Last month, Shia milita took control. The following is what I found. "Shia militia group accused of going on a rampage in the capital of Iraq’s northern Saladin province, Tikrit city, to immediately withdraw from the area, an Iraqi official said Saturday."
If I missed my guess, that 2 Star was Shia.
This is what happened when ISIS was called the JV team. ISIS is Sunni and from what I read, the only security for Sunni's in Iraq.
ISIS will not be defeated in the field. Also, it will not go away with Shia attacking Sunni's.
Turkey is Sunni. That is food for thought.
The ME religious civil war is on going. POTUS is correct in getting us out of that sand trap. IMO, Juan McCain did America no favors in arming his so called moderate rebels.
