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?
