FRONTLINE: ISIS treatment of women
Listen to and watch this Frontline episode here or http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/ if you can. It is about ISIS treatment of women they steal from their families.
This is what George Bush's Neo Con adventure has wrought. ISIS formed because Bush did not know the Iraqi army he disbanded needed to be utilized. Al Qaeda is a shell of its former self and ISIS has taken over. It is spreading and it is spreading fast.
THIS is why the Gordian Knot MUST be broken and why Iran must assume a place of power to break it. It's good for us, it's good for Iran and no matter what Netanyahu says it is good for Israel. I am hoping!
The Best Deal "Cutting the Gordian Knot"
George W. Bush through his utterly failed Iraq War handed Iran the keys to the kingdoms of power in the Middle East. Now we live with that as a new reality. The Iran nuclear agreement the president and his team created is making sure Iran does not turn those kingdom keys into a nuclear bomb!
Eternal US war in that region is IMPOSSIBLE. We have neither the will nor the money nor even the enormous man power it would ultimately take for an all out full blown war with Iran in an already mind numbingly complex region to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb and the ultimate power a nuclear bomb would bring them.
We would fail and our president knows that. Our president is razor sharp in his analysis and WILL avert WWIII through his brilliant ability to negotiate this important Iran nuclear deal. It saves Israel's posterior as well except lovers of war refuse to see it. They want war that they themselves do not want to fight. The cowards are perfectly happy to see other young men and women do the fighting -- and dying -- while they take off on their yachts. Those who oppose this important agreement are nothing short of despicable! Write, call, shout or smoke signal those in power to support the President's deal with Iran. It is the best deal for ALL of us. [See Scott Ritter's editorial "Cutting the Gordian Knot" here and below]
AND THEN WORK SO THAT A REPUBLICAN NEVER SETS FOOT INTO THE OVAL OFFICE AND WORK TO GET AN IMMORAL REPUBLICAN PARTY OUT OF CONGRESS AND ANYWHERE ELSE THEY EXIST SPREADING THEIR RUINOUS POISON TO AN UNKNOWING ELECTORATE WHO DOES NOT REALIZE WHAT THEY DO!
