The United States is sending 130 more troops to Iraq amidst a bombing
campaign against ISIS militants in the north and a political crisis
gripping Baghdad. We are joined by veteran Middle East correspondent
Patrick Cockburn, author of the new book, "The Jihadis Return: ISIS and
the New Sunni Uprising." Cockburn addresses the power struggle in
Baghdad, Hillary Clinton's claim that President Obama's "failure" to
support Syrian rebels helped fuel ISIS's advance, the role of oil in the
current U.S. airstrikes, and his fears that Iraq is entering a "new,
more explosive era far worse than anything we've seen over the last 10
years."
