| [Ynet] Reported atrocities by Iraqi soldiers could risk some US aid under a law forbidding assistance to those responsible for human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... abuses if they are confirmed, a key senator cautioned on Wednesday. ABC News reported that some US-trained units are under investigation for committing some of the same atrocities as the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... , citing an unnamed Pentagon official. ABC said the investigation, conducted by the Iraqi government, was launched after officials were confronted with allegations of war crimes based partly on videos and photos that appear to show uniformed soldiers massacring civilians, torturing and executing prisoners and displaying severed heads. |

| #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). |

| #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. |

| #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. |

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

| #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? |

| #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. |
