Anyways about the Sallahiddin operations.
Diyala cost about 550 casualties to liberate it. Areas included jalawla, sadiya, Udhaim, Moqdadiyah, Sinsil, and all the villages and settlements around them. This compared with 108 casualties in the 2004 Fallujah operation.
However there...
No one is happy with targeting civilians. But the percentage if civilian targets by the "Shia militias" is tenfolds less than any other conflict, it's just that media puts more focus on it.
Look at the Ghaza conflict. Nearly 2000 civilian casualties. Imagine if the headline says "radidhi...
Sunnis killing Sunnis if we interfere we'd be sectarian. I'm saying that everyone of them who helped IS come in and later got bit, no one is to blame but themselves. That applies to the Nujaifi Muslim brotherhood lot who were all in for the revolution and later were exiled and their properties...
Not much when it comes to their view against Shias. (I mean Saddamist baathist). But theologically, IS believed that Saddam Hussien and everyone who upholds baathist views as a kaffer and is punishable by death. They actually killed and arrested hundreds of Baathists when they took over...
There's no such thing as Baathists on the ground. They only exist on their FB pages from Amman, Erbil, or Turkey. The vast majority of what makes up IS now are ex-Baathists who would not hesitate to kill anyone which carries the Infadil Baathist ideology.
The operations in Sallahiddin province are aimed at regaining 90k KM2. It includes tens of small villages and towns and one of the largest cities under IS control. They operations are expected to continue over a span of at least 3 weeks, with further time for removing IED's.
All these...
^ they said the same about Diyala, they said the same about JURF Al sahkr at the end they will be reduced to dust. The type of IS fighters have the same mentality as this guy, and that's why all of them will be killed to avenge out martyrs. After what they did in the Tikrit air acadamy, there...
The coalition give direct and live support for the peshmerga front lines, a luxury the ISF don't get, the PMF don't get any support at all.
As for baghdad falling, it's a 7 million population with close to 5 million shias. That's like the entire KRG population. So it wouldnt have fell...
It's a battle of revenge for the Tikrit air acadamy massacre. The time of allowing terrorists to operate under the "national reconciliation" is over.
Besides, unless you want them to keep attacking relentlessly you have to get rid of their strongholds.
The peshmerga didn't go for hawijah...
Yes plenty of Iranian Safir jeeps for artillery and canons. They are small, mobile, inexpensive and they do the job. They ones with cannons are currently used in the same manner as tanks and doing the same job.
There are at least 10,000 Turkmen within the PMF mostly from Kirkuk and Nineveh. The shabak/ Turkmen should have close to 15,000 fighters before the Mosul offensive. However they will probably be directed towards tel afar and the Nineveh plains mostly and not Mosul. Some of them are already...
Kata'ib Hezbollah preparing for the assault on Alem and Dour.
You can see the innocent civilians have mostly evacuated to PMF held areas, while IS families are evacuating north towards Hawijah, shirqat and Mosul. Convoy of evacuees at 3:40
Fortunately there are thousands of Sunnis with the...
Let's not forget what happened during the fall of Mosul. When all the sunnis soldiers and police later down their arms, the Kurds took as much equipment as they could and headed into kurdish territory saying it wasn't their fight. Although kurdish politicians had a Hand in what was known as the...
Lol ok buddy, you got what you want now you can screw off. Go to the local Saudi threads instead. But that doesn't change anything about the Shia view of the quran.
Raq an the Shia view on the quran is clear, I don't need youtube videos to prove anything. I could say the same and bring Sunni hadiths of the quran not being complete. But I'm a bit over that. I don't have the time nor will to debate these issues, neither is this the right thread or forum to...
No air support for PMF as it isn't in their interest. They haven't even been serious with preventing massacres again Sunni tribes. They only protect the Kurds mostly. They dont want to see any quick victories and want to keep a "balance", no one group gets too strong.
