#3 Dear AMBASSADOR JONES - Good luck wid that.

Despite initial high hopes, looks like both local Iraqi Shia Militias [Qadir] + Iran's IRGC [Hezbollah?] are also not enough by themselves to unilaterally stop the ISIS/ISIL on the ground.

Unlike the USA + Globalist Obama, whom IMO has no defense because they are supposed to be advising + training the Iraqi Army or Iraqi Armed Forces to begin with, OWG Co-Superpower RISING IRAN at least can claim its National Military-Industrial Complex is NOT yet up to speed in supporting Iran's agenda outside of its borders.
