Iraq counts on U.S. advisers, mostly out of sight, in war on IS
Published Thursday. It will be interesting to see how this changes under President Trump.
[AlAhram] When Iraqi forces faced a fierce 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
