yep, the middle east is a sold out show ...
Huh, and half of the democrat party is incapable of working...what a coincidence.
Only half?
How many chances to the Iraqi’s get?
Nothing that a few hundred billion dollars can’t kick down the road.
So because Shiites have been victims he cannot trust them in military ranks?
Sounds familiar.
The US arming “friendly” rebels to fight ISIS is a bit like the cops arming the Bloods to help fight the Crips.
It’s pretty easy to see how this is going to turn out.
because its dead
Iraq is facing partition if it cannot defeat ISIS. Its army, like most standing Arab armies is dysfunctional mostly due to a corrupt and ineffective officer corp. Even the most motivated soldiers face catastrophe if they are poorly led. Bill O’Reilly is being mocked because he suggested mercenaries to battle ISIS. The idea is not farfetched and has historical precedent. Countries have hired experienced foreign officers in times of crisis. Iraq certainly has the money from oil exports. Mercenary officers and NCOs would help the Iraqi army become an effective fighting force.
“....almost half of Iraq’s army is incapable of working against the Islamic State militant group, while the other half needs to be rebuilt with the help of U.S. advisers....”
.
How do we separate the sheep from the goat before starting training?
If half of the Iraqi army is sympathetic toward ISIS, imagine how many ‘American’ Muslims secretly support these barbarians.
Returning American ISIS volunteers will have no problem finding safe houses.
It was Sunni soldiers who threw away their weapons rather than fight ISIS. So now they are the only ones we can trust to fight them? And if that doesn’t work, send US troops? What a moron.
Obama is using our money to keep these nuts occupied with killing each other.
But the price of war goes up when it is not fought in a manner intended to end it.
More lives, more Money.
FU Obama you really f’d this up!!
