October 29, 2014

On Tuesday evening, PBS’s Frontline aired the new documentary "The Rise of ISIS", which detailed its investigation into the "miscalculations and mistakes behind the brutal rise of ISIS."

The documentary included interviews with key Obama administration officials and experts.

"The administration not only was warned by everybody back in January, it actually announced that it was going to intensify its support against ISIS with the Iraqi armed forces. And it did almost nothing," former American ambassador to Iraq James Jeffrey said in an interview with Frontline’s Ken Pollak.
