Political Adviser to the Commander of US Forces in Iraq 2007–2010 - Emma Sky
Where do the roots of the crisis in Iraq lie and what should the US and the West do?
When the self-styled Islamic State movement took control of Ramadi, capital of Iraq's Anbar province, it was another humiliation for the Baghdad government. Another discomforting development for the United States which has bombed IS, but failed to neutralise the jihadi threat. Stephen Sackur talks to Emma Sky, a British woman who was a senior adviser to the US military in Iraq until 2010. Where do the roots of the current mess lie and what should America and the West be doing now?
