I’m not knowledgeable at all about fighting wars in the mideast, but the Russians had a bad experience in Afghanistan.
Hmmm,seems to me Putin is a bit busy over in the Ukraine
Not true. Obama has repeatedly shown a willingness to interfere anywhere he can to bring militant Islamists to power. Libya, Egypt, Syria, releasing Taliban war criminals.
There is nothing so urgent in the Ukraine which can't be dealt with later and shoring up his southern flank will do nothing but help him. Not to mention that he would be in-line to get a good share of the oil revenues.
Possible scenarios, but what about Iran just coming over the border to help Maliki?
Putin a hero? You must be a Putinista.
“Putin could organize forces to push the Taliban back out of Iraq.”
Yeh if he had the money. Right now Putey is breaking into the egg money just to intimidate the Ukraine.
I think the whole civilized world should be helping Iraq right now. ISIS is as bad as it comes.
So are we.
Taliban?
He only wants to stay out of the way of the Caliphate being created. Every time the Assad government gets the upper hand in Syria King Barry sends them aid and floats the idea of bombing them like he did Libya.
Did I misspell Taliban? Or is my information not correct?
May God bless Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
Putin isn’t that dumb—why step into a mess like that. What would he gain? Watch as Iran steps in and takes the whole pile—and beats back the terrorists (it hires) before it marches on Saudi Arabia. A New Persian Empire is in the making. Let em fight—we were fools to stay so long? We do not need the oil now—let the Mullahs have the whole thing and cut off as many heads as they like.
One group you haven’t heard from is Israel...it is to their immediate benefit to help push back against the Al Queda group in Iraq....
May God bless Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

Flights from New York to Moscow are pretty cheap.
What are you waiting for?
You can bless him yourself.
Bluto: Hey! What's all this laying around stuff? Why are you all still laying around here for?
Stork: What the hell are we supposed to do, ya moron? We're all expelled. There's nothing to fight for anymore.
D-Day: [to Bluto] Let it go. War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [to Boon] Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard of something to say]
Bluto: The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
[Bluto runs out, alone; then returns]
And the US is a bit overstretched with Obama's armed and trained nation-busters busting apart a nation we "liberated" to do all that much about it.
