The Washington Post said today that Ramadi, 70 miles from Baghdad was falling to ISIS. U.S. Generals, when asked, claimed ISIS was losing ground. Despite that assurance, refugees quoted in the Post described the fighting as looking like a World War Two battle and that bodies were laying in the streets.
The Washington Post is now owned by Amazon essentially and has become fairly apolitical, aside from articles alluding to how Amazon is better than Walmart, etc. They seem to report events in a fairly straightforward manner.
The anniversary just passed of the last helicopters out of Saigon.
How long do you figure it will be before the ISIS flag flies over Baghdad?
Interestingly, back in 1991 American air power crippled and destroyed Saddam's army and largely did so again in 2003. Yet ISIS seems to be less influenced by it. I assume a much lower level of sorties is being flown. But still, I find myself wondering why ISIS supply routes have not been cut via interdiction? Doesn't ISIS need conventional fuel convoys, supply dumps, etc and have to rely on roads, ports and railways?
The nearby regional power of Iran is apparently hostile to ISIS, as is the Russian ally in Syria. China seem precoccupied with territorial disputes over small islands and picking a fight with Japan....So who exactly is supplying ISIS?
