Airstrikes on ISIS Militants possible. There are American "advisers" (Green Berets) with the Kurds. This is now a "I do not want any Damn Dien Bien Phu." situation. The Kurds will have to do the ground work though. |

Ahh good old American air power. If they want they can bomb ISIS back to the stone age. And they certainly can lay waste to the advancing ISIS troops. |

Hardly, at best Saddam would have delayed this for another few years. But Saddam would have died at some point, his regime would have collapsed and this mess would have come up then. |

That is one thing that no one can be sure of. What would have happened is that the many 1000's that died would not have... ...then the possibility of someone turning it around... |

Kurdish Forces Seize Back Two Towns From Insurgents: Kurdish Official BAGHDAD (AP) -- Reinvigorated by American airstrikes, Kurdish forces retook two towns from Sunni militants Sunday, achieving one of their first victories after weeks of retreating, a senior Kurdish military official said. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/10/islamic-state_n_5666195.html |

Kurdish Forces Seize Back Two Towns From Insurgents: Kurdish OfficialThat's with only 4 bombs. The Kurds can do the ground work if US give them the tools. The problem with that is Turkey is in a low level war with the Kurds who live in Turkey. Turkey is a waste as a NATO member though so screw them. US have to put our money on winners like South Korea and let losers like South Vietnam get what they deserve. |

Thanks Lynn Yes we have been warned. ISIS terrorists, were in Syria, now Iraq. ISIS, are very dangerous, and must be stopped. They drive fancy cars, are loaded with weapons. They KILL, in cold blood. They rape woman. They are worse than the Taliban, and Al-Qaeda. Not sure if their arms come from Iran, Russia? They need to be wiped off the face of the earth. Bomb, Bombs, away. |

But Saddam would have died at some point, his regime would have collapsed and this mess would have come up then. Perhaps, but make no mistake. Under Saddam 20% of the Iraqi population ran the country and repressed the other 80%. That situation is not stable nor will it last forever. At some point, Saddam or his son would have faced with uprisings and they would have been cast down. Maybe during the Arab spring, maybe after instability in Syria had spread to Iraq. This was inevitable. |

Hindsight is always better. If I felt it were essential to go in and topple Saddam, I would have occupied with a 600,000 man army and shot looters on sight, I would have kept the Iraqi Army and police forces intact -down to and including the rank of Colonel. I would have partitioned the country as follows: Kurdistan in the North. The Marsh area becomes part of Iran, And a New Iraq (mostly Sunni) from what was left. Now it appears that Iraq or a good part of it will be forming the new Caliphate when Syria falls as well. |
