Iraqi Civil war now official and under way

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

Involved at an internal level I suppose I should have said. I don't think Iran expected the conflict to have wandered right over Iraq and it will eventually get into Iran.

Depends if they manage to keep the fight inside Iraq or not. Sunni extremists will join this fight from around the world. In Manchester I already heard in news articles about sunni extremists fighting in Syria as well as friend of friends of friends going and dying there (even though they appeared to be normal people). Next it will be the same type of extremists going to fight and die in Iraq. I guess it may at least have the positive effect of shifting some of the extremists out of this country.....

The scary thing is they make the Iranians look slightly more moderate

I heard they pilfered 480 million of bullion from Mosul.

That is Die Hard movie plot stuff.

Where is Tony Bliar, the Middle East Peace envoy?

Blair's legacy regarding the middle east won't be quite as he imagined it would be.

I would have thought it is exactly as he had imagined and hoped it would be!

He wanted his own Falklands moment. I don't think he's got that.

He's a death-worshiping christian. I reckon he got his rocks off just fine.
