File under: Islamic State

#3 Recently in the whitehouse Biden was discussing his 3 state solution and said we have Shia, Sunni, Kurds.... Shouldn't there be 1 more?

The 3 part solution will not work because the oil in the ground is not equally divided.

#5 As I said earlier in the week, ISIS is the Iraqi Army's and Syria and Iran's way of going to war with Iraq's sunni population.

I mean, stop and think: a bunch of barbarians are coming over the hill, and you want to get away from them. Do you drive away in your HMMV, or get out and leave the vehicle with the engine running for the barbarian to find while you try to escape into the desert on foot?
