Unfortunately I can't figure out how to bring the videos in here.. They are on the MSNBC website.. This report is so well done on several levels, ... Its the most recent film out of Kobane,...Its the first USA MSM reporter in Kobane... it answers the kinds of questions Westerners would ask, and questions specific to the US/Western participation in the ME in general, relative to our specific politics... as well as a nice historical summation, of what happened and why. ... It wraps it up all very nicely in one concise package of general overview.... . It was done so well (from that perspective) I didn't want anyone to miss the opportunity to see it and separated it out of the Kobane Thread... It covers the US in Iraq, departure, Arab Spring, Libya, Syria, the rise of Baghdadi and how it happened as would be expected, who trained the Iraqi Army,= General Barbero who in 2010 saw them as very capable, and and why they failed (ran) and what General Barbero says about it now in Nov 2014.....The piles of US weapons the Iraqi Army left for Daesh in Mousel (Iraqi Army out-numbered Daesh 15 to 1 !!!!) despite the US spending 25 BILLION dollars to train them... CIA perspective and westerners fighting with Daesh (ISIS).... and on and on.... Great summary piece, seriously hope you all take time to watch it... . It is totally worth clicking on these links... totally.... I've ordered these by date. This first one is a general overview.... when the reporter was in Kobane... http://www.msnbc.com/andrea-mitchell/watch/inside-kobani--us-led-fight-continues-356036675912... . This is the major link with the segmented series... If you start with the first of the series and keep watching, after each segment finishes it goes right into the next segment... If you want to pick up segments later, you'll notice on the right hand side just above the MSNBC logo box, there is a scroll box with the segments in there and you can scroll through to catch up where you left off... . http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/kobani--the-little-city-that-stood-up-to-isis-358662723970...
