Sorry, george, but your Jew haten' mentality clouds your ability to reach rational conclusions.
The skirmishes taking place across Iraq and Syria are a continuation of the 1,400 year old blood-feud that divides the Sunni and Shia, and, implementation of Islamic ideology.
Islam’s Holy Warriors of al-Qaeda and all other jihad groups are simply pious Moslems who know their Koran and sunnah, and who are following the books to the letter. They are back in those halcyon days of virtue-less conquest and murder for God when these books were written—the days when they enjoyed so much success at fighting, killing, and subduing infidels, crusading or otherwise.
As then, now.
You know what "caliphate" means in terms of Islamic ideology, right?
I know what the "capitalist caliphate" means, do you?
You're about the last poster on this board capable of drawing rational conclusions about anything, but even a troll should recognize the graft and corruption stemming from an illegal war of aggression waged against Islam
"One consequence of the way that the true costs of the Iraq war was hidden from the American people was an explosion of fraud, waste and abuse. The recent final report of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (Sigir) estimates that the US lost to corruption or waste at least $8bn of the $60bn devoted to reconstructing Iraq."
The rational conclusion to draw here involves connecting the dots between US war whores paying Sunni and Shiite to fight (or not) in order to balkanize Iraq, Syria, and Iran while earning billions of dollars in war profits.

As usual, george, you hope to move the goal posts. When your first conspiracy theory is exposed as fraud, you moved on to another.
The fact is, the daily slaughter in Iraq is linked directly to the ancient blood-feud that has pitted the Sunni against the Shia since just after the death of islam's inventor. The grisly internecine Sunni-Shia war is worse than most of us know.
Ancient hatreds die hard... the innocent just die.
This is not the innocuous, pedestrian kind of “I don’t like you”, kind of hate. This is ideologically based rage and fury that manifests itself in the most lurid and violent fashion.
Even though there can't really be a person on the planet who isn't aware of the Islamist death cult's atrocities, there are still times when I am snapped into the chilling realization of the immeasurable human cost it exacts to appease its hateful Gods ie: muhammud and the allah god.
Coming from the West, it's just so counterintuitive for us to grasp the depraved and ghoulish behavior of islamism being connected with Gods in any way. In fact, most of us—or those of us who look it in the eye without multicultural glasses on—can't call it anything else but satanic.
