Yesterday, John Kerry was in Baghdad making a boffo statement that US aid to Iraq will be "intensive" and "sustained". (That statement will live on late night shows if Iraq falls.)
But there is a condition to all this. Iraq's government must become more "inclusive". That means a new government made up of Shia, Sunni and Kurds.
Isn't it a little late for that? I mean do you really think ISIS is going to stop their advance, link arms with the nearest Shia they can find, and lay down their arms in the hope of a coalition government?
My advice to Kerry: Get out of town while you still have your head.

He's hoping other Sunnis will rally to an Iraqi government that is more inclusive, not that ISIS will join the government. But yeah, it is too late for that. Maliki has already undone the work of the Sunni awakening, and John Kerry can't put Humpty-Dumpty together again.
