1. Iran enters Iraqi Civil War
Ron ,   oc us   (06.13.14)
May very well be a silver lining. Iran much like Hezbollah will bleed. America does not need to get involved in this war as Maliki is little more than a shill for Iran and a conduit for arms for Assad and Hezbollah.
2. Obama = Bush. Checkmate.
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (06.13.14)
Oh, so it's fine for Obama to urge Troops To Iraq whereas Bush was "the devil" for "instigating" the "war" in Iraq.
3. Obama has all options on the table including World Caliphate

4. There will be no further US involvement in Iraq
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (06.13.14)
no matter what Obama may hint at. There are NOT enough votes in congress to authorize any military action, nor to pay for it, nor to activate the draft that would be needed to provide the manpower. The Shia (which vastly out number the Sunni in the ME) will just have to man-up and fight their own battles instead of running away like cowards.
5. #1 good for America?
(06.13.14)
Looking at the thousands of decapitated Iraqis, the end of Christianity in the Levant, and all gains in Iraqi invasion lost, what can Obama do? He needs Iran to stop ISIL, meaning Iran will get nukes. Of course, Obama could read your letter and support ISIL's take over of the Middle East. There is a silver lining to it all: Obama is working hard on granting citizenship to all the illegal aliens in the US.

JS ,   USA   (06.13.14)
Read the War Powers Act, he doesn't need any votes to conduct short term military action. He didn't need it for Syria but went to congress for approval because he was looking for any way out of the corner he talked himself into.
7. US army will hit them with their purse.

8. The only peace = Prince of peace..Jesus
Pasquinel.Canada ,   Let get real   (06.13.14)
9. "islam"-Bagdad/Iraq and the United States
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (06.13.14)
For example, in spite of it"s short-comings/mistakes/failures/functioning, also the United Nations Organization (U.N.O), New York City, United States, since 1945 and the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (U.N.P.O), in The Hague, Holland, since 1991, have a job/task/duty to do, to solve that problem/issue, to serve, to aid and to protect every people, the present, entire world-population/humankind/life. (also) the Jewish and Israeli people, forever and always! May G.D bless Israel (,too)!
10. Bearing Fruit
Arturo   (06.14.14)
Obama planted the seeds of Arab Caliphate. Finally bearing fruit.
11. Put up or shut up!
