Ramadi, Fallujah, Mosul, and Tikrit down? I'll place my money on them taking Baghdad before the end of next week.

I’m guessing this will end with Iraq being partitioned between Al Qaeda to the West and Iran to the East. Iran will likely move in to safeguard the Shite population—no doubt with the tacit approval of Obama.

Mission accomplished.

How about we do our version of the media’s daily body count that turned people against Iraq by its relentless, never-ending drumbeat? Whenever the jihadis take back a town, we keep track of the number of Americans who died taking it. Obama is purposely making each and every one of those sacrifices for naught.

Dubya won Iraq for the Shia, but the Sunnis are going to take it back — unless Iran intervenes.

They’re plunderers and looters from way back. They have a history.

The ARVN performed admirably in defending the South until the Democrats pulled the plug and even then they lasted longer than many supposed.

Failed? How can you fail when your intention is to rewrite all of history by destroying the West?
