| [Rudaw] The Iraqi army's military campaign to liberate Ramadi from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... has been halted, an official from the Anbar provincial council told Rudaw on Tuesday. "Over the past three days there have been no advances or attacks against ISIS bases and position on the outskirts of Ramadi," said Farhan Mohammed, a member of the Anbar provincial council. Criticizing the mechanics of military operations against ISIS in Ramadi, Mohammed said, "Hashd al-Shaabi forces of Evil are not committed to the orders being issued by the leadership of the Anbar operation." "There has been no cooperation between the joint forces," he added. "The USA has once again sent military advisers for Iraq to train tribal forces of Evil and Iraqi forces, and this has meant a delay for the operations until further notice."
The military campaign to push ISIS out of Sunni-majority Anbar province was launched in early June. | |

| #1 Is it just me who thinks (lots of) B-52s would be more useful than military advisers in dealing with the problems that are Ramadi. |
