That was quick.

From Twitter: Islamic State militants advance east from Iraq’s Ramadi towards Habbaniya base, witnesses say - @Reuters

[AppyPappy]

We should send more guns.

[A CA Guy]

Unless there is an attempt to tax them Obama will not get involved.

[RayChuang88]

It’s going to be a bloodbath in Ramadi soon. Especially since the Sunnis and Shi’ites really hate each other.

[TexasCajun]

How to lose a war that was once won.

Remember the good ole days?

Jackass Obama never wanted anything to do with "Bush's War" even to the point of abandoning the country.

The Moslem three sided Civil War is full on. For the Shias the enemy includes especially Israel as it does for the ISIS faction of the Sunnis. The two Sunni factions intermingle at the edges and allegiances change and change again while their cores claw at each others’ throats. America is in this fight in a big way and it is not totally clear which faction America supports deep down. It seems most likely tat Sunni America will prove to be supporting the Caliphate Sunnis in the end, against the Arab states and against Iran and against Israel.

[arthurus]

Hussein has very much made it his own war but his goals are not similar to Bush’s goals and he understands the facts on the ground much better than any gope or non Moslem Democrat ever could.

Huh, we train and give them weapons, and when ISIS shows up and farts, they abandon their equipment and run for their lives. There must have been chickensh!t and feathers everywhere. Thanks, 0bama!

Saw a comment elsewhere saying 0bama's strategy of letting the ragheads kill each other was working perfectly and we'd go back in after the ground cooled off. SMH... Where do they get this crap?

[EQAndyBuzz]

In hindsight, seems that the only person in this entire affair who was right was Joe Biden.

Three countries. One Sunni, One Shiite, One Kurd.

[AU72]

Iraq becomes 3 countries:

Kurdistan
Isisstan
Iranastan

[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

Three countries. One Sunni, One Shiite, One Kurd.

The world doesn't need any more moslem countries.

[Iron Munro]

No problem - Remember that ISIS is just the Jay-Vee.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I take your statement as sarcasm but I ask, “So the Iraqi Army can abandon them in the street when they run away?”

[Joe Brower]

Yes, good sir, you have summed up the situation quite well.

[expat2]

A bit late for that. If the Shiite forces couldn’t hold Ramadi from defensive positions, they sure aren’t going to have much luck attacking the Sunni defensive positions.

[Steven Tyler]

Remain Calm!
Everything will be Better when Iran gets the Bomb!

Oh wait......
