According to Western media, Iraq is likely to be by ISIS, a loose jihadi free reg movement conquered. But is this version to the facts on the ground? Marc Vandepitte gives explanation. Marc Vandepitte
From scratch capture a terrorist organization, the second largest city in Iraq. Other cities are taken and spanks it particularly cruel jihadi movement in the capital Baghdad. It looks like a scene from a Hollywood movie, a scenario that fits perfectly into the 'war on terror' and the growing Islamophobia. It is practically free reg without exception, the version of the mainstream media.
Unfortunately, this version stands the test of reality is not. There is much more to it than the sudden rise of savage jihadis. As usual, the reality is a little more stubborn than childish Hollywood scenarios. Reality calls up a number of questions

Today helicopters flying over the city. That can only by experienced pilots, free reg which ISIS does not. Much more likely is that this version of The Telegraph points of Sunni resistance fighters who fought against the invasion free reg of the U.S.. Toward
The city was very disciplined taken without bloodshed. That is rather odd for a rogue terrorist organization. Indeed, the locals welcomed the rebels and even shared chocolate from the invaders.

Rafi al-Rifai, the highest Sunni leader of the country, said the rebels should not be described as terrorists, but they are liberating Iraq from the government of Nouri al-Maliki. A sneak preview
