ISIS advances on Baghdad, faces little resistance
ISIS advances on Baghdad, faces little resistance, DEBKAfile, May 24, 2015
The Islamic State continued its push toward Baghdad and on other fronts. Saturday, the group took the Iraq-Syrian town of Husaybah on the Tigris, rounding off its control of the border and the river and gaining an easy and rapid route for transferring reinforcements between the two countries.
The Islamists closed the distance to the big Iraqi base of Habbaniyah, taking Khalidiya on the way.DEBKAfile: Claims in Baghdad that Iraqi forces are preparing to recapture Ramadi have no substance in fact. The only place the ISIS is facing resistance is at the eastern exit of Khalidiya, where pro-Iranian Shiite militias are attempting to bar their progress towards Habbaniyah whic would bring them to within 12 km from Baghdad.

Down goes Iraq, down goes Syria and soon Mordor will be on Jordan’s door step. As foretold the Caliphate is forming up all around Israel and as with any foreign object within an organism it will try to expel it.
