Anyone who still thinks ISIS is not a serious concern... the fact that they have managed to make Iran tacitly support the USA should be proof enough to the contrary.

Big difference between "coordination" and "cooperation".

Iran, if they are involved is working in Iran's best interests and no one else's. It also doesn't mean much other than they would be supporting Assad more than fighting IS.

No,,

ISIS is Sunni, and an excellent chance for Shia to jump on the bandwagon.

What is it they say? The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

IMHO, we've been basing foreign policy on that concept for far too long.

You don't think they're trying to clean up a mess they helped create?

It's always a wise move to maneuver your enemy to attack your newest enemy....go read Sun Zhi's Art of War.

We have been used to fight internal wars for years.

The problem is that if you kill off all of ISIS today, another will start tomorrow.

The religion breeds them

These are just "Good Muslims" following the orders of Muhammed.

What a joke. A 40-year old F-4 does a fly over just to muddy the waters. Enough to claim later that Iran air strikes pushed back ISIS. That thing is barely afloat.
