The prime minister of Iraq’s Kurdish region says he warned Baghdad and the United States months ago about the threat that a Sunni militant group posed to Iraq, but “nothing happened.”
"The first is that this constitutes a "failure" of US policy in the Middle East, an alibi as to how the US and its NATO partners should in no way be seen as complicit in the current coordinated, massive, immensely funded and heavily armed terror blitzkrieg toward Baghdad. The second is how ISIS appears to have "sprung" from the sand dunes and date trees as a nearly professional military traveling in convoys of matching Toyota trucks without explanation."
"Thus, with ISIS being a creation of NATO and the GCC, the most realistic solution - if the United States was truly interested in stopping the progression of the terrorist organization and rolling back its recent gains - would be to stop funding and supporting it."
The threat was known but nobody expected the Iraqi army to so utterly collapse and run away from some guys with guns in pickup trucks.
I don't think anyone expected the Iraqi Army with their significant numbers to just up and run against a much smaller force, ISIS had machine guns mounted on jeeps and the Iraqi's had tanks and helicopters yet they just ran away.
Our own intelligence warned the Obama Admin about ISSA. Obama's own spy chief says me warned them. So what exactly was happening between the Obama Admin and Iraq officials before hell hit the fan?
The latest developments is the ISIS is the capture of key western border regions:
The Iraqi government appears to have lost control of its western borders after Sunni militants reportedly captured crossings to Syria and Jordan.

Break what up ? they are a scattered group of militants, not an organized army.They have no command center , no FOB, All an air strike is going to do is kill maybe a group of 20 militants that happen to be together at the time.
