These Psychotic religious extremists are trying to bait the USA into putting troops on the ground again in Iraq as a recruiting tool. This BS of trying to destabilize regimes in the ME is driven by Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, all for their own reasons and none of them are in the interest of America. This killing of an innocent journalist is horrible, but it is not a reason to put troops in Iraq.
