| 2015-05-29 |
| [Rudaw] The Iraqi Defense Ministry has issued a statement claiming Iraqi joint forces have besieged ISIS Death Eaters in Ramadi, cutting off supplies and reinforcements from other myrmidon-held areas in Anbar province. "Our intelligence information shows that ISIS can no longer receive military assistance in Ramadi and Iraqi forces have surrounded the city in all directions," Qais Al-Robai, media officer of the ministry, told news hounds in Baghdad on Wednesday. A security official also told Rudaw on Wednesday that an estimated 17 ISIS Death Eaters were killed in Ramadi by Iraqi fighter jets. ISIS took control of Ramadi, capital of Anbar province, on May 17, raising their black flag over the governor's compound and setting it ablaze hours later. The retreat of the Iraqi forces recalled the collapse of Iraqi police and military forces last summer, when 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.... group's initial blitz into Iraq saw it capture about one-third of the country. |

| #2 The biggest problem for the IA is that the few they have that do fight have been hung out to die by the cowards/runners. I know of a couple that died in Ramadi trying to hold a position when the units around them simply vaporized, leaving heavy weapons in place for ISIS to use against the units that held. |
