apparently the volunteers haven't assembled fast enough. Don't they outnumber ISIS by 10:1 or some crazy number?
This is what I don't understand. I am constantly told by Islam apologist on here that the majority of the Muslim people want peace. So we have the Iraqi army outnumbering ISIS by 10 to 1 and instead of fighting them and taking them out, they throw down their weapons and run? Why aren't they willing to fight to keep the radical element out if that's really what they want?

From what I understand, Maliki did his best impression of Nasser and put people in place based upon loyalty rather than competence.
That played a large part in how the Israelis fricked them up so badly in the Six Day War.

B/c they are not properly trained. They are equipped but have no idea what to do in a firefight. Some of their best leaders were kicked out for political reason. This is basic military understanding and has nothing to do with Islam but use it to push your agenda any way you can.

Seems like the Kurds are the only ones with balls in this fight (other than ISIS obviously). And they seem to be very well organized for the most part.
