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.
