I like reading stories like this, as it reminds me of the scripture:
“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind” -Hosea 8:7
To all muslim Pagan evildoers: Your time is up. Time to reap the whirlwind.

Although Vice is known to be a liberal hand puppet, they do make some very good War Documentaries and go where other journalist are afraid to. Ultimately, you have to separate the bias from the facts and move on.
This is the full length 47 minute Documentary called “Fighting ISIS” that aired on HBO last week.
With San Bernardino, Orlando and now the recent stabbing incident in Virginia, we need to be vigilant and understand the ISIS threat is no longer just in Iraq and Syria.
Stay Alert, Stay Armed and Stay Dangerous!
The CIA program to supply Arab rebels in Syria has made TOW anti-tank guided missiles a nearly ubiquitous sight in media coming from the conflict. But the United States might not be the only country waging a covert war with TOW (or TOW-like) missiles in the Middle East.
Iranian reverse-engineered TOW anti-tank guided missiles, dubbed “Toophan,” have been been sighted headed toward Yemen with additional suspected appearances in Iraq and Syria — all in the hands of Tehran’s allies and proxy groups.
Iran’s production of reverse-engineered TOW missiles is no great secret. In official news outlets, documentaries and on Iran’s official arms export website, the Islamic Republic has touted its production of a series of different Toophan missiles derived from TOW variants.
It has produced at least a handful of different Toophan models, including the Toophan 1 through 3. According to Armament Research Services, the three systems appear to copy the TOW BGM-71A, BGM-71C and BGM-71F missiles. Iran makes two other variants, dubbed the Toophan-5 and Qaem.
In addition to the basic infantry launch platform, Iran has equipped some of its vehicles to fire the missiles. The basic Safir 4×4 tactical vehicle often appears in military parades equipped with a Toophan launcher.
Iran’s unhelpfully-named Toufan-2 helicopter, based on the Bell Sea Cobra, also appears able to fire Toophan anti-tank missiles.

I suppose we should be thankful these IS goat humpers kill more of their own fighters during a firefight than anyone else. Wow. Amazing they have gotten as far as they have. -SF
New footage claiming to show Islamic State fighters in battle reveals confusion and retreat as they take on Kurdish peshmerga troops in northern Iraq.
Vice News says the video was taken from the headcam of an IS fighter killed in March during a battle some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the city of Mosul, which has since June 2014 been in Islamic State hands.
Vice does not elaborate on how it came to acquire the footage.
In the video, a handful of fighters dressed in some form of sand-colored uniform are seen inside a military vehicle, scrambling to find the correct weaponry as they engage the peshmerga.
“Pass me another rocket,” says one. “A rocket, a rocket.”
The video then shows a hand reaching down to locate the rocket among a collection of bags, guns and other miscellaneous clutter.

With the Iraqi Military’s piss -poor combat record combined with their pathetic tendency to abandon US Military hardware to the enemy (remember all those Humvees and M113 APC’s ISIS captured from the Iraqi Army and used as VBIED’s, mostly during the battle for Ramadi?) Well, now replace the Humvee with a Fighter Jet, and think of 9/11…basically a flying VBIED…yeah, it could be that bad if they got ahold of these things…even if they did not have the know how to fight with them, all they would really know how to do (like with 9/11) is TAKE-OFF and CRASH it into American or Coalition Targets of opportunity in the Middle East like say an Embassy or ABOT, the Al Basrah Oil Terminal in Iraq.
I think in light of all that evidence, this is a serious question to ponder; I only Hope I am wrong… for all our sakes.
The U.S. on Monday delivered the first lot of F-16 fighter jets to the Iraqi government to be used in the fight against Islamic militants.
Brett McGurk, the administration’s deputy special presidential envoy to the coalition against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), confirmed the deliver on Twitter.
“After years of preparation & training in the U.S., Iraqi pilots today landed the 1st squadron of Iraqi F16s in #Iraq,” he said.
The four jets arrived the Balad air base around midday local time, an Iraqi air force official toldReuters.
