TheRat posted:Wasn't ISIS basically formed from baath + iraqi army? Them and also people detained without charge in internment camps during the insurgency who radicalised together and created an informal communications network by writing contact details down and sneaking them out in the lining of their clothes to get past checks. Daesh were largely formed by the collective stupidity of the Bush administration's post-Hussein lack-of-plan.

TheRat posted:Wasn't ISIS basically formed from baath + iraqi army? ISIS in Iraq was, its how they went from having no territory to within a week controlling half the country. But ISIS was around before that in Syria and was a rag tag bunch of extremists estimated at the time to be less than 5000, its why them suddenly massively growing and almost taking over Iraq was such a shock.

spectralent posted:I had thought the Iraqi army were re-hired during reconstruction? They were re-hired eventually, after a large number of young, angry, armed men had been put out to pasture overnight when the expectation had been that the army was going to stick around. This on top of the fact that around the same time it was announced that everyone who had ever held Ba'ath party membership could never have a job in the government, ever again. Note that you had to be a party member to do pretty much anything in the Iraqi government, so in one fell swoop everyone who knew how the country's ministries worked was out on their rear end. The other thing about the dissolution of the pre-invasion army was that is was non-sectarian and credited as a unifying force in the country, as it binded all the ethnicities of the country together into a single national body. Disbanding it probably did a whole lot to foster the ethnic tensions that built up pretty rapidly after the invasion.

B: It's amazing how some of these exact issues were encountered and fixed during denazification. The guidebook on that already exists!

spectralent posted:In which case christ and also lol. It's worth noting that the army America had put in place were not the grizzled veterans they were fighting against, which is why when Daesh first swept into Iraq the US-trained army literally dropped their weapons and fled in the face of the oncoming enemies. When the Peshmerga reinforced the northern areas there's an instance I remember from mid-2014 where their commander found the Iraqi commander, took one look at him and just told him to go home.

It's always smart to be skeptical of polls, especially surprising ones with little corroboration, but bear in mind that the polling companies did adjust their models after the 2015 fiasco. According to the UKPR commenters on last night's YouGov poll (only the most trust sources here at OttoMonster Inc), this sample would be showing Labour at 40% under the 2015 model. dispatch_async posted:

Daily Mail have gone with "Corbyn faces furious backlash over 'inappropriate and crass' bid to exploit Manchester bombing by blaming British warmongering". The top rated comments say he's right, I'm really surprised to hear a good word about Corbyn in the Mail comments.
