2016-06-18 |
[Iraq Sun] Forces soldiers recaptured a Fallujah city municipal building from 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.... fighters Friday after a nearly month-long battle to reach the city's core. Once a stronghold for IS krazed killers, Iraqi forces, backed by U.S.-led "The liberation of the government compound, which is the main landmark in the city, symbolizes the restoration of the state's authority" in Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... he said. IS captured Fallujah in 2014, but after heavy fighting over the past month, Iraqi forces have been able to retake nearly half of the city. In this latest offensive, troops entered the city around 6 a.m. and were met by very little resistance from the IS krazed killers. "There is a mass flight of ISIS (IS) to the west that explains this lack of resistance. There are only pockets of them left and we are hunting them down," Lieutenant General Abdulwahab al-Saadi said. According to security officials, many IS members fled the city this week in the run-up to the offensive by posing as civilians fleeing the conflict. |

#2 American blood was spilled in that so-called town. We captured it in 2003 and again in 2004 and Obama gave it back in 2011...that worked out well for the most nuanced, stupidest, smallest, arrogant, and narcissistic President in modern times. I hope they raze the place to the ground, salt the earth and plow it under. |
