NATO INTELLIGENCE WERE TOLD OF ISIS PLAN TO INVADE IRAQ MONTHS AGO

While David Cameron, Tony Blair, Dick Cheney, General Petraeus and all the other members of the war crowd either demand large scale bombing of Iraq or terrify us through warnings of plots of attacks on the homeland because of the recent rise of ISIS in Iraq, very few are asking: who knew this was coming?

Tony Cartalucci recently highlighted Lebanon's The Daily Star reporting on the movement of ISIS in Syria to the border with Iraq in March.

But this invasion of Iraq by ISIS was known about months before this!!

MI6 and the CIA were handed intelligence outlining the planned takeover of northern Iraq by jihadists and their allies five months ago but the British and American governments failed to act on it, senior officials in Iraq have told The Telegraph.

The head of intelligence for the autonomous Kurdish regional government, which has links with the West, said he had repeatedly tried to send warnings both to the central government in Baghdad and to its allies, Britain and America.

But despite repeated attempts to impress on Washington and London the seriousness of the unfolding situation, he said there was no response from either government.
