I think there're plenty of Iraqis that are willing to fight but they have to have the leadership, support, and coordination to succeed.The top US military assessment of the Iraqi army is 26 of the 50 army brigades are capable of standing up to ISIS fighters. This is more than enough ground forces to defeat ISIS.
That is a most relevant stat that must be emphasized. But it was very obvious that it was not the entire Iraqi military that ran when the IS terrorists launched the assault last June. Yet the news media in the US fed the impression that the entire Iraqi army was on the run.

Gonna be amusing to see what happens with online vitriol if by some miracle a Republican wins in 2016 and still can't make everything perfect forever.
It has become clear Obama is over matched at every juncture. The man has an impressive resume of failures to weigh him and America down
Here is an update and bump for Jake Starkey.

Val Jarrett is holding off the attack until after the November elections. It's going to be bad enough as it is. If her ISIS troops take Baghdad -- well it just totally throws away all the blood and sacrifice and may cost the Dems another Congressional seat or two
Geaux 10052242Will Obama let ISIS burn the American flag and raise the black flag of death at the US Embassy?
RR 10052463Yes he will, and secretly cheer while golfing.
CrusaderFrank and Geaux4it based their world on what they wish it to be, not on what it is. Letting their personal feelings filters further their distortion of reality.
(1) Baghdad is not Saigon and will not fall.
(2) ISIS ISIL is not the NVA.
(3) Geaux4it is not a patriot.
Baghdad will not fall.
Total misinformation and an effort to deceive. Post #206 was posted on Nov. 4, but the news article was written 12 June. Posted in the current events forum as if it was current.Here is an update and bump for Jake Starkey.

Nah, none of that asshole. It just means someone posted misinformation to make it look like over six months after the air campaign was begun the campaign was failing when in fact the campaign was showing great progress and success. The ISIS troops in the article from June were pushed back and rotting in the desert or buried in shallow graves by the time of the November posting. ISIS was running in the opposite direction. They were running away from Baghdad. That means posting it, a June article in November as a current event is a lame attempt at misinformation. Claiming victory for ISIS when it doesn't apply to reality by celebrating former success is cheer leading. Exposing the lie is a kind of bitch slapping.ROFL~
So what is the point of these last two posts? What are you ladies trying to convey?
That ISIS doesn't exist? That it does exist, but is not a threat? That it's not in Iraq? That it's in Iraq, but not causing any problems and that the OP, which claims that ISIS intends to conquer Iraq is false?
You're not being clear.
Are you gals intending to cheerlead for ISIS or is that palpable reality intrinsic to your posted advocacies merely something that you felt so strongly about that your limited cognitive means was unable to adequately shield it?
Please... make your points clear.

No need to put a straw man up LostKeys. It is clear that what we put up is inarguable.
It was known when the IS terrorist assault started last June that an landlocked army with no air power or air defenses could never take over Iraq. That you continue to defend IS terrorists on the declarations of their intent to conquer Iraq shows how foolhardy you are. ISIS cannot take over Baghdad or most of Iraq because the Shiites and Kurds far outnumber Sunnis. Giving credibility to these ruthless terrorists on the basis of their propaganda an what they 'intend' to do not what the have capability to do gives them a false sense of power. You ought to stop doing it. That is the point? Join the real world.
