“So why didn’t the US finish off ISI when it was so clearly on its last legs? According to James Franklin Jeffrey, the US Ambassador to Iraq for almost two years from August 2010, it was down to a lack of resources and commitment from Washington. Jeffrey, also a former senior White House security official between two diplomatic tours of Iraq, told me, ‘In 2010 and 2011 we were doing everything we could do to finish off al-Qaeda [ISI]. That was our priority.”

“Believe it or not, The Management of Savagery is the actual title of an online book that appeared in 2004 and it eerily describes the terror strategy used by Baghdadi and his predecessors including Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Essentially, it is a terror manual that will most probably never be read by Western consumers of news and current affairs. Its 268 pages detail how to bring about an ‘Islamic state’ or caliphate through the use of extreme violence and brutality.”

“The weeks following the fall of Baghdad are crucial to understanding the rise of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and later Islamic State. The post-invasion mayhem and looting would soon be compounded by decisions taken by the new interim bodies that would run Iraq on behalf of the US-led coalition, decisions that would prove disastrous for years after they were taken.”
