Iran is probably Iraq’s only hope now.
We spend billions training Iraqi military officers and Iraq’s president Maliki fired them all, probably fearing a coup.
Iran having a Shiite majority already has military forces fighting ISIS (Sunni) in Syria along side their proxy Hezzbulah.
This blood feud dates from the beginning of Islam, a tribe that would later be Sunni’s from Syria beheaded Mohammed’s grandson (thee Mohammed) and brought his head to Damascus as a trophy. Sunni’s broke the blood line of the prophet, this is why zealous Shiites will kill Syrian Sunni’s with zeal. It dates back to the four caliph, under the fourth successor to Mohammed, Mohammed’s cousin...also his son-in-law. Mohammed’s cousin married Mohammed’s daughter Fatima, their son and aire to the Islamic caliphate was killed by a tribe from present day Syria who would later identify as Sunni.
This is going to blow up to new heights. Iran is going to invade...er help Iraq militarily and TAKE IT OVER. What a waste of manpower and money GW made of this to finish what his daddy didn’t have the balls to finish. There is 20 years of blame to go around, but it will fall on Zero’s shoulders.
History will put the blame on him and his minions. God help us all when Israel steps in this foray and nukes them all.
