The Iraqi Civil War continues: the “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria,” using weapons supplied by the United states government, raids two prisons in pro-Iranian Iraq (one of which is Abu Ghraib) and frees 500 incarcerated al-Qaida (Arabic for “the Base”) terrorists. Meanwhile no members of the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) lost their lives.
