The video propaganda of the rebels called Isis but likely much more complicated or really many groups of rebel fundamentalistic or jihadist Muslims seem a contrived to cause horror & fear in people but might also be exaggerated for effect by all sides including making it easy for US tv to totally demonize them as monsters (which they may or may not be). The USA intelligence/military Storyline is Isis is very evil and barbarous; the USA is very good and civilized but that seems a bit simplistic and too neat --Too good from a US intelligence and military point of view to be totally accepted at face value. Mind you if true it is partially a creation of US actions in Iraq over many years. If half of the Isis stories are true the world should be up in arms & the USA in there in full invasion mode as crusaders for the good Western civilized values and not just a little bombing of convoys to save Kurdish city of Ibril which obviously is a Kurd stronghold allied to the US and technically part of the US trained and installed Iraqui-government. What a mess the G W Bush people created!
