Doesn't look good, and after seeing the pictures at the site, what will the volunteers have to fight with? It states that they (Iraqi officials) are asking for the US to make air strikes and Iran is intervening, as well. This looks like a pretty desperate situation. Not only is AQ not on the run, but new groups are organizing as fast as they can, and a new leader has emerged that is more deadly than Osama bin Laden. The ME is exploding! The article states that the Iraqi forces have stalled this group, but I wonder. It would be hard to stall a group that fears no one and has made such strides in a couple days. It appears to me that the Iraqi government has been descending into chaos, itself, here recently so how effective will it be? And one has to ask the question...what happens if they capture Maliki and other top officials and publicly shoot them?

How many men do we have left in Iraq? Are they all in Baghdad?

Thanks.

Biblical prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes.

Iraq's government has indicated a willingness for the US military to conduct airstrikes against radical Islamist militants

I'm sure we'd be willing to accept Iraqi help in fighting the Taliban, too.

10 years and billions of dollars of building the iraq army...

And they are taking kids off the street to fight.

Wait.....IRAN has sent troops into IRAQ? And nobody is screaming?

[thackney]

They’ll be fighting us since they’ll be fighting people using our weapons.

Anyone believe it’s “JUST A COINCIDENCE” this has been timed to correspond with Obama releasing terrorist and demoralizing our military?

Better get ready boys and girls this terrorist offensive isn’t going to be staying overseas, they’re bringing it to us this time.

Now that it appears amnesty is gone for this session of congress, get ready for “spontaneous” protest by millions of illegals which will be followed by “spontaneous” terrorist attacks.

If the muslims overseas “spontaneously” begin attacks against McDonalds and their Golden Arches you can pretty much guarantee a terrorist attack is planned for the Gateway to the West Arch which symbolizes to Hispanics the white man stealing Hispanic lands.

What you will see on the news with an attack on the Gateway to the West Arch, is millions of illegal invaders cheering a terrorist attack against the US and millions of muslims cheering the destruction of the symbol of Americas presence in their countries, the “McDonalds Arch”.

Our lefty friends will get the race war the Weather Underground always wanted as a path to absolute power.

Here is a very good website for war news, and nothing but war news.

Several interesting possibilities here.

1) Iran will invade Iraq, maybe invited by the government of Iraq, to drive off the Sunni al-Qaeda. Then Iran will likely not leave, but take over the government.

2) If the Sunnis lose, this is an end game for them. Sunnis will be driven from Iraq or butchered. They have already bragged that they intend to move into Jordan and overthrow the king. But they may be pushed into Jordan in weakness, and the Bedouins there will likely smite them.

3) The Kurdish Peshmurga has taken the place of the fleeing Iraqi army in Kirkuk, which is also oil rich. This gives them a chance to expel the Arabs there and make the city fully Kurd. Major oil revenues for them if they can pull it off.

4) “Potato boy” Sadr is trying to raise his Shiite black army again, but they will just defend the Shiite holy cities against the Sunnis. No help at all for Baghdad. But it will make the southeast to the Gulf pretty impenetrable.

Read about some of the crazy seesaw battles from WW2. I’d let things settle a bit.
