between taking major city after another isis is put together a glowing report outlining the group's achievements but if you go to school off explain. fifteen thousand fighters ten thousand operations in iraq one thousand assassinations and all last year alone these state of iraq and syria and now normally more notoriously as isis has been slicing through iraq or being closer and closer to baghdad and they're running a slick modern p.r. campaign. to even publishing an official report of their activities using computer generated graphics it paints a clear picture of the terror organization including the types and amounts of weapons they use their strategy details of operations and targets former intelligence officers claim it produces its press releases like a giant corporation trying to create an image of a world structured disciplined and effective organization or to attract funding but their actions speak loudly too as isis fighters have almost to reach the iraqi
5:06 am
capital killing scores of people along the way in just around seven b. well during the u.s. led invasion of the country it took the allied forces twenty two days to reach baghdad also a goal of isis is to create a new islamic state merging parts of iraq and syria into one now it's believed that the movement grew out of al qaeda in iraq emerging from the cast of the two thousand and three invasion to day it has fifteen thousand fighters most of whom are thought to be from neighboring middle eastern countries but around two thousand are believed to have come from europe including britain isis has also become known for extreme brutality including widespread beheadings and crucifixions most of its funding is traced to southeast asia particularly indonesia because she would the biggest muslim population on earth would fall in the arrest of high profile jihad is there it's that extremists are now turning their attention to the conflicts in iraq and syria while baghdad may have officially asked for help u.s.
5:07 am
defense officials are reportedly lacking intelligence information in order to carry out precise airstrikes defense analyst ivan eland says that getting involved iraq again would be a major blow to america's federal budget. but providing more weapons to the iraqi military i think would be a nightmare they have to the weapons of already ended up in the isis hands a least a lot of weapons have so then you have the other thing is a good be a ground campaign or it could be a full fledged air campaign and the economic consequences of course all that costs money and the united states is already has a seventeen trillion dollar debt and i think we're already overextended around the world and to get back into iraq is going to cost more money and more billions and i think as i say the american people are tired of not only the lives lost american lives overseas in these places but also the money spent you know they've spent trillions in iraq already. if you had to all website you can follow along.
