| Charles Lister: ISIS Battle for Baghdad Has Begun |
| 2014-08-12 |
| ISIS is approaching Baghdad from the south as the city struggles to maintain order. Prime Minister Maliki is scheduled to be replaced with Haider al-Abadi and last night Maliki's special forces were deployed as he refused to step down from power and announced plans to sue Iraqi President Fuad Masum. |

| #9 Please don't post any pictures of a pyramid of human heads, mass crucifixions, etc. in downtown Baghdad. I have a vivid imagination as it is. |

| #4 the ISIS attack on Baghdad has begun, but not with massed troops or advancing columns or trench warfare or anything like that. The IS forces have carried out suicide bomb attacks in and around Baghdad and plan lots more along with as many ambushes as they can do. |
