#2 Yuup.

* See FREEREPUBLIC > [McClatchy] ISLAMIC STATE ROUTS LAST ELITE IRAQ UNITS FROM RAMADI IN HUGE DEFEAT FOR BAGHDAD.

FYI CNN AM repors that Ramadi per se has now fallen to the ISIS, although the Iraqi Govt. claims there still pockets of Anti-ISIS armed Iraqi resistance in the city. THE ISIS IS REPOR IN FULL CONTROL OF RAMADI.

IIRC/IIHC, CNN AM > IRAQ = getting ready to allegedly counter-attack in new offensive to eliminate the ISIS from Ramadi.

The Battle for Ramadi has cost the Iraqi Army-Govt THREE of their best-trained or elite Regiments.
