Well, why don't you tell that to Al Baghdadi and ISIS, you brainless libtard. They have been going at it for almost 1400 years. The historic background of the Sunni–Shia split lies in the schism that occurred when the Islamic prophet Muhammad died in the year 632, leading to a dispute over succession to Muhammad as a caliph of the Islamic community spread across various parts of the world, which led to the Battle of Siffin. The dispute intensified greatly after the Battle of Karbala, in which Hussein ibn Ali and his household were killed by the ruling Umayyad Caliph Yazid I, and the outcry for his revenge divided the early Islamic community... Sectarian violence persists to this day from Pakistan to Yemen and is a major element of friction throughout the Middle East. Tensions between communities have intensified during power struggles, such as the Bahraini uprising, the Iraq War, and most recently the Syrian Civil War and the formation of the self-styled Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and its advancement on Syria and Northern Iraq. -wiki Shia-Sunni Relations |

I am having a difficult time understanding how O-Idiot finally made an intelligent foreign policy decision for the 1st time ever. Possibly because he doesn't want to look like the biggest idiot ever in the history of US presidents ever after losing a won war (Irag) and by announcing in advance an out date(Aphganistan) to give your enemy a great go get started and chase your opponent all over the place before hand..
Well.. Here is the fine thing he figured out to do to save his bacon.. his "hail mary" in Iraq: Obama directly arming Kurds Short of directly sending in boots on the ground? Arm the ONLY people in that God for saken place who actually have an agenda/will to fight for what is right.. Their own land they can call their own when it's all said and done and the Kurds have always been known as fighters. The only hope is that the rest of the world doesn't sell them out if they can manage to stop the bleeding going on in Iraq. Now also they have to hope 0-0-bama will continue to send them military supplies to continue the fight against those Isis thugs and not just long enough to put a dent in them since we know he's gutless and dislikes offending anyone, regardless of whether or not they are terrorists. |

Such an ironic statement from you...NO CLUE. It's pointless to even bother with you. Who do you think the enemy is? |

For decades, Israel has been a silent stakeholder in northern Iraq, training and arming its restive Kurds. Massimiliano Fiore, a fellow at the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, cites a CIA document found in the US Embassy in Tehran and subsequently published, which reportedly attested that the Kurds aided Israel’s military in the June 1967 (Six Day) War by launching a major offensive against the Iraqi Army. This kept Iraq from joining the other Arab armies in Israel, in return for which, “after the war, massive quantities of Soviet equipment captured from the Egyptians and Syrians were transferred to the Kurds.” |

Tons of equipment, including motorcycles, tractors, sniffer dogs, systems to upgrade Kalashnikov rifles, bulletproof vests, and first-aid items have been shipped to Iraq’s northern region, with most products stamped “Made in Israel.”The Kurds had insisted that the cooperation be kept secret, fearing that exposure of the projects would motivate terror groups to target their Jewish guests. Recent warnings that Al-Qaeda might be planning an attack on Kurdish training camps prompted a hasty exit of all Israeli trainers from the northern region. In response to the report, the Defense Ministry said: “We haven’t allowed Israelis to work in Iraq, and each activity, if performed, was a private initiative, without our authorization, and is under the responsibility of the employers and the employees involved.” |

no wonder ISIS got TOW-2 in numbers that they successfully use against both Syrian army and Iraqi army. |
