In Europe no. Europeans are far from being PC like americans have become.

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.

The Kurds are well-motivated. They're used to being targeted when shite hits the fan, so they took their security dead serious when given semi-autonomy in their part of Iraq.

Yeah, they still have some "real" white folks over there - not like the pansy, pasty, beta, cracka-assed crackas we have over here.

Good post and very true. They have a history of being between the vice. Al Baghdadi (spelling?) really is a very good strategy guy - pitting the Sunni vs Shia coupled with the old resentment was a smart idea for his cause. Hopefully the people see it for what it is though and take swift action. The troubling thing is seeing our work there literally explode while Barry goes golfing. Where is our leader TT9/VB/Rexican? Is it not his problem any longer?

I think the most likely scenario is a stalemate. The Shia militias will likely defend Baghdad fiercely. The Kurds will hold their ground. ISIS will maintain control of their captured Sunni territories unless Iran helps the Shia push them out.

I wouldn't blame Obama on this b/c it was going to happen regardless after the invasion. Especially after we disbanded their military. It was only a matter of time.

You mean that well-regulated militia isn't really worth a shite?

And this is a problem isn't it? Shea's and Sunni's can't get along with each other and yet we try to play sides in a battle that is not winnable.
It's like playing all-against-all football when you were a kid. Multiple groups are fighting against a common enemy, but fighting each other at the same time. It's getting hard to keep score.

He doesn't call 911 because he's afraid the cops will find his meth lab that's inside his storage shed.

That looks so much like western pa or upstate newyork

If Iran was smart they would send two tank columns to Baghdad, bail out a fellow Shia, and turn Irag into their new gas station.
Speaking of tanks, where is the Irag air force, where are their tanks? Maliki is an idiot for not having 50-100k professional soldiers as his "Republican Guard".

I agree, but long term terrorist campaigns like what we saw with Al Zarkawi would be too much for them to bare IMO. All it would do is give time for ISIS to recruit new members and continue their pot shot slaughter videos. That is one thing I've liked about El-Sisi of Egypt - he thwarted the MB with the quickness.

No matter how you slice it, we're in the DANGER ZONE.

No, given the chance, the Shi'a militias will be every bit as brutal and probably worse. In fact, they're probably already doing a lot of the same crap - they just aren't dumb enough to broadcast it to the world. They're also much bigger, just as well armed, and just as motivated. Trying to imagine ISIS going block to block through Sadr City or Khadimiyah gives me a tingly feeling...I wonder how they like the taste of copper-tipped EFP's.

You do know the ones actually holding off these animals from Baghdad and other Shi'a cities right now are "well-regulated militias"...specifically, Promised Day Brigades, Sadrists, etc.
