Obama Administration Doesn't See its Game Over in Iraq

One headline reads A Kurdish Wall Stalls ISIS and the other U.S. Sees Failure in Fighting ISIS on Social Media and yet the Obama administration doesn't see the picture which is Daesh, the Arabic name for ISIS or ISIL, is a Sunni Rebellion.  A rebellion of religious cohorts that after its push back in Kurdish Kobani in Northern Syria and a loss of Tikrit in Iraq to a moderate Sunni tribe has morphed into a political union that governs to consolidate its hold in the regions they control.  It almost completely done so that if a Sunni were interviewed in Iraq or Syria they would indicate a preference for Daesh versus Shia Assad in Syria or Maleki, face it he is still dashing any hope of Sunni and Shia reconciliation, in Iraq.  Its game over!  Any force the U.S. puts to bear exacerbates the revolt and makes for the easy jihad recruitment against the Great Satan on social media.
