I find it hard to believe that ISIS could take Bagdahd but it does seems serious concern.my guess is they might be able to take Baghdad with no intention of holding it; Get in, clean house, round up enemies, have some mass executions, steal whatever they can take and get out. That ISIS commander seems a decent tactician, maybe he can make that happen.

This isn’t Cambodia and ISIS isn’t the Khmer Rouge. Sadr City alone will bloody their noses. I’m more concerned about the reaction to the push, rather than the push itself.
