If Maliki truly opposes ISIS, I have no problem with being a dictator if that’s what it takes. Now is not the time for factional fighting when the country is falling apart.

Iraq needs a strong man. Preferably someone a lot more enlightened than was Hussein.

[Sarcasm, in case anyone needs clarity]
The president, contrary to popular opinion, is not in fact doing nothing during this crisis. He already dispatched the secretaries of state and homeland security to study the situation, take notes, and provide recommendations for improvement... he’s hoping for a much smoother operation next time this kind of action is tried ... Jan 2017.
[/sarcasm]

It won’t be long until Bagdad is under 16 foot of water. Isis has the control of the dam

The present administration in Washington is desperate to keep it's precious hands washed, though they wanted the job so badly and cling to the illusion of what they believe to be "power" so tenaciously.

If all this weren't so heart attack serious as the Reichstag Fire, it might even be entertaining.

With ISIS controlling most of the country I guess the only place to hole up would be in Baghdad. Sounds like he is resisting the US Sunni Muslim president’s request for change of PMs.

It saddens me every time I read anything about the Middle East and it includes the name of our president:

BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

My God, the idiot voters in this country!
