ISIS Video Mocks “Obama, Did You Prepare Enough Diapers For Your Soldiers?”
The Islamic State (TIS), the new caliphate born from the ISIL controlled regions of Iraq and Syria, already faces the challenge of retaking the Iraqi city of Tikrit, while taunting the U.S. to interfere in their controlled areas.
Tikrit is a Sunni dominant city and fell to ISIL early in the group’s swift offensive through Iraq. According to Al-Jazeera America, Iraqi military forces have been working to retake the city since Saturday when various assaults were launched. ISIL has thrown back most of the attacks, but the Iraqi military spokesman Qassim al-Moussawi said Sunday, the Iraqi forces had control of the university in the city and he was confident in the military advances in Tikrit.
“The battle has several stages,” al-Moussawi told Al-Jazeera America. ”It is a matter of time before we declare the total clearing (of Tikrit).”
After TIS established itself, a video was released via the Gateway Pundit showing ISIL members raising their adopted flag over a former military base and exploring what remains in the area from the fighting. Abu Saffiya, the narrator for the majority of the video makes various statements about the Iraqi military including, “they are nothing but cowards,” as he shows off abandoned Border Patrol vehicles and military patches seemingly left behind by Iraqi forces.
Near the end of the video, another ISIL soldier asks the camera, “Yo Obama, did you bring enough diapers for your soldiers,” as laughter is heard in the background and the speaker smiles on.
ISIL has already made plans to expand their reach after suicide bombers claimed by the group struck parts of Lebanon. The bomber prematurely detonated himself in the hotel he was staying in after security forces stormed the hotel. The bomber was the only casualty, but four members of the security force searching the building were injured. Reports say the attack is the first f many on Lebanese soil to be carried out in the name of TIS.
A caliphate is defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica as a “political-religious state compromising the Muslim community and the lands and peoples under its dominion in the centuries following the death of the Prophet Muhammad.” Some say these lands though, historically, stretch from Spain over North Africa and through the Middle-East to the edge of historical Persia, now Iran.
