#1 Its tribal. I said this years ago - Shia will be the biggest bigots on the planet if given the chance in Iraq to stomp the Sunni who did the same to them for decades.

Folks these f**kers hate each other in a way that civilized people cannot comprehend. All in the name of Allah and which relative of Muhammad they choose to believe.

#2 So does that US Law also outlaw aid to the "moderate" wing of ISIS that we are supplying with arms and ammo in Syria?

Clearly illustrates that total 'victory' requires a total, all out effort. Our 'Marquess of Queensberry' ROE will only assure Iraqi failure and ISIS victory. Let them slug it out.

"GET IT ON!"

#4 Let me look into my crystal ball. Civilized, moderate Iran steps in---controls the atrocities. A valuable ally. Proves they can be trusted.

#5 Bravo! Yes, that's it! Iranian moderates to the rescue. "Crytal ball?" Rubbish. You bloody Russo genius, you've out Vladimir'd the regime again.

You've missed your calling, er, huh, perhaps not.

#7 On the flip side, they may be eligible for a "community policing" grant from the US Department of Justice, with all kinds of neat gear for free.

#8 Best plan would be to air drop arms and just let em kill each other off. Also just to shut up with with the hand wringing. I don't care if they killed every last one while killing each other. Besides the Kurds.

#9 ISJV set the terms, so long as there are no urination or undies photos.

#10 So if ISIS wants to end U.S. assistance to Iraq (or anyone else) they only have to fake a few videos?

Cheap. We already know they have some good video-editing skills (hollywood).
