Exactly, not much to do. What I have heard though is the Shiites will defend Shiite territories and cities but Rhamadi was a Sunni town.

Those people are absolutely worthless.

I suspect that most of the progressives will act the same way in the upcoming civil war. Their loyalty to the cause really only goes as far as there is free stuff for them. Whe the free stuff disappears, they will scatter.

Funny....They appeared to have the will to fight when the US military was fighting for the town.

Those people are absolutely worthless. Who are you referring to, the Iraqi soldiers, or our government?

There are no bad soldiers, only bad officers.

You mean Iraqis aren't willing to fight and die for ideals like individual liberty and self-determination?
Lol, what idiot ever thought they would?
Oh, that's right, George Bush.

It’s like Michael Corleone observed in Godfather II, “Soldiers are paid to fight, rebels aren’t.”

Exactly. Now the president doesnt have their backs anymore. A handful of little airstrikes, but no boots on the ground.

Was that after he abandoned his men in Russia?

My neighbor did 3 tours of Iraq, helped train Iraqis. I asked him if he would go back, he said no. They were lazy and untrainable.
But I can’t dismiss it was a staged weapons dump, again.

It’s Obama’s fault. HE has empowered ISIS.

The Americans will come save the day. Why fight?
Another failed Obama strategy.
