Are you like me, totally confused about this whole ISIS thing? Leave aside that the USA, Saudis and Qataris set up and funded the group.....and then went to war against them shortly after that. No, what really confuses me is ISIL's military success. This motley collection of about 15,000 fanatics from all corners of the world can explode (!) on the scene and within months defeat the huge standing armies of Iraq and Syria, taking over and holding large cities and huge swathes of territory.
Right now hundreds of thousands of Kurds are fleeing ISIL's advance and have become refugees in Turkey. Yet we hear all the time about the Kurdish Peshmerga, 350,000 of them, well-trained and dedicated defenders of their region. What the hell are they doing right now?
I sure don't know what it all means and I'd guess that only a really tiny group of insiders does. Irrespective of the confusion I can with certainty state that something really nasty and evil is going down and that it can and probably will lead to a disastrous outcome. Wouldn't be surprised to hear some day that the Americans and their "allies" are re-invading Iraq and bombing Syria.
Oh wait......
