The person in the vid says Anbar operations command so must be Anbar.I have not watched that video but is that not the Hamrin "mountains" in Salah-ad-Din province?
No one can monitor every part of it 24/7, but when the borders are protected well and the King air 350 ISR + drones get to work they will make the desert a non safe area for ISIS.Yes, light attack helicopters or better drones would finish the job. The problem is though that such a big area cannot be monitored 24/7. You can keep killing ISIS members but new will arrive if the main problem is not deal with and that responsibility is on the Iraqi government and people. No apache helicopters or UAV's will solve this.
Has army presence but few, a lot of small cities have to be cleaned.Ar-Rutba is the only major population center in that region of Al-Anbar and I suspect that ISIS have a pretty much free hand out there. No army presence nothing. Close to the Jordanian and Syrian border as well. Hilly etc. The most ideal geography in Iraq outside the Kurdish autonomous region.
Without the required equipment they cannot do everything, that’s mostly air attack and surveillance equipment + a more organized and effective intel agency.Anyway I do hope that Iraq gets a better government so that the Iraqi Sunni Arabs will feel more included. If there were no problems no protests would have occurred.
But ISIS are small anyway. All that is exaggerated. 300.000-400.000 Anbaris have already left the province. Only a minority support those idiots. So no need to punish a whole people and province. Will just made people more anti-government.
Yet we keep talking about Al-Anbar when the main problems are found in Mosul and the other provinces. Yet interventions there will be very difficult.
Thought it already was ? Anyway, save the discussion on that part as none of us have any power to make such a decision.I am afraid to say it to you but I only think that federalism is the way forward for Iraq.
