ERBIL, Iraq (WNB) - After days of pondering a response to the brutal ISIS Islamic jihad sweeping across Iraq, President Obama unleashed a blistering counteroffensive on Monday, sending Sec. of State John Kerry to Iraq.
As word of Kerry's arrival in Baghdad spread, ISIS units retreating from their positions on the outskirts of the city. The counteroffensive then moved to Erbil on Tuesday, with Kerry arriving for a day of bellicose, droning speeches that sent panicked insurgents fleeing for Syria, taking only the clothes on their backs. "The Sunni fighters are on the run, praise Allah," said one Iraqi army commander.
While the counteroffensive is proving to be effective, many Iraqis are unhappy with Obama's move, calling the cure worse than the disease. "I would rather have my head cut off twice a day than listen to that John Kerry for even a minute," said one Iraqi man.
