The Old Woman and the Fly (Iraq Style)
So, thanks to U.S. intervention, jihadis in Iraq have gone from marginal, heavily out-gunned nuisance factor to a heavily armed semi-regular force with Sunni allies that controls a third of Iraq, can wipe the floor with Iraqi "army," and go toe-to-toe with the pershmerga--until now generally rated the best fighting force in Iraq. At this rate, the Islamic State will end up with weapons of mass destruction--probably made in the USA.
