Retired Lt. Col. Sargis Sangari, an Assyrian American who spent part of his 20 year U.S. Army career in Iraq, is advising the Assyrian army. He is frustrated that although the Assyrian fighters have had some success against ISIS, the U.S. continues to ignore their pleas for help.
“All we’re saying is we’re done. We don’t have equipment. We don’t have the weapons. We don’t have the training,” said Lt. Col. Sangari.
“As much as you’re giving money to all these individuals who are killing each other, why don’t you try to give it to the Assyrians?” he added, addressing the United States. “Anybody who fights just for money will be a failure, but when you give money to individuals who are fighting for their homeland, they’ll be successful.”
The Assyrian Army has been one of the most effective groups fighting against ISIS. Despite their lack of resources, the Assyrian army has held the FLOT (Forward Line of Troops) against ISIS in Iraq’s Assyrian Nineveh plain, their homeland, since last August when the jihadist group overran the area.
“If the U.S. goal is to bring security to the region, then there should be U.S. Special Operations Forces training, equipping, and supporting the Assyrian Army, allowing them to expand their reach, which is currently grounded in the Assyrian Nineveh plain in Iraq,” noted the American advisor. “One of the biggest obstacles we run into are the lobbyist groups in Washington, D.C. who are being funded to no end to try to preach in favor of other ethnicities in the region who cannot even manage and administer their own areas,” he said. “Because of that the Assyrians have not been able to get the support they need.”
President Obama recognizes that ISIS is committing genocide against Iraqi Christians, yet he is ignoring the pleas of the Assyrian Army, and it appears that his advisors do not recognize that the Assyrians are seeking only to preserve their historical homeland. Perhaps there is more than just a misunderstanding on the part of the Obama administration that would lead them to ignore the natural constituency represented by the Assyrian army.
For the moment they continue to seek support and aid from the families of Assyrian soldiers who are maintaining the ground war against the ISIS juggernaut.

Its time for another Crusade. And this time, we need to finish Islam entirely.
I am praying that Gods will is done.
Let me tell you about Putin and the future. Russia and China are trying to stabilize the Middle East. Your gonna find out in a few years a unified Islam is much worse. The first leader or 2 won’t be extreme enough so they will be killed. That’s when the Beast will take over, son of satan. He will unify Islam, communism, and much of Africa, ww3
The prophecies are real and they are happening right now. Make your peace with Jesus, for there isn’t much time before the rapture. All left on earth after God takes the saved to heaven will suffer hell on earth. Each of you need to find non believers and convince them if they do repent to Jesus they will be sorry, very soon.
