#3 Iran still has some time and it makes sense for them to wait a bit and see if we will do their job for them. That way we would both spend the money and blood and take the political heat. ISIS isn't even close to strong enough to take Baghdad. A siege might have worked in the absence of Iran, but Iran can easily break a siege when they choose to do so. |

#2 Can Iran allow this type of shit? I'd think that they would unleash pretty much anything to prevent ISIS from winning Iraq. Where is their air-force? |

#1 It is not clear at the time of writing whether ISIS will launch a military attack on Baghdad, or even if it could take the heavily armed city in a pitched battle. Unclear to some possibly. Most effective sieges leave an obvious exit and quick avenue to death. This may not end well. |
