Update on the Third Iraq War against ISIL/ISIS/IS/AQ/Syria/etc.

It should come as no shock to our readers that the Third Iraq War President Obama initiated has already faltered.  As predicted, the strategy (or lack thereof see: http://www.blackboxwire.com/2014/10/11/islamic-extremism-and-what-lies-ahead-part-ii-the-war-on-isis-and-syria/) did not achieve the desired results so now the Department of Defense (DoD), no doubt testing the waters for the White House, is requesting boots on […]

Captured Syrian MiG 21

Islamic State readying jets in preparation for an air attack

In August, I wrote a pointed article on why the US military was not prepared for how the fight had evolved with ISIL (http://www.blackboxwire.com/2014/08/30/the-next-911-we-are-not-prepared-for-how-isil-will-use-advanced-military-weapons-to-attack-us-targets/) in which I warned specifically about them using captured air assets.  For this specific warning, I received some very dismissive comments from government sources.  However, just this last week, Reuters (re)broke […]

Islamic extremism and what lies ahead? Part II: The War on ISIS and Syria

President Obama and his top military advisors have learned nothing and have made a grave mistake starting a war with Syria using ISIL as the pretext.  Just as I was confident and proven correct that this situation would materialize, I am equally confident in my analysis that this new war will lead to America’s greatest […]

THE NEXT 9/11: We are not prepared for how ISIL will use advanced military weapons to attack US targets

The Obama Administration has knowingly allowed ISIL to gain strength and capture more and more territory inside of Iraq and has set the stage for a second 9/11 style attack against a US target, which may in fact turn out to be the US Embassy Baghdad.  The White House looked the other way for years […]

Islamic extremism and what lies ahead? Part I: Iraq

Over the last few years, I have written many posts and provided consultation on the situation I predicted would materialize in the Middle East and North Africa as a result of US policy blunders.  In short, I predicted that our policies would lead to the creation of an even greater Islamist enemy that would destabilize […]

ISIL Stinger Missile Launch

New White House Scandal Emerges: US Covering Up Loss of Stinger Missiles in Syria to ISIL

                As usual, our readers are getting the story before it is a story.  No other media outlet (alternative or otherwise) has picked up this story we are now breaking. Media reports (see: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/06/16/us-made-stinger-missiles-have-likely-fallen-into-isis-hands-officials-say/), later tacitly confirmed by the Department of Defense (DOD) before burying the subject, have […]

Bill O'Reilly

The O’Reilly “Fiction:” Setting the Factor Straight

            Against my better judgment, I decided to watch a segment of “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News to hear his points on the latest developments in Iraq.  In O’Reilly’s defense, he has been a brilliant talk show host and highly successful writer and businessman.  However, at the end of […]

Iraq Explodes: White House Claims “Surprise” even as they Arm the Terrorists

I have been warning for years now that the Syrian Civil War would explode and massively destabilize the Middle East (see links at bottom of article). I specifically wrote extensively about the dangers of arming, training, and equipping Islamic extremists to fight Syrian government forces because it would lead to greater conflict in the Middle […]

The Disintegration of Iraq: US Military Action in Iraq neither Wise nor Suitable

As the hordes of American/Saudi/Qatari sponsored terrorists race across Iraq in what appears to be a blood orgy of Islamic extremism of the worst sort, Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki has appealed for help.  Maliki’s forces, to include two divisions of American trade Iraqi soldiers, have broken and fled leaving all of their equipment behind to […]
