“We’re going to need about 80,000 competent Iraqi security forces to recapture territory lost, and eventually the city of Mosul, to restore the border,” Army General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff,

Good luck with that.

A big chunk of those will join ISIS, some will take their weapons and head for home and the rest will flee.

Attack from three sides and then bomb the crap out of them when they escape to the fourth.

Perhaps Iraq should start training their troops to be competent.

We HAD Mosul!

Tell Obama to suit up and make him go there and get back what he lost!

What I’d LIKE to see is the US working only with the Kurds in the retaking of Mosul. The arab Iraqis aren’t to be trusted. Kurds have exponentially more courage than any other group in the region.

I’m not open to that.

I am open to ‘providing’ Mosul with a couple of nuclear weapons, though.

And when did we begin training Iraqi troops? Ten years ago? Only 8 years ago?

How long does it take, to train an arab to stand and fight?
