ISIS rounds up ex-Baathists to eliminate likely rivals

BAGHDAD/MOSUL: One night last week, ISIS militants in an SUV with tinted windows pulled up at the home of a former Iraqi army officer, one of the men they see as an obstacle to their goal of establishing a caliphate from Iraq to the Mediterranean.

As the retired major general was led away to the vehicle draped in the trademark black-and-white Islamist flag, his son and wife feared the worst. “I have been asking the families of other officers and no one knows why they were taken,” his son said by phone, breaking down in tears.

In the past week, Sunni militants who overran the city of Mosul last month have rounded up between 25 and 60 senior ex-military officers and members of former dictator Saddam Hussein’s banned Baath Party, residents and relatives say.

The crackdown signals a possible rift in the insurgent alliance that helped secure ISIS fighters swift victory when they rode in from the desert to capture Mosul last month.

for those who do not know----"BAATHIST" are ----"arab nationalist" They support a concept of "ARAB" as a nation entitled to supremacism------but make a kind of weak
claim that -----"but we are tolerant of 'other religions' "OTHER RELIGIONS" means
religions that the arab muslim over lord consider "legal" Usually that means
"monotheistic" religions. Just what is a "monotheistic" religion and therefore
legal depends on the whims of the arab muslim overlords. Classically it means
Christianity and Judaism and sometimes Zoroastrianism------but that concept is
subject to-----"whim" It can even mean Hinduism----if the arab muslim over lords
need tribute and forced labor and the right to rape and enslave hindus -----
Actually BAATHISM means -----ISLAMICISM----but not ENOUGH islamicism for some.

Sadaam was a Baathist Nasser was a Baathist Assad is a BAATHIST---
just not MUSLIM enough---for -----SALAAFISTS and various other islamicist
groups who see no reason at all to accommodate those KAFFIR DOGS---like Christians
and certainly not JOOOOOOS

ok fellow posters-----now you know

Interesting article, it proves again that ISIS gangs are Iranian secret agents in the region.

I suspect Val Jarrett personally gave the order to round up the Baathists

Actually, Freeman, I have a sneaking suspicion that you are a member of ISIS yourself and are hoping for a new worldwide Caliphate. Maybe these were some of your friends who were at the demonstration. Can anyone in their right mind think that ISIS are Iranian Secret Agents when so many Shia are being murdered by the ISIS savages? How nice that an actual agent of ISIS is on this forum trying to place the blame on the Shia when it is actually the members of the Sunni sect doing all this killing in Iraq..
