About 2.5 years till Obama leaves office. What are the odds that the State Dept will discover that ISIS is the best thing since sliced bread before that happens? Kinda like they did with the Muslim Brotherhood.
This is going well. If these guys ever attack a golf course, Obama will be all over them.
This is a disaster for all who backed and participated in any of the US military projections into Iraq hoping for an outcome that would improve the security of the US and the region that would last decades.
Baghdad would appear to be vulnerable from the north and the attempt to revive the Shia-led Iraqi is in tatters.
I spent a couple of days at Speicher. Real dustbowl piece of crap. Just like these hajis’ country. Maybe they’ll all kill each other off.
Here is the related McClatchy article:

“IRBIL, Iraq — Islamic State gunmen overran a former U.S. military base early Friday and killed or captured hundreds of Iraqi government troops who’d been trying to retake Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit, the worst military reversal Iraqi troops have suffered since the Islamist forces captured nearly half the country last month.”
Will the Iraqi people run Maliki out of the country? Will Iran step in, formally, to save him? Will the U.S., Turkey, the Kurds all sit on their hands if Iran does?
Oh what crisis we create when weakness for ourselves we preach!!
What kind of dumb cowards are these Shia? Why surrender? They're going to execute you, not put you in a POW camp until the war is over!
I'm sorry to have to say this, but at least save one bullet for yourself.
