1. As far as I know the US troops left Iraq more or less completely (there are some to secure your embassy in Bagdad). Therefore I doubt that Iraq is full auf fire control radar or missle lauch sites to fight Iranian WMDs. There are rather plenty Iranian troops (Shiites) in Iraq in the meantime to fight against ISIS (Sunnis). Obummer gave up Iraq to Iran a long time ago. A surrender without need and a betrayal to roundabout 5000 GIs, who lost their life for the US in this godforsaken country. In my eyes the biggest American bust since the Vietnam war.

2. A silly question: What could be the strategical interest of Iran to drop missles on European cities? Since the UK and France are nuclear powers, such warfare could be quite unhealty for them. Furthermore everything they have comes from Germany. Germany is still their most important partner for technology, spare parts and products they can not buy in China. Iranian missles over Europe therefore are quite implausible.

Regards from Europe

Ah, the logical European mind. Why would Muslim jihadists attack your cities? It would be bad for business. You sell them stuff their mullahs need to pacify the people

Ergo ISIS - the personification of Muslim rage and insanity - is the fault of the US and let the US try to contain it ... For which Europeans will continue to castigate the US for being warmongering cowboys and sanctimoniously propose “peaceful” solutions like sanctions which of course do not apply to European business

“Hopalong” is getting mighty tired of both being blamed for creating the bad guys and criticized for trying to stop them
