#4 Dawg knows for war stores, I suspect Turkey ex-Saudi stuff. For non warlike consumables I am thinking they are living off the land. This a question that interests me heaps. Once they are in Shia areas what happens to fresh fruits and vegetables?

#5 July/August they had an opportunity to seriously disrupt Bagdad with little effort.

Maybe ABBA took a bribe.
