 miles east of Ramadi – where a column of 3,000 Shi’ite paramilitaries are amassing, witnesses and a military officer has said.

And if ISIS manage to reach Baghdad, it would be ‘utter carnage’, Professor Gareth Stansfield told MailOnline.

He said: ‘If ISIS turn up in great numbers in Baghdad, it will be an absolute slaughter between Sunni’s [sic] and Shia’s [sic] there.

‘They [ISIS] are now having so many successes, and moving so quickly, that Baghdad is under very real threat from ISIS forces outside Baghdad and also the ISIS terror cells inside Baghdad as well.

‘We’re in for a very long summer of fighting in Iraq and ISIS could make their move [on Baghdad] in the next month. Taking Ramadi will… make the Shia militia in Baghdad even more radicalised and more dangerous.

‘And this is what ISIS wants, it wants it to come out and have sectarian scrap which forces all the Sunni’s [sic] to go towards ISIS.

‘If they had any opportunity to enter Baghdad, they would do. But it will be more and more difficult for them to do it because Baghdad is a military stronghold of the Shia militia.’

And if they manage to actually take Baghdad, which is predominantly Shia but has some Christian regions, Professor Stansfield says ‘there would be massacres to the scale we haven’t seen since the Mongol empire in the 13th Century’.

The UN said tonight that close to 25,000 people have fled Ramadi after militants attacked the city.

United States-led airstrikes have stepped up raids against the Islamists, conducting 19 strikes near Ramadi over the past 72 hours at the request of the Iraqi security forces, a coalition spokesman said.

And as fighting rages in and around the city, Islamic State fighters are also taking on Iraq’s military and tribal groups in the north.

ISIS are using rocket-propelled grenades to take on the Shi’ite militia ‘Popular Mobilisation’ in the city of Samarra, 70 miles north of the capital, according to Institute for the Study of War.

Equally brutal battles are taking place in Nebai just 50 miles to the north-west of Iraq, where ISIS has reportedly used ‘various weapons’ against Iraqi security forces and tribal fighters.

Professor Stansfield added: ‘Baghdad is in some ways already surrounded but now it’s lost Ramadi, this now brings the spectre of ISIS extremely close to Baghdad.’

‘If you piece together where ISIS has control, it has Baiji which is much further north but still somewhere the Iraqi forces are having to fight.

‘You’ve got ISIS very strong in Fallujah to the west of Baghdad and you’ve got ISIS pretty safe in Mosul.’

The loss of Ramadi – the capital of Iraq’s largest province Anbar – was the military’s worst setback since it started clawing back territory from the Islamic State group late last year.

Chilling images showing the totality of their defeat there show ISIS militants celebrating openly in the streets among dozens of charred bodies.

One man appears to have been captured by the merciless militants, who filmed the man’s terrified expression before brutally beheading him on camera.

Other videos showed Humvees, trucks and other equipment speeding out of Ramadi, with soldiers gripping onto their sides in a desperate and chaotic retreat.

Regarding how many people have died there in total, a spokesman for the Anbar province’s governor said: ‘We do not have an accurate count yet.’

Muhannad Haimour added: ‘We estimate that 500 people have been killed, both civilians and military, and approximately 8,000 have fled the city.’

The estimates are for the past three days, since Friday, when the battle for the city reached its final stages.

The 8,000 figure is in addition to the enormous exodus in April, Haimour said, when the U.N. said as many as 114,000 residents fled from Ramadi and surrounding villages at the height of the violence.

Local officials have said that ISIS carried out mass killings of Iraqi security forces and civilians….

      . Don’t they give a stuff their off spring might one day be waking up to calls to prayer, their daughters and grand daughters will be treated like absolute crap, and lets hope none of their kids turn out gay or lesbian that could get very ugly , their traditional family celebrations wont be at Christmas or Thanksgiving with turkey , ham and wine but halal and tap water at the Eid, while there will be no family dog running thru the home , they are considered dirty in case you don’t know, while camels and goats are not!! But then under Islam you more than likely wont even have a home , the jihadists have a bit of a habit of destroying those along with hospitals, schools, public buildings and Christian Churches

      Make no mistake Islam is the greatest threat to democracy and the civilized world in history, bar none!!

    EXACTLY

    It’s as if it’s a big underline and punctuation mark for this whole con job fiasco. They could have rubbed out almost all the Islamic State fighters there in minutes with a whole bunch of napalm — those retards are lined like a row of sitting ducks on the road! An all out assault until nothing is left. And then Iraqi forces could have swooped in and mopped up the rest shortly after! It would have been a crushing reversal for the Islamic State. But, of course, defeating the Islamic State is not what this is all about.

        Actually, the incredibly stupid idea of decommissioning the A10 Warthog is the product of that great pro-Moslem RINO Prez Dubya. Somehow it never occurred to anybody that flying a super high tech stealth jet going 2,800 mph by a pack of Mujahidin doesn’t really accomplish all that much.

    Celebrate with an orgy of bloodshed, thousands fleeing their home.

    Hmmm. That sounds eerily similar to how things went back in the day of the Holy Prophet Mohammed and his Companions in the aftermath of the unprovoked attacks they made on the banus Qaynuga, Khaibar, Nadir and Qurayza.

