Guardian: Reports " Vice-President Joe Biden on Monday spoke to the Iraqi prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, to reassure him of US support, a day after controversial remarks by the defense secretary, Ash Carter, sparked a war of words over the recent military successes of Islamic State. "
Lets Get Real:
This what happens when you have a weak President, everyone thinks they have say in Foreign Policy, also it is near the end of the Obama Presidency, the Oval Office can not fire its 4th Defence Secretary, that would open questions about President Obama and his leadership. Lets be HONEST here, Obama wants to leave the problem of Iraq to his successor, the problem as stated in this blog is that history might not wait for that moment. IS could control Iraq and Syria one day, the Assad regime is being supported by Russia and Iran, while Baghdad has the support of the US and Iran. The battle of Ramadi is coming up, if the new Iraqi Army can not defeat IS then the West will have to consider its options in Iraq, either get OUT or GO ALL IN, that means Western troops on the ground. The fate of Iraq could be decided in a few days.
