The Guardian
newspaper published an analytical article dealt with the fall of the
Syrian city of Palmyra in the hands of the "Islamic state", and its
impact on US strategy in Iraq and Syria.
And see her article in The Guardian that the fall of Palmyra imposes on
Americans to reconsider in dealing with the "Islamic state" in Syria
and Iraq strategy.
Vantsarat recent regulation in Palmyra and gray were, according to the
paper, a painful blow to a coalition led by the United States and showed
the American strategic gaps.
The Guardian cited in the analysis of a statement by former US
Secretary of Defense, Robert Gate, who said that his country does not
already have a strategy in Syria and Iraq, and they behave with
developments day by day.
The paper points out that the United States program for the training
and arming of Syrian troops to fight the "Islamic state" without Bashar
al-Assad, is not progressing as quickly as required, and that the Syrian
opposition demands to impose a no-fly zone to protect civilians, does
not fall on deaf ears.
It believes that all of these facts have made the credibility of the US
President, Barack Obama, fade, and that the Iraqi Sunnis look with
suspicion to the United States and other Western countries in dealing
with Iran and the Shiites in general.
The paper concludes by saying that the belief in the Middle East is
that of the "Islamic state" will not be defeated if the Bashar al-Assad,
which has weakened its position in recent weeks, fell, but no sign of
the demise of his rule.

The paper quotes statements made by officials in international
organizations concerned with effects, such as UNESCO, which expresses
concern regarding the fate of the effects of Palmyra, which are
classified as human heritage.
But activists destroy spoke to the Financial Times denounced "the West
interesting effects and fear its destruction, while turning a blind eye
to the blood that is flowing there."
The city has also believe that the prison where hundreds of political
prisoners, Syrians and Lebanese, and activists say that President Bashar
al-Assad's regime the transfer of detainees from Palmyra in the past
few weeks, is not known Mbarhm.
Obedience or death

in Iraq, and talked to local officials from the Sunni areas took up arms
alongside the Shiite militia backed by Iran, to defend their cities
before creeping regulation.

Hawija, in Kirkuk, she recounted how her escape from the grip of the
"Islamic state" after the control of the organization to his home town,

The collection Jubouri men trained to fight with the former soldiers in
the Iraqi army, accompanied by a Shiite militia, but they did not get
the gun, not the money.

He says al-Jubouri, in his speech to the newspaper, he did not find
nothing wrong in fighting alongside the Shiite militia backed by Iran,

Hawija and Anbar, fear of attacks on them Shiite militia, accused of
burning and looting of houses in the areas which they were expelled of
