#1 The Sunni are the key to the entire war on El Shatan.

For if they let Daesh overrun them for not seeing a better alternative to fight for, they themselves will forever be enslaved and in war.
But if fear of Baghdad misery or Shia slaughter is the motovation, I can understand that.

It would still not stop me from treating any of daesh strongholds like Dresden.

You side with Satan, you need to be wacked.

I Love all these people who have gone astray, and tough Love may have to be the answer.

My Prayers are offered.
Now I will grab my staff and clean my guns.

#3 Every report from ME, especially quantitative ones, should be taken with a grain of salt.

#4 7000 what? is the better question.

Untrained militia types are the ones that drop the weapons and run, or else end up firing indiscriminately, or just add to the mob mentality during atrocities. They are basically useless in the offensive, unless used as cannon fodder.
