By whom? /s
Can America be saved? ...that is my question...
ISIS is saving Iraq for Islam....
Should it be saved?
It’s a hell hole and probably always will be.
All I want to see is Kurdistan broken off and recognized.
The rest of the place is nothing but a Anglo-French construct.
Saved for whom? Both sides are pestilence.
The war in Iraq is lost. Obama is at fault.
“Can Iraq be saved?”
No, not with democrats in power.
Can the U.S. be saved?
I’m just fuming over the American lives lost and wounded over that sand pile. And for what?
Not without a surveillance state cracking down on the enforcement of sharia law.
Same answer as has been given since 1990.
No matter how many times new idiots ask the same question, there is not going to be a different feasible solution.
For Iraq to be saved, someone has to WANT it to be saved. I don’t see that dynamic at work.
I didn't say it would be easy....just that it can be done.
A better question is, what happens if Iraq is not saved?
"Iraq" couldn't be saved in 1921.
Now? Don't be ridiculous.
McCain just cannot help himself. He must dream of sending more men and weapons to the Middle East every night. One has to wonder how much money this creep gets from the MIC.
If one side is really losing, give it a little support—but only a little, to keep balance, bolster enthusiasm and the like.
Can Iraq be saved?
Not with these yahoos running the show.
Iraq as we know is pretty much is GONE. Let the Kurds have their nation, ISIS will control the areas they control. The shia area will go under Iran.
Iraq could be saved, but not by Obama, just as he is not saving Afghanistan from the Taleban nor saving anyone from Syrian chemical weapons.
The muslims in Iraq are about 65% Shia & 35% Sunni. ISIS is a Sunni org. Iran is predominantly Shia, governed by Shia mullahs.
My guess is that Iraq will become the battleground between ISIS & Iran; a long & bloody war much like the Iran/Iraq war, with atrocities being the norm on both sides. Both will be determined to eradicate the heretics on the other side.
ISIS really has nothing to lose that it hasn’t stolen already. If things get bad for them they can just pack up & go back home to the EU.
Iran, however, risks bankruptcy, what with western sanctions in place, a country to maintain, & a limited supply of weaponry & ammo. A long war would impoverish the country.
Obama will increasingly look like a timid, weak fool caught in the middle. There is little chance he will actually make a difference in the war with his pinprick strikes on ISIS.
I really don’t care which side wins; both are the epitome of evil. I just hope our adversaries in the world do not take advantage of Obama’s cowardice.
Note to black US neighborhoods: This is what happens when police no longer police your area, pack up & go home. Lot’s of innocent people die violent deaths as the thugs dance on the graves.
