#1 Hmm. The Persians have tipped their hand as to why they really want to be in northeastern Iraq 'helping' the fight against ISIL/ISIS/AQI/whatever.

They never did like the Kurds and I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

Might as well go in, see their defenses and infrastructure while 'helping' and then eradicate these 'infidels', too.

The Persians play chess pretty well.

#2 One more reason that I was never comfortable with this "arrangement" of Zero.

Once he pulled out of Iraq I was pretty sure that the whole place was going to go boom in some way and that I wasn't going to want any part of it.

From his Libyan adventure to his red line in Syria to all of this crap we've been screwed by our own regime.

#3 Mullah Richard: It's worse than that, ISIS has basically been coming in and killing everyone in the regions Maliki and the Shia establishment didn't like.

"OK, but it's hot"
