Iraqi forces advance towards Islamic State-held air base south of Mosul
Once they take this airbase they can start massing forces up north.

Over 400 iraqis killed by IS terrorist attacks in a single week. Yet some still cry about "sunni opression" whenever IS receives another defeat. May they rest in peace.
Falujah has been fully liberated including all the nearby pockets and areas.
Iraqi forces continue clearing IS pockets in the area from Haditha to baghdad, in hopes to get it secured completely before launching another face of the Anbar operatoins. It will be the final face and includes Rawa, Anah, and Qa'im. This will fully secure the entire border region between Anbar with KSA, Jordan and Syria.
Iraqi forces have also advanced in the north, retaking Qayara military camp and air base one of the largest facilities in nineveh province. It will take a some weeks to rehabilate the camp and eventually start massing forces inside for the Qayara ops which is just 5 KM east of the base. It was a swift operation with the Air Force doing all the fighting. Ground forces didn't engage in battles, however they did find some wounded IS fighters whom were executed.

900 missing not murdered, interrogation.
Those poor innocent adult men from Fallujah used to be with IS, let's enslave them and make them rebuild Ramadi to repay their collaboration with the enemy

U.S. officials described the Iraqi advance that took back Qayyarah Air Base as the largest armored operation since Saddam Hussein’s forces invaded Kuwait in 1990. It included one battalion from the Iraqi army’s 9th Armored Division, three battalions from Iraq’s counterterrorism forces and the 92nd Brigade of the Iraqi army’s 15th Division, a senior Iraqi army commander said.
The commander, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he said Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s office issued orders not to speak to the media, said the advance on the base began Saturday morning and that Iraqi forces controlled the installation by midday.
US to send 560 troops to the large Al-Qayyarah airbase which the ISF captured from IS recently. Carter says the new forces will help establish a newly retaken air base as a staging hub for long-awaited battle to recapture Mosul from Islamic State militants.
The Pentagon said the new U.S. forces will include engineers, logistics personnel and other military advisors, and that Qayara will “become a vital springboard” to retake Mosul.
U.S. officials said a team of American troops went into Qayara on Sunday for a quick site assessment and then withdrew. One likely job is helping Iraq troops build bridges to get across the Tigris River into Mosul.
The Qayara-based force will be allowed to accompany Iraqi troops at the battalion level, and thus closer to the front lines than U.S. forces who are largely confined to Iraqi division headquarters.

Good to see Americans caring about their puppet regime in Baghdad. Next dont forget to invite Israelis
Puppets of Iran or the US make up your mind.
Turkey has Americans stationed at Incirlik airbase.
Kuwait has American forces at Bubiyan island, basically that whole island is for the US military.
The US has an air force base in Qatar for B-52's currently, previously B-1 bombers
Bahrain is the HQ for the 5th fleet of the US navy.
Jordan, similar.
UAE has Rafales stationed.
That's not much, the list can be expanded.
Here's the difference though. There are no US military bases in Iraq, there are US soldiers on Iraqi bases. Whereas regional countries actually have US military bases.

Reality is you just want to find anything to feed your hatred for a certain group of people, either way why am I arguing with you
