MESOP Syria Op-Ed: Blame Assad 1st for Rise of Islamic State of Iraq

By Scott Lucas June 22, 2014 – eaworldview – In the week since Al-Qaeda spinoff the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham brought Iraq back into international headlines by seizing around a third of the country in a matter of hours, there has understandably been a great deal of soul-searching and hair-pulling as to how a group that was supposed to have been “decimated”, in a country that was supposed to be last decade’s headache, has once again managed with just a few hundred men to humiliate an army many times its size and generally outfox the entire world.
