Having failed to achieve any of its objectives in Syria, it inexplicably
“invaded” Iraq, affording the US military a means of “easing into” the
conflict by first confronting ISIS in Iraq, then following them back
across the border into Syria. When this scheme began to lose its impact
on public perception, ISIS first started executing Western hostages
including several Americans. When the US needed the French on board,
ISIS executed a Frenchman. When the US needed greater support in Asia,
two Japanese were beheaded. And just ahead of President Obama’s recent
attempt to formally authorize the use of military force against “ISIS,” a
Jordanian pilot was apparently burned to death in a cage in an
unprecedented act of barbarity that shocked even the most apathetic.
The theatrics of ISIS parallel those seen in a Hollywood production.
This doesn’t mean ISIS didn’t really burn to death a Jordanian pilot or
behead scores of hostages. But it does mean that a tremendous amount of
resources and planning were put into each murder; except, apparently,
the effect it would have of rallying the world behind the US and its
otherwise hopelessly stalled efforts to overturn the government of
Syria.
