Indeed, it was a mistake to leave so hastily with so much left behind.
Obama can still stop this with a sustained air-campaign to wipe out this heavy equipment. But Malki has lost control of the hearts and minds of the Sunni sections of Iraq, and honestly Kurdistan which probably should be its own country anyway.
I don’t see him winning except by waging a some what brutal and religiously defined civil war as leader of the Shitite and its not clear the rest of his people will back him.
Short of that his greatest hope is that the ISIL Army tears itself apart which is not likely to happen before Malki himself is taken out.
“Stay away America. Far, far away.
The Moslems are killing each other. What could be better than that?
Support Israel and leave the rest alone. Jesus will take care of it when he returns”
That is one way to go, however once these Terrorist have their own country will they make peace or uses that country as a base to make war against us?
Heavy air bombardment can reduce their army to little more than terrorist again. That is something even the Iraqi army may be able to mop up.
Sounds like an opportunity to get Sunnis and Shia to kill each other.
