Twitter forced to act after Iraq executions live tweeted

The Sydney Morning Herald reports graphic images of the executions of Iraqi soldiers were live tweeted by members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant as they happened late last week.

The photos showed scores of soldiers rounded up into trucks before being forced face-down in the dirt with their hands tied behind their backs before being executed by automatic weapons.

On early Saturday ISIL tweeted it had executed 1700 Shiite soldiers, but the figure has not been confirmed by human rights groups.

Not on your life. Obama is not the war freak Bush is and really hasnt the stomack to see people slaughtered like that. He means it when he says they dont want to go back. That showed when he went after Bin Laden; Hilary has thouugh, and I suspect its her more than him that drives these sorts of determinations - she knows a good political move when she sees it, how its plays out around the globe and how it makes the US appear for those that matter to the US, and she has the hind sight of Bill. She is one very powerful women, proberly the most powerful on the globe right now. The majority of US citzs want the war to end and as they keep saying are sick of playng world policewo/man. They want to concentrate on re building their economy and reparing the damage that the Madoffs and all the other greedy yoyos did. The US knows its real power lays in its economy. Sure, its wants to contain the nonsense in Iraq because it knows that the longer it goes on the worse it looks for them having engineered this fiasco. The smartist thing they ever said was when they were making a decision whether or not to go into Syria was that in hindsight they were not that good at setting up a lasting peace after an invasion. THis is all or should be tread very carefully and use what other powers and influences they have to assist in stopping these insurgents. Talking to Iran also has a double purpose just in case they imerge as the most powerful across the region in this potential power vacum without some sort of framing from the US, or acknowledgement that they will allow them to act in the region to contain fanatics.  What Irans does in reply is going to be really telling as to how it intends to move forward as proberly the most powerful independant Arab voice directly in the region.

Pablo, Iranians are not Arabs......far from it.  The ony thing they share is the major religion.  And Arabian is only their second language.

They are well educated, world wise and surprisingly westernised.

Perhaps this is why they are perceived as independent.

The Soviet Union were invited into Afghanistan by their PM Hafizullah Amin, hardly an invasion. 

The United States was invited into Vietnam - the end result was much the same.

So Afghanistan is  two seperate countries now is it? With 2 different govts? Hardly. Is this your idea of an invitation -

Ambassador Maxwell Taylor informs South Vietnamese Premier Phan Huy Quat that theUnited States is preparing to send 3,500 U.S. Marines to Vietnam to protect the U.S. airbase at Da Nang.

Three days later, a formal request was submitted by the U.S. Embassy, asking the South Vietnamese government to "invite" the United States to send the Marines.

Robert Menzies announced to the House of Reps in 1965 that the South Vietnamese government asked for military assistance.The South Vietnamese goverment denied that such a request was ever made.500 Australian troops K.I.A.

Of course you are right, they're prodominatly Persian, and at the moment hold quite a bit of power and influence across the region since the uprisings in most of the pan-arab mediteranian states.
