I was in southern Iraq doing contract work when Maliki “won” reelection. What you said is spot on. Everyone who worked for me said they voted for Alawi.

I check the chechen sites now and then they are promoting ISIS. Betcha there are a lot of chechens heading that way.
Perhaps other recruits too.

Anything is possible.
But my ignorant opinion is that his leaving the scene will be the result of bullets fired by one sect or the other.

That's pretty much the extent of the savage muslim animal nature.

I would suggest that any attempted putsch to get rid of Maliki include enticing golden parachutes for him, like a palace in Dubai and a bank vaults in Switzerland and Tehran.

My choice is to let nature and history run out its course. Cleaner, cheaper and instantly permanent...

You must have read this book, and a few others like it.

Unholy Terror, Bosnia, Al Qaeda and the Rise of Global Jihad, John R. Schindler, Zenith press, 2007.

That's seven years ago. What are the odds Baraq Hussein has read it?

I have The Wolves of Islam, a gift from a fellow freeper after I did some thread contributions here.

Some travel time to the border in the late 90's and lots of lots of time on their websites...

I was curious to see if the Wahabi sect would support or deny the Sunni version of Islam and surprised to see they gave it wholehearted support.

The books you posted look great. Betcha Amazon has them...thanks for the suggestions.

Chechen-led group swears allegiance to head of Islamic State of Iraq and Sham

From last November, so they are in. And if the chechens are in, things are ramped up significantly.

Isis will take Baghdad by hook or by crook. Remember Beslan and Budyonnovsk. Even with Shamil gone, they have learned a lot along the way.
