I dont see a single reason how Assad aka Iran who poison and starve kids is better than IS. I think Sunni Arabs in Iraq need to get a wide autonomy just like Kurds. Bombing them to submission is not a solution.
And just give us one single reason that Israel is any different than ISIS and Nusra.
You are the same guy who brought excuse for every single civilian casualty in Gaza after you savagely flattened it. How's that for a go my dear Hasbara?

NAJAF, Iraq — Iraqi forces’ operation to retake the city of Tikrit has stalled as troops suffer heavy casualties at the hands of Islamic State militants, raising concerns about whether the pro-government fighters are ready for major offensives.
After two days of little activity on the battlefield, Iraq’s interior minister, Mohammed al-Ghabban, confirmed Monday that the offensive has “temporarily stopped.” The steady flow of coffins arriving in Iraq’s Shiite holy city of Najaf suggests a reason for the pause; cemetery workers say as many as
60 war dead have been arriving each day.
Since last week, Iraqi forces
have hemmed in the Sunni militants in Tikrit, claiming control of the majority of the former Islamic State stronghold. But the operation has come at a cost, with soldiers saying the fight has been tougher than expected. As the momentum has slowed, some
Iraqi officials have begun to publicly call for U.S.-led air support.
Iraqi offensive for Tikrit stalls as casualties mount - The Washington Post
Assault lasts over two weeks already, u can make calculations alone. Well thats same generals who lost half million people but failed to take Basra. When CC took it in one week with minor casualties.
That is not a 'proof'. A random unnamed anonymous worker in a cemetery has given a random number, you basically didn't prove crap.
And about taking Basra.
Fact 1: Iran was fully isolated from major arms suppliers while Iraq recieved billions of dollars of money and weapons from more than 20 countries, including USSR, Europe and US and Gulfis.
Fact 2: Total number of Iran's war casualties, civilian or military and including those missing in action in a
period of 8 years is 190,672. All of the names and data are recorded and monitored constantly. Another organization estimated the number to be around 210,000 previously (assuming the big number of those still missing in action), but the new statistics are proved to be more reliable. We don't hide one single known casualty of our war and families of the martyrs are respected and supported greatly, there is absolutely no confirmed hidden war casualties.
This year, the
Organization for Safe-keeping and Publishing the Values of the Holy Defense, created after the war and operating under the supervision of the Iranian armed forces, reported, “During the war, 217,000 military personnel, 2,130,000 members of the Basij and 200,000 members of the Sepah [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] and police forces defended the country against the enemy.”
According to the organization's figures, 190,000 Iranian “fighters” were killed and 672,000 were injured. A notable number of those wounded were injured by chemical weapons and eventually lost their lives later on, after the war. Their suffering continues to this day.
All of those bs claims about nearly one million Iranian and Iraqi casualties have no base. Iraq's casualty was also between 180,000-200,000 and not 500,000.
A very small part of that casualty was devoted to advance in Iraq's territory. Most of the forces martyred driving Iraqis out of Iran. And by comparing U.S attack on Iraq with Iran-Iraq war, you just showed your intellectual capability.
And since you brought up the example:
Israel with second highest military spending per capita in the world, has failed to destroy Hamas with crappy Grad rockets, lack of heavy weapons and advanced equipment. It only managed in savagely and hysterically killing of civilians in Gaza and targeting children playing on beach with missiles. That's the true capability of the den of spider called Israel, as Nasrallah described accurately. Not to forget huge support and charity money it receives from the west.
So before embarrassing yourself again by coming up with such bull crap, learn to study more about the subject you are blabbering about.