    It’s odd that the leader of the free world would deny that the Islamic State is Islamic. There seems to be a connection.

    This should surprise no one. ISIS celebrated the taking of Mosul by lining the streets of that city with severed heads.

    And as noted Kerry is suffering from irrational exuberance *at best*, and is out-and-out lying at worseโ€”either way, not traits you want to see in the secretary of state of the world’s greatest superpower.

    And speaking of irrational exuberance, remember the excitement eight years ago over the “Anbar Awakening”? This bloody horror appears to the be end result of that phenomenon…

    I remember when “Black Flag” meant death – for insects. Now “Black Flag” means death – by insects.

    Just for a mental excercise, let’s suppose these parasites actually get pemanent control of Iraq. They are spoil-seekers, not producers. Where are they going to get the wealth to sustain themselves? There is likely to be an embargo on Iraqi oil. Robbing caravans won’t work. Does this explain why the Saudis finally took notice and started air support? If the UAE and SA were under ISIS control, the West would have no choice. Maybe all the UAE and SA rulers could use the latest design in a comfortable steel collar?

          The question is: WHY is this being allowed?

    On Dec. 7th 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked, and much destruction occurred because all the planes on the base were lined up all neatly in a row, all in a line. Look it up. They changed the layout of the base many months afterward because of that. And Oh-Bummer can’t remember that and get rid of ISIS when they’re all neatly lined up in a parade? He doesn’t want to. Oh-Bummer, what golf course are we playin’ tomorrow.

  21. Lawrence says

    May 20, 2015 at 2:25 am

    What’s worth pondering, is that if ISIS eventually succeeds in overthrowing say Assad in Syria, never mind the Iraq scenario, it will then border Israel on the Golan. And then it may initiate a war or at least terror attacks against Israel from that side. Which means the Left will find themselves compelled to support ISIS/Daesh as ‘legitimate resistance fighting Israeli oppression’. If you have to ask why they would do that, then you don’t get it. I just thought I would make this tangential comment, because it’s not science fiction, it may well come to pass.

      What posted is correct per the Christian Bible. “All the kings of all the countries in the world shall rise against Israel” in the end God saves Israel but their is hell on earth first.

        The number of Muslims and mosques had tripped in the US since 9/11/2001 and the Muslim immigration is accelerating with the help of Barack Hussein Obama who had been living up to his middle name since climbing to power in 2009. The man is clearly a Muslim Brother and the chief community organizer for jihad against the Western civilization.

        Why is he in the White house, when there is enough evidence to impeach him and convict him of TREASON? Good question. Pigment and industrial and oil interests which Obama serves… After Baby Bush I did not think that US could have a worse President, but OBama far surpasses his incompetence and is a TRAITOR of US.

          May 20, 2015 at 12:28 pm

          When FoxNews asked Rep Trey Gowdy the same question, he answered, “Have you met Joe Biden?” Congress doesn’t want to replace a dangerous fool with a crazy fool.

          A better plan would be to replace the entire administration. With all the 2012 voter fraud in key swing states, along with the IRS suppression of Conservative 501 (c) PACs, I’d think there’d be ample justification for a revote.

          Another option would be for Congress to officially declare War…on ISIS, Iran, or even Islam altogether. We may as well get real about it. Muslims and their Quran, Sunnah, and Hadith have alredy declared war on us. Do we want to wait until they’re armed to the teeth with nukes?

          The power of the JCS and Congress to remove a POTUS from power is much greater during a time of declared war. Currently, we have no declared war.

          Does anyone really believe we can safely wait until 20 JAN 2017, just for the “chance” to put a patriot in the Oval Office? Wouldn’t you think Iran would prefer launching Armageddon while they still have a Muslim accomplice in the White House?

    If we had reduced our nuclear arsenal to zero this HIJACKER cult of Islam would be working on imrovement of medicine for human kind. When will we learn the true nature of the religion of peace Islam?

    As some of y’all have indirectly suggested, our Commander-in-Chief really doesn’t want to kill Muslims at all. He only uses attacks against Isis when public opinion would rise up against him to intolerable levels, and he would be at risk for being called out for treasonous behavior.
    For example, where was our air support in the Ramadi episode? Barry just didn’t want to hurt the jihadists (Muslims).
    And while we.re on this subject, did you ever consider why our air force involvement is so anemicโ€”like having only 5 to10 sorties a day instead of a much larger effort? Don’t you know that we’re capable of sending hundreds of planes daily to fight these savages. But somehow our military is operating under some undisclosed constraint. I think any sentient American knows what (who) that is.

    A very valid point was raised early in this article. Where were the airstrikes during this victory parade? What a magnificent opportunity to take out perhaps hundreds of these barbarians at once. Civilian casualties? Any civilians who do not support ISIS were hiding out. I am sick of the very transparent lack of desire to do anything effective to actually hurt this bunch. Just knock out a few pickup trucks, make people think we are really fighting them. I can only assume Obama is either the world’s biggest fool, or a traitor. And by the way, if it matters, I am a Democrat.

