(en) Anarkismo.net: ISIL, Wahabbismo and petrodollars: the worst of alliances - Journalism B, 2nd half of June 2014 Bruno Lima Rocha (pt)

The ISIL is the worst possible interpretation of Sunni fundamentalism; its rise is 
directly linked to the U.S. presence in Iraq. ---- This article was even written in the 
first half of June, when the Islamic State had not proclaimed his caliphate. It is worth 
examining the absurd alliance, tolerated by the State Department and the Pentagon, where 
the flow of proceeds from the Saudi monarchy, the funds flowed maintenance splits even 
more conservative and medieval al-Qaeda. Hell continues in the Arab world under the logic 
of geopolitics. ---- The fundamentalism has new protagonist with the advancement in the 
Iraqi front, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, its acronym in English). 
Founded by a former university professor, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the ISIL operated on two 
fronts (Syria and Iraq), and the merger with the group in front of the Syrian civil war 
Nusra Front, took the lead of jihadism in the region. His leadership tends to catalyze the 
jihadist Sunnis therefore does not recognize the formal heir of the Al-Qaeda, Al Zawahiri. 
The motto of this organization is: "Sheikh Baghdadi and Sheikh Osama bin Laden are 
similar." Although this organization is not new to the experts and survivors of the Arab 
World, it is important to know the worldwide opinion that armed groups wahabbismo are the 
bastard children of petrodollars pouring through intelligence networks coordinated by the 
monarchies of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Over the more than three years, a conflict that organizes opposition from Sunni majority 
in two major fields Syrian civil war, ISIL is the Saudi and Qatari money. On the other 
side of the trench, the Free Syrian Army, coming from the cracks in the structure of the 
national army once controlled by the Assad clan, operates with funds of the Republic of 
Turkey and is viewed sympathetically by the White House. Pentagon strategists bump in 
autonomous political will and means of suicide Sunni Arab elites and conservative 
billionaire. Devotees of the transnationalization of Syrian and Iraqi wars, eventually 
transforming both battlefields in a civil and communitarian conflict (sectarian) between 
Sunnis and Shiites. The imbalance occurs in the ISIL operational autonomy and motivation 
warrior, with one foot in the wilderness and other public relations for internet.

In the battle for the major city of Mosul, 30,000 soldiers "Iraqis" before 800 jihadis 
decamped, abandoning the strategic location. The government of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri 
al-Maliki knows that if the ISIL move on, what's left of his government and puppet state 
is on the verge of collapse. The Saudi and wahabbitas support networks led to the Islamic 
State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL in English) to be hegemonic in a third of the original 
Iraq and ensuring operational autonomy equivalent area in Syria. Palms Pentagon 
strategists and the oil lobby that does not break the Arab monarchies and its double game 
with the fundamentalist Sunnis.

What is this country called Iraq after the invasion of the second Bush! The wicked work of 
members of Bush and Dick Cheney moves less than 100 kms from Baghdad. The rift - or the 
new generation of Al-Qaeda - the Army by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Levant 
is the historical name of the Middle East) already controls more than a third of Iraqi 
territory and stole more than $ 425 million in its advance in Mosul, the second largest 
city in the "country." Result: maybe the jihadist Sunnis did not win, but the obituary 
decree of legal fiction called post-Saddam Hussein Iraq.
