ISIS: Outcome of a failed policy toward Iran

Any mistake can be corrected, even in its final stages. For Mr. Obama, there is still time to correct his strategy. But the clock is ticking

From summer 2014 onward a widespread international coalition has established against ISIS. However, the fate of this campaign is very much dependent on getting a rooted understanding of the rise of this phenomenon that has now turned into a global crisis.

ISIS is the offspring of unprecedented crimes by the mullahs’ regime ruling Iran, Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and the policies of former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki against Sunnis in Iraq and Syria. Despite Assad’s unbounded savagery, Iran has since 2011 thrown all its military might and its intelligence, financial and diplomatic support behind Damascus to prevent its downfall. Meanwhile, the U.S. government and the West have chosen to continue their inaction, regardless of the fact that Assad crossed their explicit red line of using chemical weapons against innocent civilians.

Bush took his eye off the ball, Obama fumbled it, and now ISIS has it.

I find the Middle East policy idiotic. Ever since 1979 it has all been about containing Iran.

Well, look what it got us. We were probably better off invading them in the first place than trying to herd all the Arab states against them.

Bush actually predicted this...the complete withdrawal from the region left a vacuum filled with more radical enemies and more brutal practices. One can find fault in decisions to go to war, but not in understanding the ramifications of a power vacuum.

Lol....the entire premise is of Iran. We had a buffer against Iran, called Iraq. It fell, ISIS rose.

Funny how that works.

'Some time before 9/11, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, once the powerful Saudi ambassador in Washington and head of Saudi intelligence until a few months ago, had a revealing and ominous conversation with the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove. Prince Bandar told him: "The time is not far off in the Middle East, Richard, when it will be literally 'God help the Shia'. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them."'

Bush's taking his eye off the ball in his pursuit of bin Laden in Afghanistan.

Obama fumbling the ball because he really doesn't care that much about it anyway.