    Can a stealth jihadist in the White house, lose a war all on his own? Or does he have help? Is there any such thing as a nest of one viper? The trick is, to lose a war and look good doing it.

    I have not read all of this, so can someone answer:

    HAS ISRAEL AND’OR THE US BEEN BLSMED YET”

    Curious.

    Israel seems to be blamed for everything in the ME, by the Useless nations; liberturdsa like Carter; senile creeps like Castro ( both of whom said that Israel started and runs the ISIS), and others.

  37. Oliver says

    Just curious.

    Back when there were American troops in Iraq, it seems that everyone had weapons, to use to shoot and try and kill the Americans (and each other- the latter I agree with).

    What has happened to them” Did Obama and Bloomberg get gun control there” Or, were the Iraqis just pissed at the Americans ( and British and other non Muslim) soldiers”

    • JoeC says

      In answer to Oliver, the same people that had weapons when we were there still have plenty of weapons, mainly the Shia militias and the Sunni ex-army/tribesmen/radicals. The difference is that we fought the Shia militias until they stood down and we were able to co-opt enough of the Sunni ex-army/tribesmen to help us bust up the Sunni radicals.

      The problems started when Barry withdrew all our forces, leaving the Iraqi army to take our place as big kid on the block. Unfortunately, the Iraqi state has no idea how to run an army and ex-Prime Minister Malaki was a disaster, as he pushed Sunnis and Kurds away from national union by favoring Shites. This was about the worst thing that could have happened to reignite the sectarian tensions that we had largely tamped down.

      If we want to stop ISIS and prevent the Iraqi army from being supplanted by Shia militias, we’ll have to send ground troops and I don’t think anyone has the stomach for that.

    Caliph Ohamad just ordered the American enemedia to stop showing “old” footage of ISILam’s victory parades because his recent air strikes have made sure they are really hiding under rocks nowadays. I bet they masochistially Submitted to his orders, too.

    And minders discuss how to accommodate returning citizens – ex-ISIS fighters.

    It’s hard to quarrel much with one’s opinion, that traditionally xenophobic, antisemitic Australia is a breading pond for skilled English-professional jihadists.

    To Daniel Tripett, yes,I agree, it would be best for Congress to declare war on Iran or somebody, and at that time go ahead and impeach Obama (and Biden).
    But if, as as Peggy says,” The key players from both sides were bought,” then we citizens are just passengers on a bus being driven by power-drunk, self-destructive Wall Streeters & their puppet politicians.
    We really must try to shake Congress awake, so they can do their duty.
    Otherwise, it seems like it’ll be every man & woman for him/herself.

      Farmer Mike –

      I have been trying to wake up congress for years to the best of my ability, with attending meetings, with phone calls, emails and even letters by US mail. Back in the day (in, say the late 60s and early 70s, I would receive at least an acknowledgment of my efforts to communicate with my “representatives” from Mayor (Lindsey) of NYC to congressmen and senators and even the local government of Boulder, Colo, where efforts started by me were satisfyingly effective and successful But then. I was living abroad for a few years and out of touch; when I came back to the USA in 1975 and became politically reactivated, I never received even an acknowledgment of any communication I took the trouble to send.No, sending money to a party or a candidate was not my means of communication. I didn’t have money to send to liars and cynical pretenders, and I could no longer tell who was who, any more than I can today. This is post-constitutional USA thanks to quite a few years of atrocious Supreme Court decisions and general corruption of every fed, state and local government.not to mention renighing on the serviceable banking restrictions in place and replacing them with a law that favors criminal activity in bankis, I find my own personal power diminished to zero.;
      You might call me a sheeple, but you’;d be wrong. I’m a thinking person who does everything I can at my advanced age to stop or alter all kinds of policies designed in my view to destroy my beloved country.
      So today I feel like a completely powerless person, I know there are credible arguments on both sides when the Supremes concluded corporations had same rights as people with regard to campaign contributions, read:spreading money around for pork and much more horrendous expenditures effected by lobbyists and PACs…I knew the trade agreements shoved down our throats by GW and the proclamation of a “new world order” by his father’s,administration would have disastrous effects on the US economy and culture. and when they rescinded the regulative banking laws and enacted bailouts for the “too big to fail” I felt it was all over for a free republic..I live now in a leftist state (Oregon..which distinguishes itself by the motto “keep Portland Weird” and having moved from corrupt NYS, I can hardly tell the difference politically. To me, familiar w/ Schumer and Silver and Hillary and Cuomo, I was surprised to find how easily corruption is accepted or encouraged in Oregon- our former governor and his gurrfran selling influence notwithstanding. (Those two had to leave the building) I’m too old to participate in rallies and sit-ins. Which in any case I feel are less than effective policy-changers. My observations through the years, kicked up in the last 15 or 20 yrs, lead me not to conclude we are over, done. I see things now as completely grim for the future, esp for the future of my grandchildren. Can’t believe this has all happened with American voters’ blessing. Gotta suspect some powerful “community organizing” and toxic measures taken to the counting of votes and voters that have surely confirmed an advantage for the Leftists, especially when we introduce “motor voter” registration that will insure illegal aliens will have the right to vote…to determine the future of American citizens.
