Oh for fuck's sake! They are aren't even 50 miles away! ISIS is has we speak working on taking over every major road and entry into Baghdad to strave you out! They are killing thousands of POWs! They have cruified your people! And you can't even form a government to lead the fight against them!?! The Kurds are the only military force with any sucess against ISIS in the field and you're threatening them!?! Fuck You! Fuck You All!Iraq's new parliament has ended its first session in disarray, with MPs failing to make any progress in choosing the country's new leadership.
The Council of Representatives was due to elect a speaker, but Kurdish and Sunni Arab MPs did not return after a break, depriving it of a quorum.
Acting Speaker Mahdi al-Hafez said parliament would reconvene in a week.
Iraq's politicians have been urged to unite in the face of the jihadist-led Sunni rebellion in the north and west.
The central government in Baghdad has lost control of vast swathes of territory over the past month, and on Sunday the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis) declared the establishment of a "caliphate" covering the land it holds in Iraq and Syria.
Isis fighters parading through the Syrian city of Raqqa on Monday showed off military hardware which appeared to include a Scud missile.

The United Nations has said at least 2,417 Iraqis, including 1,531 civilians, were killed in "acts of violence and terrorism" in June.
The figure does not include fatalities in the western province of Anbar, where the Iraqi authorities say 244 civilians died.
Noisy accusations
The first session of parliament since April's elections ended after less than two hours.
Kurdish MPs, who faced noisy accusations of disloyalty from some supporters of Shia Arab Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, walked out. Other MPs followed and soon there were not enough to continue.
It had been hoped that the gravity of the crisis facing Iraq might be enough for the country's recently elected MPs to set aside their differences.
But since the elections in April, events on the ground have moved with terrifying speed.
Sunni militants have captured swathes of territory and declared an Islamic state. The Kurds have extended the boundaries of their own autonomous region. And once again, Iraqis are dying in huge numbers - about 2,500 in June alone, the worst monthly death toll since 2007.
The country is fracturing and its MPs do not seem to know how to stop it.
Kurdish MP Najiba Najib called on Mr Maliki to "end the blockade" and to stop withholding federal budget payments to the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government.
Kadhim al-Sayadi, a member of the prime minister's State of Law bloc, responded by threatening to "crush the heads" of Iraq's Kurds.
Mr Hafez, who as the oldest MP presided over the session, said the Council of Representatives would reconvene next Tuesday "if there is the possibility of an agreement".
As the leader of the bloc that won the most votes in April, Mr Maliki has demanded the right to attempt to form a governing coalition.
But he has faced calls from his Sunni, Kurdish and Shia opponents to step down because of his handling of the current security crisis, as well as what they say are the sectarian and authoritarian policies he has pursued during his previous two terms in office.
Iraq's most senior Shia cleric, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, had called on all parties to agree on the appointments before parliament convened.

Leader of the Kurdish region of Iraq Massoud Barzani: "The goal of Kurdistan is independence"
Earlier, the president of the Kurdistan Region, Massoud Barzani, told the BBC he intended to hold a referendum on independence within months.
Mr Barzani said the time was right for a vote had Iraq had already been "effectively partitioned", with Kurdish peshmerga fighters moving into disputed areas abandoned by Iraqi security forces in the face of the Isis advance, including the oil-rich Kirkuk region.
While the Kurds would play a part in any political solution to this "tragic situation", independence was their "right", he added.
I vote we leave Baghdad! Let them rot or let the Irans spend the blood and treasure to prop them up and I wish Tehran all the joy of it. The Kurds at least know what they're doing and have never actually shot at us! Let's cut our loses and get something useful out of this, a US allied Kurdistan is a better pay out then a Maliki led Iraq if you ask me.
