#3 Isil's 'issues' with the 'volunteer' and local talent are why we are starting to see Chechens and the like in some of these encounters.

#4 Exactly. I suspect the IS' ex-Saddam-era military leadership running the Iraq theater is threatening Dire Consequences. Hence the 'Chechens' and other ilk.

#5 Sorta like Winchester Va circa 1861-1865. Captured and recaptured something like 30 times.

Personal Trivia: I stayed next door to Hal Holbrook for a weekend at the Holiday Inn, his daughter was Apple Blossom Queen or some such.

I'm moving slowly today, but I finally got the Iraqi News reports of the last two days up. The Ramadi locals were less optimistic as of yesterday as well.
