This part of the world cannot be democratized. The people are tribal and that’s how they have always run things. We’re foolish to believe otherwise. And the parts of Iraq lost to ISIS are gone forever. No Iraqi army will ever take them back. This civil war is almost over. Can ISIS take Baghdad? Probably not right now. But in time, as America withdraws, they can. And this part of the world has nothing but time on their hands. We want things wrapped up right now. They will wait for as long as it takes.
I do think they can and will take Baghdad.
