So a western Christian-Alevi-Druze state
an eastern Shia state, a north-eastern Kurdistan and a land-locked Assyria safeguarded by NATO

I do not think that Baghdad is in any danger of falling to ISIS. Baghdad is a city with a couple million Shiites. ISIS would not be stupid enough to try to tackle it, they do not have the manpower. They would need an army of at least 100,000 fighters to take the city.
1. Get rid of Obama. He created ISIS and now he wants it to take over Iraq.
Obama is funding and arming ISIS. Why would he ever bomb them?
Ya think those in Iraq give a sh**t about our lawless violent borders, declining middle class/economy, fraudulent electoral process, millions out of work, or our corrupt govenrment run by well connected insiders? Ask them if they have any idea the U.S. Government has spent itself into a 19 trillion dollar hole.
Obama will never do any of this. But I’m not sure his successor will either. We have embraced this principle that you can’t cause collateral damage, which just plays into the hands of our adversaries.
Baghdad will fall—watch as the Iraq Government flees south and west into Iran. Its about WILL, The IS people have it—Obama and the Iraq people do not. It is just a question of time—when the final attack comes it will be quick, and bloody—all the airpower in the world (short of de-populating nukes) can stop this tidal wave. Lots of folks are going to die—the river will run red with blood-—As we watch we will pound our chest and do ZIP.
We should also build up new states in the area that will be anti-Islamic state -- a new Iraq consisting of the Shia portions, a Kurdistan, a new Assyria, an Alevi-Christian confederation in western Syria. The Sunni heartland between the two can be owned by the Islamic state and cut-off by fencing + ditches and we use the special ops and airpower to pick them off slowly while at the same time people will rebel because they won't be able to create a functioning state
