Citat:
Barack Obama has set the stage for renewed US military action in Iraq, after the authorities in Baghdad proved powerless to stop relentless Islamist insurgents from seizing further swaths of a country in danger of breaking apart.
The US president said his national security chiefs were looking at any and every way they could help the Iraqi authorities take the fight to thousands of Sunni jihadists who have seized three of the country's biggest cities and vowed to march on Baghdad.

Detta eftersom att Samarra/Karbala/Bagdad etc. inte är sunnidominerade städer som ser ISIS som sina frälsare.
Här ser ni ett klipp där en från ISIS håller tal i Mosul:

Åhörarna tjuter av glädje och ropar "Allah i'yihmiqon" ("Må Gud stärka/skydda er").
Vid 2:40 ropar de "Bil roh, bil dam, nafdik ya Iraq"? Spännande
