2:04 am
iraq become a sovereign nation the minute the us realize that it's of war in the country result in the creation of yet another failed state because see no western powers have done nothing but violate iraq's autonomy by dismantling its government launching depleted uranium and white phosphorous attacks and occupied its people for the last decade this is all news to me. well the latest reports from iraq suggest al qaeda linked isis militants have taken over vital oil facilities in the city of baiji however their final target is baghdad with the jihad this reportedly planning to create a new islamist state within the ruins of the country that says iraq is already falling apart as artie's gun each if you can report iraq is on the verge of erupting isis is controlling a predominantly sunni part of the bach shia sphere there further onslaught kurds could split off at any moment a secretary and war is brewing now the government will have to make a strategic choice putting the entire army to attack and take back that city and
2:05 am
risk a much wider sectarian fight or have this jihadi group in control of an area that was a respond with all the consequences not just for iraq for the region and for the world i says belongs to a faction of sunni islamic committed to the radical fundamentalist convictions that they seek to impose on other muslims their advances have long stopped being just iraq's problem these darker green spots are where the population is predominantly shiite you can see iran is the main shiite power in the region syria is largely sunni but the government of bashar assad is alawite which is a branch of shiite islam isis being an extremist sunni forces managed to advance this far both in syria and iraq because of the support of sunni communities on their way iran wants to help iraq's shia government repel the onslaught of isis an initiative which washington seemingly supports but targeting sunni areas which isis
2:06 am
controls could create a backlash with other sunni nations getting involved like saudi arabia which has already warned against foreign intervention there's not going to be a simple military solution to this issue isis is also controlling parts of syria fighting against the government of bashar assad these problems are intertwined in a really. demonic way u.s. politicians have tried to present the conflict in syria as being between those who want democracy and those for adult for many the crisis in iraq is an eye opener showing how complicated the dynamics in that we jim really are. ganesh second article are also fighting on their own battle front after isis launched its advance kurdish forces were able to push the islamists out of the city of taking control of a vital oil center and as defense consultants mowen rove believes kurds have been given a chance to create their own independent state. or the country has been broken away

u.k. we know he went to the trouble better to be identifying with. the to construe troops as a potential threat. which has existed ever since nine eleven so in a way that constituency has always been that it's possible that they'll be more encouraged by. what's happened in syria and become more active not as a direct result of some. film on the sort of wave of islam isolation of the world and then you've got the people who actually come back and who can spread who can become recruiters and that's a really dangerous thing that's a meeting is the national security council this week prime minister david cameron said the government was doing all it could to address the threat posed by foreign fighters including interviewing individuals the u.k. folders canceling all with touring u.k. passports and introducing new measures to prosecute days he planned to train. or is
