Blame is being pointed in every direction for the sudden emergence of ISIS. Who is to blame? Blame it all on the Iraq government that ignored the Sunni regions of Iraq.
The USA spent then years, 100 billion dollars training 200,000 fighters in Iraq and supplying them with the latest military equipment. When threatened by a few hundred ISIS fighters the 100 billion dollar Iraq military deserted their positions and ran.
I think what happened is that the USA got duped by the Iraq Sunni. ISIS is Sunni and Mosul is also Sunni. What happened is the ISIS new that we had given the Sunni in Mosul billions in weapons and also stashed a hundred million dollars in the Mosul bank. ISIS just had to ask and the Sunni in Mosul agreed to turn over the weapons and dollars without a fight. The Sunni want to overthrow the Iraq government and are using ISIS to accomplish their goal.
Now that Iraq has lost their chance for an honest government they must stand up and fight for their freedom and life. When the people of Iraq are willing to come together to fight ISIS then, and only then should we put more American lives at risk to fight again in Iraq. Twelve years, three trillion dollars, 5,600 dead Americans is enough. We will support Iraq but we will not lead the battle.
