America and Iran on Monday took another step towards direct military co-operation in Iraq as pro-government forces prepared a counter-attack to retake the key western city of Ramadi.
Iran’s defence minister, Hossein Dehghan, flew into Baghdad for talks with the government after the Iraqi army fled from a concerted attack by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on Ramadi, the capital of the majority-Sunni Anbar province.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Until he, too, is my enemy. Then he is my enemy and I will use the nukes he gave me on him.

What would it take for the army to take a stand? Sadly, I doubt there are any true patriots in command positions anymore. But how about those that were drummed up? Will they all rise up together and demand change?

Anything he can do to strengthen expand support enable protect fund or arm the most rabid dangerous anti-Americsn islamonazis — you can count on O. (And weaken USA - and attack Christianity). Consistent reliable patterns of his behavior.

Why? He was sending arms to ISIS via Libya (among other places probably). Now our military is supposed to go fight an military insurgency that WE ARMED and trained?
Goodness. I can’t keep track of the levels of stupidity here.

You should have wiped ISIS out while they were outside Ramadi. Now you have to clear it in urban welfare.

How long before 0bama arranges joint exercises on mockups of US Carriers? Will Iran help with Jade Helm 15? In the name of cooperation, of course.

Battalion?
Once Imam Obama assist Iran w/ ISIS in Iraq, Iran will simply annex Iraq just like it has with Yemen.
To: McGruff
Iran has had more influence on Obama’s Middle East policy than any other factor. From Obama’s refusal to aid the Iranian election protesters in 2009, to the total withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, to the farce he has played with Assad, Iran has called all the shots.
