Teresita,
The US and Iraqi armed forces have gained the upper hand in the current situation on the ground in Iraq.

What happens if the US walks under a President Obama?

Do you really think the Iraqi military could seriously challenge an Iranian incursion?

Imagine a direct land link up between Iran and Syria across Iraq.

Bye, bye Israel, Lebanon, Jordan.

And that’s before Iran acquires or develops nuclear weapons with which to blackmail the region.
