Iran is at the root of the chaos
If you think the principle “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” applies to Iranian regime with respect to the Islamic State—also known as ISIS or ISIL—think again. The reality is that the Iranian regime has been taking advantage of the onslaught of the Islamic State to further its own agendas in the region. Reciprocally, the Islamic State owes much of its recent gains in power, territory and riches to the Iranian regime and its cohorts in the region.
Iran reaps the benefits of the Islamic State’s rampage
As a state-sponsor of terrorism and fundamentalism, the Iranian regime has always been the main beneficiary of chaos and violence in the region. In the case of the Islamic State, the extremist group has provided the Iranian regime with the perfect environment to carry out its plots and machinations in the Middle East, especially in Iraq and Syria.

ISIS is Sunni.
Iran is Shiite.
ISIS is on the side of the Saudis and folks on that side of the gulf.
Iran is on the side of the Iraqi Shiites and Assad in Syria.
To think that they can mix well is like saying Olive Oil and Vinegar make a great salad dressing without shaking.
Wow, it didn’t take long for that “Sunni vs Shiite” nonsense to appear in this topic.

Jihad is jihad is jihad. Anyone who says otherwise is just shilling for one or more of the many enemy regimes there. The GCC wants ISIS gone, which is why Zero and his Iranian allies have been dragging their feet — and yes, they have been dragging their feet.

> Iran likes that set of conditions as well. In the ME, Iran is the only beneficiary of what’s been going on; it has de facto control over Lebanon via its Hizbullah proxy, and the Assad regime is nearly 100 percent dependent on Iran. In Iraq, Maliki displayed too much independence, even though he did suppress Kurds and Sunni; now ISIS is threatening to take over the entire ‘country’, and that will lead to the rise of a more reliable and frankly Shiite proxy, or more than one, with some kind of figurehead gov’t, perhaps with Maliki still in charge.
