What's weird is if you look at a lot of the suspected ISIS leadership, they are former senior members of the Ba'ath party that ran Iraq with Sadaam.

Those guys don't strike me as hardcore devout radical Muslims, those guys were so Westernized into terms of boozing broads and ummm drugs that it was crazy.

I'm amazed they've lasted this long, but ISIS is almost like a jobs creation program for a fallen government.
