Quote:Iraq militants seize second city of Mosul
Quote:Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, who is struggling to form a government in the wake of the April elections, has vowed to drive the ISIS "terrorists" out of mainly-Sunni Mosul in short order.
He is unlikely to succeed soon. He made similar vows when Sunni militants took over Falluja, west of Baghdad, in January, and they are still there.
It is not yet clear whether it is only ISIS involved in the Mosul takeover. In Falluja and its province, Anbar, Mr Maliki has clearly alienated many Sunni tribesmen and others, creating fertile soil for the radicals.

Yeah, and Obama almost made the same blunder by wading into Syria to topple Assad.
When are we going to learn we are not blessed in the arab world, and bloody murderous dictators are the friends we need and the only friends we can ever have there?
