One last thing, the real power behind ISIS are not the religious fanatics, they are idiot pawns. The true power behind the throne so to speak are the former Fadayeen and before that former Baathists of Sadaam. Their goals is to take back Iraq, not set up a caliphate. They want to install the next Sadaam and go back to their positions of power within the Baathist administration.
This is the same battle we were fighting in 2005 - 2007.
Yes and so?
What is our objective here?
Do we want to rule Iraq ourselves?
If not, which team do we want ruling there?
Why is one faction better than the other and for whom?
