#4  The question is what is Washington going to do if Bagdhad is taken? Should the Bagdhad airport be taken, it would seem that Bagdhad could be starved off from supplies. I would hope that Washington's wonderkids do not plan to leave Americans behind to fend for themselves as they did in Benghazi.

#1  I'm interpreting this as the ISIS/ISIL now threatening BOTH Iran + Turkey, as compared to only Turkey.

IRAN + AYATOLLAH KHAMEINI = TURKEY + PM ERDOGAN = HAVE TO DECIDE HOW CLOSE IS "TOO CLOSE" FOR THEIR COUNTRY'S COMFORT VEE THE ISIS, + WHEN TO FINALLY SEND IN THE ARMY.
