Discussion for article #224205
This reminds me of Sherman’s march to the sea, killing & burning anything in his path. Maybe some Sunnis who detest the violence will take sides with the rest of Iraqis although that probably isn’t likely because of fear.
What a mess!
Isn’t it ironic that the hawks who were demanding that Obama help the rebels in Syria were unwittingly demanding aid for ISIS–which started up as ‘rebels’ there?
I wonder if that guy John McCain was standing with in his famous effort to pressure Obama in Syria was an ISIS guy (I know that McCain was unaware he was standing with an extremist, but…). Obama has taken it all with appropriate caution.
