The history of ISIS is interesting reading. The term is an acronym for Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham. The term al Sham refers to Syria. The rebel military terror is trying to take Baqubah-a city they have claimed as the capitol of ISIS.
They were the most powerful rebel group in Syria before the other rebels reduced their turf. They have been active in Iraq since 2006. ISIS just stole 425 million dollars from a Mosul bank. They are well financed for military neccessaries for the present.

An Haaretz editorial opinion notes that the communists took the rest of Vietnam in just a few days after America left. The dangers of free Iraq falling to Sunni terrorists is apparent though perhaps will be avoided through a number of developments.

One wonders if the release of five high ranking Taliban from Gitmo was a green flag for the most recent operation in Iraq? The politics are rather convoluted for most Americans I would think. The appearance of weakness can draw the beast to attack sometimes.
Iraq's Shia political leadership has said that the Sunni are attempting genocide. I would say that democide is a more accurate term-they are seeking to terminate Shia and western ways rather than fellow Arabs. I would think that even Persian ancestry Sunni wouldn't be massacred under ISIS adult supervision. The Obama administration has sought to secure Sunni, perhaps Saudi help in reigning in the ISIS boys from their over-the-top massacring and marauding in the region. Evidently they have even killed a few in Turkey.

ISIS fighters have arrived at the edge of Baghdad. Rather than air power the Iraqi government could probably use a little U.S. expeditionary force help that is simply dangerous-for-others and gets in the way when appropriate. The Obama administration is probably the wrong team for quick military surgical interventions.

The United States shouldn't be clueless in international events and act just with large conventional forces in a sort of manic-depressive deployment criterion. A little moderate military prophylaxis can go a long way toward stabilizing civil disorder.
