Iran says stay out. So any thought of putting troops alongside Quds Forces is nuts. They’ll just as soon shoot us. I say, wait until its a sectarian brawl, then carpet bomb both of ‘em.
That’s what I’m thinking too. Wait until they get back into the trench warfare, like their recent war where both sides were massing and taking turns doing ‘human wave’ attacks like Bronze age savages.
When enough of them are lined up, call in Arc light and use up all of our old, dusty iron dumb-bomb stock.
Allahu fubar to the sunny sides up, the shiits, the needing a Baathites, and all the Muckdars, Imams, mullahs and ululating maniacs can yell, “Habba dabba dabba!” at each other as their body parts are sailing through the stratosphere towards Paradise.
There are Christians fighting to protect Baghdad alongside the Shiites.
