Summary:

Armed forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS or the "Islamic State"), already playing a major role in Syria's civil conflict, in June 2014 took control of significant territory and several cities in northwest Iraq, and have advanced close to Baghdad. These developments and emerging U.S. responses have raised concerns over Obama Administration policy and authority for any new use of U.S. military force in Iraq.
