Valin Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Independent Journal Review: Justen Charters Jan. 1 2016 With all the publicity ISIS gets, there aren’t many first-hand accounts from people they’ve taken prisoner escaping and living to tell the tale. Through Hamody Jasim, a former Sergeant Major in the Iraqi military, Independent Journal was given a rare opportunity. Jasim, the author of the Terrorist Whisperer, connected us with Master Sergeant Karam Saad, whom he served with during the Iraq War: While Jasim was able to make it out in 2008, thanks to invaluable assistance with U.S. intelligence operations, Saad stayed behind. ISIS would take him prisoner six years later. Saad shared his gripping story with Independent Journal. (Snip) Then, he took a major shot at the Obama administration for the way they’re handling things: “The airstrikes are not effective and there are really no functional operations. The coalition is bullsh**! They might get a couple good shots here or there, but for the most part it’s not an effective strategy. In the future, I feel that the Republicans will be more effective to battle ISIS than the Democrats will. Since 1991, the Republicans have been better allies than Democrats. The Democrats have a stupid strategy. I had spent a long time on the battlefield with the Republicans politics and we’ve had way more victories in the fight. Under the Obama administration, America is not taking this fight seriously.” Saad, who holds the rank of Master Sergeant in the Iraqi Security Forces, is still out there fighting ISIS on the frontlines. And we wish him the best of luck. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrY0zO0AAsw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
