All of Shirqat has been liberated from IS. In Anbar, Jazirat Haditha has been taken within 24 hours and Shirqat in just over 48hrs.
I don't see what other force that fights IS on the ground is able to take cities in such a short amount of time, neither any local or foreign military force that...
It's some PMF leaders and other politicians that oppose support.
Officially the gov requested air support from the US, this grew into a larger coalition and ground training/different support. Only recently it has grown to battalion level advise and air support from Apaches. In Iraq they are...
Your post goes about several subjects, though I agree about Maliki and the many politicians.
As you said, I agree once again that the Arab states aren't actually acting that hostile to one another. This has changed, now there's a lunatic that wants to revive his Ottoman empire and has burnt...
Take this as an example to show the amount of foreigners (sabotage fifth columnists, foreign kurds etc.) in parliament defending the most corrupt minister who failed to answer questions of his money spending.

The Iraqi parliament on Wednesday passed a vote of no-confidence against finance minister Hoshyar Zebari, voting in a secret ballot.
Out of the 249 MPs who voted in the 328-seat parliament, 158 voted against him, 77 were in his favor and 14 abstained. This automatically sacks the finance...
Let me guess, you want Europeans and Americans to invade Syria and change the regime for your better once again, you wish they would do it in Iran as well. Many westerners dying for Jews, Iran doesn't threaten America or Europe anyway they only threaten you, yet somehow your fellows managed to...
Sunni Islam has become the problem given that the Gulf/Saudi are very rich nowadays and export their ideology of Sunnism. Saying that isn't sectarian it's the truth
That's what's written on paper, when you look at reality it's different.
Years ago the initial idea of the Free Syrian Army was a secular force opposing the Syrian regime military, this was the same force the US supported. That has all changed since 2013, what used to the FSA in the northern...
Very insignificant compared to 2011, 2012 and 2013. Theyve almost all adopted Islamism and cursed secularism, they work with Nusra.
The NSA is different. But even for them it's a hard job for the US to find non Islamist fighters that are willing to join a side against the SAA, which is why the...

British soldiers may face charges over drowning of Iraqi teen
Three soldiers, one a decorated major, may face charges over the drowning of a 15-year-old Iraqi boy in Basra in 2003...
FSA doesn't exist anymore, it's groups such as Ahrar al Sham, they're Islamist. The new attempt of an FSA is the NSA (New Syrian army) which is tiny. Even the US 'gave up' on them aside from the 'New Syrian army', they're terrorists.
