#2 Another bad call. I wish we'd allowed more of the Sadrists to dash themselves on the IEDs of Daesh.

#3 "cover up local forces victories"? Oh really. Stuck, dying by the thousands, disorganized grabastic leadreship, and sheer fanaticism and bloodshirst with no strategy other than "Get em!".

That's a real "victory". Ought to wash our hands of these idiots and let ISIS slice them up and BBQ them.

#5 The trouble is, if ISIS is driven out, they will claim that it was their victory, and otherwise it will be our defeat. Heads they win and tails we lose. Very clever on our part!

#6 I must've missed something - wasn't the final offensive agz the ISIS/ISL in Tikrit allegedly stalled ergo the collective IGA Govt-Army, Kurd, + Shiite demand for expanded US Airstrikes???

#7 Surely you don't expect the Sadrists to make sense do you?
