#4 This is a big day...anticlimactic...but, a big day nonetheless.

This Caliphate version of AQ, ISIL, ISIS...whatever...is finished. And thus, bin Laden's and Zarqawi's dreams and dreamers corpses rot in the crumbled towns and dusty desert of Syria, Iraq and the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

Obama's massive blunder (giving Maliki the green light for the Shia to suppress the Sunnis...who turned en masse to ISIS) that allowed this cancer to metastasize will be ignored. Thousands of innocents murdered, Christian persecution and genocide in Iraq ignored. Words in a mere post can not do this disaster justice.

In a way I guess Obama achieved what appears to have been his goal... a Shia crescent from the Persian Gulf.. Iran, through Iraq and all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.

I am uneasy.
