And that isn't the only layer to this because you also have the Kurds that want independence. Iran and Turkey will ensure that doesn't happen because they have ethnic Kurds within their respective borders that wish to link with their Iraqi brothers and sisters to form their Kurdistan nation. Iran and Saudi Arabia have a lot of bad blood between each other and Iraq is the home of where the massive schism in Islam occurred.
Stay out!
Bombing Revolutionary guard helps ISIS. Bombing ISIS helps the Revolutionary guard. Both are proven to have links to terror attacks against civilians.
The winning move is not to play!

(45,806 posts)we destroyed their Country. Saddam was a bad guy, but he kept the lid on things and the people's lives were much better then than they are now. I never wish evil on anyone, but I do wish evil things on Shrub and his cohorts for what they did.

(89 posts)Media is on their false equivalency crusade. Both George Bush and Barak are to blame for this disaster. Yes, I am sure we would be dealing with issue if we had never invaded Iraq....give me a break.
ISIS will be turned back and all this hysteria will go away. People are acting like they have taken over the entire country. The media always overreacts to situations as they are happening. Do not send one single bomb pres and when it cools down without our use of military force the media can laugh at John Fucking McCain.
I just wish the media had spent this much time looking into the claims of WMDs.

(43,890 posts)We have invaded Iraq and visited death and destruction upon its people. We too are motivated by a thirst for black gold, and we also genuinely believe in the moral superiority of our religion. Not since the conquest of Mexico has there been such a lopsided mismatch of weapons. The "war" with Iraq and the siege of Baghdad may not last three weeks but its aftermath will reverberate for countless generations. May the satisfaction of our victory outlast the collective memory of those who are about to receive our Democratic "blessing"
