Two countries are fighting for the right to reate the next Caliphate. Iran and Iraq. ISIS is the radical wing of the Ba’ath party.
What Iran is facing is a slaughter of Shia by ISIS. Iran thought they had Syria and Lebanon locked up but forgot that Hezbollah cannot beat ISIS on the battlefield and more importantly, that Assad threw his lot in wth Iraq in 2003. Which means both Assad and ISIS are killing opposition.
Question then becomes, just why does Obama want Iran to have a bomb?
While it is probably the case that the Daesh is benefiting from the presence of some Iraqi ex-Ba’athists in their ranks, you seem to ignore the fact they are fighting against a Ba’athist government is Syria and to ignore the fact that any Islamist ideology is antithetical to Ba’athism.
Ba’athism was, and is, a fascist version of secular Arab nationalism, which is why Arab Christians in the Middle East outside of Lebanon, if they are involved in politics at all, are almost to a man Ba’athists. In both Iraq and Syria the Ba’athist governments were amalgams of the religious minorities — in Syrian mostly Alawites, but with a smattering of ordinary Shi’ites, Christians and Druze; in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, Sunni with some Christians (Tariq Aziz, the former Ba’athist Foreign Minister is a Chaldean Uniate).
Two words...Valerie Jarrett. Obama is just the puppet. She pulls the strings.
