► ISIS Took control of Mosul in a lightening attack on Monday.
► Has become the richest terror group ever after looting $429 million in cash and gold bullion from Mosul's central bank.
► Took over the city of Tikrit and is assaulting Samarra. ISIS also captured Fallujah and Ramadi in January.
► Routed Iraqi security forces - which the US and Britain spent billions training and equipping.
► Seized a huge amount of US-supplied military hardware.
► "Freed" 1,000 inmates from Mosul's central prison.
► Stormed the Turkish consulate and kidnapped 80 Turkish civilians.
► Began mass executions via beheadings.
► Forced at least 500,000 men, women, and children to flee several cities in what one expert calls "the largest and swiftest mass movements of people in the world in recent memory".
So, to recap, the 2003 invasion of Iraq:
• Cost 4,500 American lives
• Cost 100,000 Iraqi lives
• Found no weapons of mass destruction
• Destabilized the Middle East
• Put the country in a position to be overrun by Islamic extremists
