I’m not seeing any evidence of the Iraqi Army in this whole thing. This is Sunni vs Shiite
Not much sign of that. The US Obama regime is clearly siding with Shi’ite Iran.
The Iraqi army is predominantly Shi’ite, since the Sunni officers were removed after the BushII victory. So it is Sunni vs shi’ite Iraqi army (plus Iran help).
No. Obama is setting up Iran to nuke Israel and then the IDF would retaliate from hardened sites and from its subs, totally wiping out Iran. I am betting, however, that Israel has an anti missile capability we know not yet of. If that turns out to be true then Iran will launch and Israel will kill the missiles then have the choice before it of destroying Iran or refraining. Israel is probably restrained from using its air force to pre-empt by knowledge that the US Navy is ordered to shoot down any Israeli AC headed for Iran.
For Hussein Everything will, indeed, be Better when Iran gets the Bomb! That is, I believed designed to eliminate both Israel and Iran and leave the ME all to the Sunni.
What about a land for the Christian Assyrians — Mosul and Nineveh (all of Akkad in fact)

I support this.
I don’t see ISIS being all that good defensively either. Speed and terror is their game.
We beg to differ. The Iranians (Shi’ite Persians) hate the Sunni Arabs at least as much as they hate Israel (remember the long Iran/Iraq war). the first Iranian nuclear missile will target Ryad.
I'm cool with that.
What makes you think Hussein O is sunni?
Lets see how the Shiite/Iranians volunteers do agaisnt the mad on victory IS forces. My money is they will fight hard for a day or so then run like scared camels back to Baghdad. Iraq id done as a nation. Biden’s 3 part solution may become de-facto truth in time.
As best I can tell, these countries don’t like organized fighting. They prefer terrorism and guerrilla groups.
His direct training was in Sunni Djakarta. Moslems don’t ho around to different sects. They stay with the one they started with except a few will “convert” at the point of a sword. Mostly sunnis and shias, because of that, don’t try hard to convert each other and they don’t keep prisoners as prisoners. They either sell them or kill them or enslave the women and children.
It’s my understanding that his father and relatives in Kenya were Shia. Just because Djakarta was mainly Sunni, it does not mean that there were no shia there. Look at Iraq and Syria.
