Quite a few foreign policy experts predicted & warned the Bush administration that this would happen during the Iraq war, but neo-con policies don't really have a lot of foresight or brains to them.
Iraq's been a disaster since 2003, so I wouldn't really say it's "news". ISIS may take over, who knows, but that's what happens when you take a secular person with too much balls out of power in an extremely polarized region.
