ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

[Rhyfelwyr]

I think that Vice series kind of backs up what TuffStuffMcGruff said a while ago - that some guys are actually having the time of their lives in the Syrian (and now also Iraqi) conflict.

Have a swim with the kids at the beach, pop around doing speeches from your ice cream van, go fire a few shots on the frontline, then head home for a street party.

I think if war was half as horrible as we thought it was, it wouldn't be happening all the time. Don't get me wrong I've seen the pictures of ISIS' beheaded enemies and their throats being slit (not for the faint of heart), but for most people their day to day experience is probably more what we saw in that video.

Like it's nothing, 500 killed, some buried alive, mostly women and children. Don't know when it took place but geez

Looks like there is a coup going on in Baghdad

Looks like Judicial machinery moving - like it or not Maliki has the largest Bloc and should get first chance to form a government.

No, apparently the Green zone and the presidential house have been surrounded, looks like a coup

This is not being reported by the BBC - which means it probably isn't true.

It's not something they could hide, after all.
