A top Iranian military commander is at the forefront of the Iraqi military’s biggest offensive yet against Islamic State militants in the country. Gen. Ghasem Soleimani, who previously played a role coordinating the counteroffensive against ISIS in June, when the militant group seized significant territory in northern Iraq, was overseeing at least part of the operation to recapture Tikrit, witnesses told Reuters on Tuesday.
The Iranian commander, who leads the powerful Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force, is coordinating operations on the eastern flank of the offensive from Albu Rayash, a village captured from ISIS two days ago. "[Soleimani] was standing on top of a hill pointing with his hands toward the areas where Islamic State are still operating," a witness near Albu Rayash told Reuters. Two powerful Iraqi Shiite paramilitary leaders were also spotted accompanying Soleimani.

Wait till 0bama lets them have NUKES.
At the rate he is going, Obama is going to have the US submit to Iran or at least Islam.
We're already submitting to islam, sharia law complete with burkas, etc. is just around the corner. Don't expect congress or especially the courts to stop him.
How many non-ISIS Sunnis will be slaughtered you think?
ISIS are despised but using barrel bombs as Assad has done is very onerous too. http://news.yahoo.com/human-rights-watch-denounces-syria-barrel-bomb-attacks-200337900.html
Here is what every lib and dumb ass in America needs to learn real fast about Muslims. This Brit gets it.

Obama lets Iran take over the United States Super Power Spot
Barry's quick U.S. withdrawal from Iraq was about handing Iraq over to Iran. Where's this dude's REAL birth certificate?
Supply lots of ammo to both sides and pray for lots of casualties on both sides
Why are barrel bombs any worse than regular bombs? Sounds like a poor man’s FAE (aka. MOAB).
“One of the reasons why president Obama can’t let Benjamin Netanyahu stand in the way of Iran’s nuclear ambitions is because he needs Tehran’s troops to fight ISIS. Today the long awaited offensive against ISIS in Tikrit reeled off with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the lead, if not in actual command. Julian Barnes of the Wall Street Journal explains that Iran will be supplying the men and leadership. The US will be waiting by the phone to supply air support if requested. The phone has not rung.”

Bibi warned us today in his great speech how Iran is taking over Iraq and other middle East countries.
On FOX they said that Iraq didn’t inform U.S. of their plans to take back Tikrit because they are working with the Iranians.
The Shi’ite Iraqis are most certainly working with the Shi’ite Iranians against the Sunni ISIS. Of course, after they extricate ISIS, a similar level of brutality won’t be far behind, just executed by Shi’ites instead of Sunnis.
Didn’t Netanyahu name Bagdad as one of the four capitals that Iran had just taken over?
I doubt he said “taken over,” but they have a very strong influence there. They had a military presence (low-key, cloak-and-dagger type) in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq when I was there in 2007.
Wow, is there a warrant out for his arrest yet?
“In the Middle East, Iran now dominates four Arab capitals, Baghdad, Damascus, Beirut and Sanaa. And if Iran’s aggression is left unchecked, more will surely follow”
