WAR CRIME: ISIS executes Iraqi police officers and captured military personnel.
The Islamic State (IS) (Arabic: الدولة الإسلامية al-Dawlah al-ʾIslāmiyyah), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), is an self declared state and a jihadist group.
It is a self-proclaimed status as a caliphate.
It was birthed in the civil war in Syria and funded by Gulf states, chief among them Saudi Arabia – one of the largest sponsors of international terrorism in the entire world!
ISIS grew significantly as an organization owing to its participation in the Syrian Civil War and the strength of its leader,Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Economic and political discrimination against Iraqi Sunnis since the fall of Saddam Hussein also helped it to gain support. At the height of the 2003-2011 Iraq War, its forerunners enjoyed a significant presence in theIraqi governorates of Al Anbar, Ninawa, Kirkuk, most of Salah ad Din, parts of Babil, Diyala and Baghdad, and claimed Baqubah as a capital city.
In the ongoing Syrian Civil War, ISIS has a large presence in the Syrian governorates of Ar-Raqqah, Idlib and Aleppo.
The United States also played a huge role in the creation of ISIS by actually training, equipping their fighters in places like Jordan. See video: “Busted: US trained ISIS in secret base in Jordan” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu0YtkHRBWg .
This was in total violation of international law by the way which prohibits the material support of terrorism. A fact the major corporate owned, entertainment based, media in the United States refuses to report on in any real detail! But that is another story altogether…
See Ground report exclusive : “Has the Obama administration ever armed ISIS with lethal weapons? Inquiring minds would like to know!” https://groundreport.com/has-the-obama-administration-ever-armed-isis-with-lethal-weapons-inquiring-minds-would-like-to-know/

It should be noted that President Obama has never owned this! In fact evidence suggest he has covered it up along with the help of the US department of Defense and Central Intelligence Agency. Also complacent in all this are key members of Congress, who chair the House and Senate Select Intelligence committees who were either “read into” these program or signed off on them in terms of funding (or both).
because all this is classified as secret – the American people will never know the true extent of our involvement with ISIS, Not that they care! It seems to me that the American people are more interested in the color of Kim Kardashian’s underwear than anything else right now!
What happened was ISIS has spread like a cancer from a localized rebel group in Syria content to commit horrible atrocities and war crimes to Iraq (which it used for years as an arms smuggling route and safe haven from Syrian military forces).
So President Obama flip flops and authorizes air drops of humanitarian aid and targeted air strikes to blunt the momentum and force of ISIS from capturing more territory in Iraq.

The problem with that policy is that it doesn’t go far enough!
To destroy ISIS you need a much more comprehensive military strategy including:
* Stopping all US funding of rebel groups in Syria
* Cutting off the funding from Gulf States, like Saudi Arabia from continuing to finance ISIS and al-Qaeda in Syria.
Allow President Al-Maliki the option to ask Iran for military assistance in fighting ISIS in Iraq.
* Build up a international military coalition to go into Iraq and hunt and kill ISIS wherever they may be.
Anything short of what I call “major surgery” at this point will never succeed in eliminating the cancer that is ISIS right now!
