Baathisten helpen ISIS
ISIS.
Dit verklaart waarom ISIS militair zoveel succes heeft:
In contrast to Mr. Zarqawi, who increasingly looked outside Iraq for leadership help, Mr. Baghdadi has surrounded himself by a tight clique of former Baath Party military and intelligence officers from the Hussein regime who know how to fight. Analysts and Iraqi intelligence officers believe that after Mr. Baghdadi took over the organization he appointed a Hussein-era officer, a man known as Hajji Bakr, as his military commander, overseeing operations and a military council that included three other officers of the former regimes security forces.
Het zijn dus voormalige militairen officieren van Saddam Hoessein die samenwerken met al-Baghdadi en die feitelijk de militaire strategie bepalen. Opeens is duidelijk waarom ISIS zo professioneel overkomt: het is onderhand een professionele organisatie geworden met ervaren officieren die weten hoe je oorlogen moet winnen.
