No, and Iranian proxy state.
This is why Sykes-Picot happened. One of the reasons, anyway.
Exactly what Biden proposed years ago.
That was Joe Biden’s plan back in the day.

ISIS car bomb kills 24 in baghdad
The Sadr-ists are hopeless at war.
They would be sheep before ISIS.
This business is an attempt of a minority to usurp the rest of the Shiite establishment that doesn’t support Sadr.
We'll see that in Kabul first, but yeah, we'll eventually see it in Baghdad too.
And both will be on Bush. He started both of those messes, and he's responsible, just as LBJ is responsible for Vietnam. Sure, Obama made things worse.
But Obama is playing the part of Gerald Ford here. And I don't blame Ford for the fall of Saigon, even though it was on his watch.
I will now retreat to my underground bunker to await the incoming fire.
Would not have worked.
Turkey wouldn’t have a Kurdish state de jure. It exists de facto anyway.
The Sunni state would easily invade and defeat the Shiite state, regardless of the relative numbers. The Shiites are not ready to run a country or an army.
The uselessness of the Shiites was THE big surprise during the US occupation. They could do nothing for themselves.
now some pictures on twiiter showing tents going up in the green zone for a sit in
In other news drilling a hole in water still doesn’t work either.
The U.S. created no system in Iraq, it was created entirely by Iraqi's. The U.S. only enabled them to create their new system. with the removal of Saddam. We did not direct them as to what their constitution would or would not contain.
70% of the Iraqi’s who I worked with and fought alongside were decent human beings with a very conservative outlook on life and family.
I see a lot of upheaval that will end up hurting a lot of good people, and serve thugs and criminals at both the top and the bottom.

We actually did. The system Iraq wanted was division into 3 states but we forced a unworkable federalism on them because Bush wouldn’t face reality.
sounds like they are leaving the building now
Any word about U.S. Embassy staff?
Good job there bammy, how does it feel to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of your fellow muslims? Your moon-god isn't going to look too favorably on that.
Of course, the MSM is ignoring this story lest another Obama failure be revealed.
Thank you Barak Obama.
