ISIS wouldn't exist if this bozo and his band of gangsters had not started an illegal war.
There is such a thing as a legal war?

Nimrud: Outcry as IS bulldozers attack ancient Iraq site - BBC News
Perhaps the US will be selling them to Iran and Iraq since they seem to be the only ones capable of kicking ISIS where it hurts.
Oh yes they are and these sites promote idolatry and views in opposition to what they believe. They have been very clear to the reasoning why they are destroying pre-islamic sites and artifacts and even S-hite Mosques.
The only thing left in Iraq is the building itself. Iraq was stripped on any valuables a few years ago. Perhaps Israel has them on a buying mission or they are just trying to disappear the past like they are trying to do with the 400 erased Arab villages in just 1 year.
Ancient tablets reveal daily life of exiled Jews in Babylon 2,500 years ago - Not Just News - Jerusalem Post
Over 100 palm-sized, 2,500-year-old tablets discovered in Iraq, now on display at Jerusalem’s Bible Lands Museum, are providing unprecedented insights into Jewish life after Judeans were exiled to ancient Babylonia.
The tablets, each inscribed in tiny Akkadian script – an extinct eastern-Semitic language spoken in ancient Mesopotamia – detail transactions and contracts by Judeans forced to leave Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar in 600 BCE.
The antiquities were initially acquired by a wealthy London- based Israeli collector two years ago, who lent them to the museum.
Wow.

Opposition Growing Against ISIS War Authorization
War Authorization Might Not Even Get Out of Committee
Opposition Growing Against ISIS War Authorization -- News from Antiwar.com
The Obama Administration’s Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) against ISIS was already facing an uphill battle, after the White House bragged about deliberately vague wording in the resolution that would let them do virtually anything.
At this point, there’s not a single Democrat in the entire Senate pitching for the bill, and with a number of hawks in the Republican majority also annoyed that the AUMF isn’t explicitly broader, it’s hard to see it passing.
Sen. Bob Corker (R – TN), the extremely hawkish head of the Foreign Relations Committee, is warning that if there isn’t some support from Democrats he might decide to scrap the committee vote outright, meaning the bill probably would never even make it to the floor.
In spite of still not having a war authorization, however, the Obama Administration continues to escalate the war against ISIS, and has treated the AUMF as an afterthought.

As ISIS becomes fragmented, it is more difficult to declare war on such a group.
Might as well declare war on drugs.

US, Israeli Military Advisors Accused of Aiding ISIL Arrested in Iraq / Sputnik International
American and Israeli military advisors were arrested while aiding Islamic State terrorists in Iraq.Iraqi counter-terrorism forces arrested four foreign military advisors from the United States and Israel who were aiding the Islamic State, Iranian Tasnim News Agency reports.
Three of the arrested military advisors are dual citizens of the United States and Israel, while the fourth advisor is from a Persian Gulf country, Iraq’s Sarma News Agency said.
The foreign military advisors were captured in a headquarters, from where the Islamic State organized its military operations in Iraq’s Northern Province of Nineveh.
The arrests were made during the Operation, codenamed "The Sting of a Scorpion". A number of other Islamic State fighters have been killed during the assault. The detained foreign advisors have now been transferred to Baghdad.

As American jets flew top cover, in mid-August Kurdish Peshmerga militia and Iraqi special forces troops recaptured the strategic Mosul Dam from Islamic State militants. Meanwhile Iraqi Golden Brigade commandos liberated parts of Tikrit from the Islamists.
But the militants counterattacked—and that drew Iran into the fighting. In a move that could have far-reaching consequences, Tehran has sent tanks into northern Iraq.
As the Kurds and Iraqi commandos gained ground in the north, Islamic State fighters launched a surprise counterattack toward Baghdad. Local fighters resisted the militants north of Balad air base, formerly the center of the American occupational force.
On Aug. 12, Islamic State also recaptured Jalawla, just 20 miles from the Iranian border. In its initial rampage through northwestern Iraq in June, the militants had taken Jalawla for the first time—and even had struck a nearby Iranian border post. The Kurds quickly took back the town and held it until the Islamists’ mid-August counterattack.

Boko Haram 'joins Islamic State'
Boko Haram began a military campaign to impose Islamic rule in northern Nigeria in 2009. The conflict has since spread to neighbouring states.
It would be the latest in a series of groups to swear allegiance to IS.
In the past Boko Haram is thought to have had links with al-Qaeda.
IS took control of large swathes of territory in eastern Syria and across northern and western Iraq last year.
The group aims to establish a "caliphate", a state ruled by a single political and religious leader according to Islamic law, or Sharia. Its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is known to his followers as Caliph Ibrahim.
In the audio message posted on Saturday, the Boko Haram leader purportedly said: "We announce our allegiance to the Caliph... and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity."
Boko Haram's insurgency has threatened Nigeria's territorial integrity and triggered a humanitarian crisis.
It has carried out frequent bombings that have left thousands dead and has also attacked targets in the capital, Abuja.
IS has forged links with other militant groups across North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
In November Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi accepted pledges of allegiance from jihadists in Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
In January, militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan announced that they were forming an IS "province".
IS is distinguished by the brutality of its tactics, which include mass killings and abductions of members of religious and ethnic minorities, as well as the beheadings of soldiers and journalists.
