It's Monday there ... which is when ISIS said they were going to attack. It's on now, and it looks like they're on the way to taking over Iraq and splitting the country up ... which is actually what some said we should have done when we were there ... break it up into three parts.

HE will read about the slaughter in the newspaper or maybe on TV after his golf game. What an incredible jerk!

ISIS is going to takeover unless we do something. With Obama, he might ask the leader of ISIS for a golf summit.

I don’t think 12K terrorists can take over Baghdad. They have help from Iran and others. The total force can’t be only 12K. In any event it should not be that hard to destroy them via drones from the air if they are marching.

These tend to be guys in pickup trucks with automatic rifles and rpgs. As I understand it, they have come up against troops with bradleys, abrahms, and other advanced weapons systems. These troops tend to just turn their weapons over without using them.

We have 2 possible answers:

1. They are cravenly cowardly behind their abrahms tank.

2. This is phony, and they are Sunnis and simply standing down.

What makes the second the likely response is that the Kurds don’t seem threatened at all.

One B-52 strike several days ago could have put a serious dent in they capabilities to attack with absolutely no risk to American lives.

They were in the open and sitting ducks. ‘’

It would have been the Highway of Death Ver 2

Instead Obama did nothing

This guy is playing for the other side - it’s just as simple as that

Breaking Iraq into three parts gives Iran massive power in the region. Iran will take the southern part with the oil... Sunnis will get the crap in the middle and Turkey will go hard line and take the north. It’s not a good solution for the United States. I guess to cement the deal the Iranians could step in and ‘save’ the Americans... Nah, it can’t go that weird...
