War

ISIS leader has been picked up in Falluja by US forces in 2004, but was released.
"At every turn, Mr. Baghdadi’s rise has been shaped by the United States’ involvement in Iraq — most of the political changes that fueled his fight, or led to his promotion, were born directly from some American action. And now he has forced a new chapter of that intervention, after ISIS’ military successes and brutal massacres of minorities in its advance prompted President Obama to order airstrikes in Iraq."
More blowback.

Iraqi president names a new prime minister in hopes of convincing Sunni's to quit rebelling, but Maliki won't step down.
