There has been a dramatic escalation of violence in Iraq over the weekend as ISIS—or now ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant)—has been accused of mass murder. The accusation makes it easy when they go online to brag about their mass murder.. There are images and grisly videos circulating the world wide web.. the entire planet can now see the barbaric nature with which ISIL/ISIS imposes Sharia Law. And now this: Iran is directly getting involved with the conflict while the United States contemplates what else it will do.. In the meantime all eyes are on the Baghdad Embassy where personnel are still housed and militants take over more areas, closing in on the city..
At this point: 550 (or more?) Marines are on a warship in the Persian Gulf..
And of course there are some websites that argue the images are faked and photoshopped.. DUTCHSINSE paints a good picture that some may be, but not all are.. nor are all videos.. Sometimes “conspiracy” is shouted too often and too loudly..After all, let’s take a quick historical trip down amnesia lane .. Many are pointing out (rightly so) that the Bush adventure in Iraq was a bad move, few are speculating on how the recent movements by ISIS could actually be a product of the Obama Administration.. Lest we forget.. America’s allies are funding ISIS and so is America, too.. recent history tells us that it’s unwise to play our meager chess games in the Middle East. There’s never a victory..
