We answer the question: Is Baghdad in immediate danger of being taken by ISIS?

I have not spent much time in print, preaching doom and gloom for Baghdad. Can it fall? Of course. Mosul, in the north, fell to ISIS and it was a city of 2 million. But Mosul was a Sunni town, and many of these people left Mosul to fight with ISIS, a Sunni terror group.

Baghdad, by contrast, is largely Shia. More than this, Baghdad is a city of 9 million and the Shia population really has nowhere to run. Standing their ground and protecting the city seems to be the only course of action.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
