Hard to tell, but do recall that the Ba’ath Party was founded by a Syrian Christian by the name of Michael Aflaq back in 1947, and there were Christians in both the Iraqi and Syrian Ba’ath Parties.

Tariq Aziz, the former Iraqi FM, immediately comes to mind. His real name is Mikhail Yuhanna.

But I have no qualms with watching ISIS get its fanny kicked by its former allies. :D

Baath Party goes back 50 years as a secular party in Iraq, Syria and maybe some other places. If they can re-organize they can give ISIS a run for the money.
The world could care less when Muslims kill each other. Only Jews killing Muslims like Gaza riles up the European left-socialist-Muslims. Of course Jews are dying too in Gaza

Will we arm Saddam’’s old party? What irony!
