If 60,000 Shiite militiamen can't hold off ISIL, then something is definitely wrong.

Up to 60,000 Shiite militiamen reportedly are deployed in the Iraqi capital to protect the city from ISIL.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Up to 60,000 Shiite militiamen are deployed in the Iraqi capital to protect the city from ISIL, as the extremists are stepping up their offensive, the Erbil-based Rudaw reports.

"Experts believe sending Shiite fighters into Ramadi puts Baghdad at major risk, but it is not true because up to 60,000 fighters of Hashd al-Shaabi [Shiite Popular Mobilization Units] are inside Baghdad now," the online newspaper quotes the Security Committee of Baghdad Provincial Council as saying in a Tuesday statement.

It will never happen. When Republicans invaded Iraq and drove out the Sunni and turned the country over to the Shiite, they made Iraq a friend of Shiite majority Iran. Kurds are a sect of Sunni. They are not friends of the Shiite. Many Iraqi Sunni now lead Isis. One of those unexpected consequence that pop up again and again as a result of GOP policies. Policies based on nothing more than the imagination of the ignorant, uneducated and unskilled.

Shiites made up about 70% of the population when the U.S. invaded, the Sunni could have never ruled over them after Saddam was ousted.

Don't you think Republicans knew that before they invaded? Oh, wait, they didn't. In fact, they didn't know anything. They never cared to learn.
