Iraq's war against IS terrorism | Updates and Discussions

[Saho]

Ramadi had completely fallen.

Ramadi + Fallujah = Right next door to Baghdad.

Baghdad won't look good. I have a feeling it will be much, much worse considering the majority are Shia. It could turn into an ocean wace of bloodshed.

@Serpentine @SALMAN AL-FARSI

You both don't make any sense. Reality is army has serious flaws, every time they end up in failure all you do is put blame on 'fifth columiists' , 'Sunni residents'. This is definition of incompetence. It's the army/militia that flee from the ISIS insurgency. The militias are present in Fallujah but still losing eastern portions to ISIS. Not being welcome there is not equivalent to being militarily competent. I believe cowardice is a big factor here, suggesting leveling cities is a sign of cowardice. Iraqi militias operate in the same way most regional armies do, which is strike fear into civilian population hoping it will bring about results. This method won't work, it is counter-effective. Now ISIS can send reinforcements east and try retaking Tikrit, or going for Samarra, which endangers Baghdad. So ruling out a solution makes no sense.

The Iraqi government needs to fund the army and improve its skills, whilst take political steps needed to reconcile the nation. Both of you are against that because you want Iranian dominated government, which will only complicate matters.

Baghdad won't look good. Expect the Capital to turn into Fallujah 2.0

They have not completely fallen. Although I believe once they are, they won't go on full on offensive in Baghdad until they retake Tikrit otherwise they will easily be ambushed unless they manage to do the unbelievable and enter central Baghdad and maintain a presence there.

Iraq is a failed project. No one is ready to settle for the other. Partition is the best option.

3 Hashd al-Sha'abi regiments have reached al-Mazra'a, east of Fallujah, to reinforce #Iraq's forces there (likely for the Karma op).

Most of eastern Fallujah is in control of militias/army. Ramadi seems to be largely in control of ISIS.

.....
Some Arab reports are saying they already took over 8th birgade base? So they must have taken weapons.

........

Anyways, this is being blown out of proportion, I'm pretty sure prior to coalition IS was controlling Ramadai , Falujjah, Tikrit, and going on offensive in Samarra. So it is not yet game changing.

 

[The SiLent crY]

This is the fault of that Western - Saudi backed prime minister in Iraq .

Iraq trusted Iran and they could take Tikrit and eastern parts . Iraq trusted the US and Arabs , They lost Ramadi .

I let Iraqis to judge not anyone else .

Do you know why ISIS captures cities like Ramadi, Tikrit or Mosul so easily, while it can't even get close to cities like Basrah, Najaf or Karbala? I think the answer is not that difficult.

Because US starts bombing them. And because government/Iran gives Shias arms. Sunni tribes/civilians don't get weapons.

Yes! That's exactly what I meant. Genius answer.

I know truth hurts you.

All Shia/Iranian militias are good for is being sectarian in their language and threatening to rape woman. Without US support IS will rape every Shia militia in Iraq. Everybody knows this, even with government arming all Shia's desperately. Shia's aren't known to be fighters, they prefer life over death. People of Anbar shouldn't fight ISIS in order for sectarian government to return and talk shit and intimidate innocent women. If it wasn't for 'big satan' the government would be toppled. Even with 'big satan' it will happen.

If Saudi Arabia gave IS 1% of the support you give to Shia militias in Iraq IS would take over Baghdad within one week.

Good, please reveal more of yourself. It's getting interesting, yet unsurprising.

The Baghdad government did the mistake to refuse to grant Sunni Arabs autonomy in Anbar. Instead they condemned Sunni leaders like Hashimi to death and shot at protesters. A very bad mistake. Now Anbar will be de facto independent for the next years
