      the reasons the US claim are irrelevant, certainly propaganda, and probably lies. the US is doing military action in these places. the US is a terrorist state.

          After the U.S. invasion, the Coalition Provisional Authority under Paul Bremer banned senior Ba’ath Party members from government jobs and dissolved the Iraqi Armed Forces.

          This mass dislocation of soldiers became the root of opposition to US occupation and eventually the core of the ISIS movement.

          Incidentally, also a group the United States clumsily expended in their efforts to harass Iraq’s neighbors.
