3. I had doubts as to how bad this was, and some claim the events in Mosul are an excuse.

I went through some UK articles with pictures. It was nothing definite, nor was a video that I guess is in Russian, but not RT.

Until I found an Indian news show today. They aren't squeamish about posting the ISIL videos. So I watched the whole show, which was mostly not in English.

I cannot agree with those who think this is some kind of propaganda effort to talk Americans into going back there in some fashion.

Nothing that has been reported is false, it is just what it's been said, yes, it really is that bad.

Obama will be cautious, he doesn't want us there. I'm looking forward to what he has to say today.
