It is a majority Sunni city. So having Shia Iraqi military take it over is not going to work out the day after.

Has she learned nothing in all her years in the State Dept.
Sunni can only be ruled by Sunni and Shia can only be ruled by Shia, otherwise, unless you have an iron-fisted dictator like Sadaam Hussein, you are going to have nothing but chaos, guerrilla warfare, terrorist attack after terrorist attack upon civilians, etc.

And even with a strong dictator it’s a full time job to keep Sunni and Shia from killing each other.

I don’t see why we need to be a part of this at all. It is a religious civil war.

Well, the war will mean refugees when people run for their lives, plus Islamic states will not want people who are part of their “wrong version of Islam” to be let in.
