it's all mess, especially if you add to that fact that many of Daesh members in Iraq are actually guys from old Saddam party...Al Bagdadi (their "chief") for example was imprisoned 10 years ago by Americans in Iraq, treated like shit and later released

their goal is to overthrow Assad. just like Qataris....
to put the oil pipeline between Qatar and Europe and...get more influence in the Middle East.
also, Saudis Royal family has old deal with wahabis prayers which basically are most extremist form of islam...want to know where - in which country- people got leashed and their head cutted legal way ? it's Saudi Arabia
there is huge % of Dash fighters in Syria that are actually from Saudi Arabia and Qatar..
actually, what is interesting - most of Daesh fighters in Syria are not Syrians but from countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey
What the program exposed was the problems that arise when people with an outdated culture gain huge power. Remove the wealth from oil and the West can tell Muslims who want to live in the past to

Until then or until we find an alternative, they hold the cards.
