If Obama were serious about stopping the ISIL offensive he would be forcing Saudi Arabia to stop its funding of the “Islamists”. Instead he is sending more young brave Americans to die in a quagmire. Time for an orderly and safe evacuation of the American embassy and put this whole sorry chapter behind us. No Americans should be captured or detained. The coming battle for Baghdad between hardened Sunni veteran fighters and the mostly novice Shi’ite militias and their equally untested Iranian “volunteers” won’t be pretty.
Your words will mean even more in a couple of weeks:
“Time for an orderly and safe evacuation of the American embassy and put this whole sorry chapter behind us. No Americans should be captured or detained.

“The coming battle for Baghdad between hardened Sunni veteran fighters and the mostly novice Shi’ite militias and their equally untested Iranian “volunteers” won’t be pretty.”
With the Ba’ath Party having put the band back together, having seized the biggest chemical weapons depot in the country, and in possession of some fine-looking howitzers; I’d expect a mass killing campaign like it’s 1988 - only this time against the Shia.
The Ba’ath Party was modeled on the Nazi Party - socialism based on race rather than class - The supremacy of the Arab race (translated as “The Arab Nation” or “Arab Nationalism” by Western apologists).
They have long insulted the Iraqi Shia by calling them “Persians”. It is a threat really, because the Ba’ath used race to justify genocide and ethnic cleansing of Kurds. I have talked to “former” Ba’athists who very spiritedly recommended levelling every building in East Baghdad (Sadr City) and killing every last person there, because “they aren’t even really Arabs”.
Expeienced mass murderers with the doctrine, organization and training to do it; now equipped with the means.
Get your popcorn now, it could be a big show.

To be more precise, that is American and Western money financing the terrorists but laundered through Saudi Arabia through immense purchases of crude oil and gas.
"Energy Independence" is more than just a cute slogan. It is essential to our survival.
