Iraq's war against IS terrorism | Updates and Discussions

[Malik Alashter]

They keep saying Iranians are fighting whilst there aren't any but a handful of advisers and a few Islamists that managed to enter Samarra and protect the shrine. Remember the attempted bomber kid that got captured, he was told that there were Iranians and he should blow them up.

News is spreading false information all over the place, western news as well. Simply since Iraq does not make any effort to get western journalists. When suicide bombers entered Al Asad airbase and were killed it reached the western news by large.. because Americans on the base reported that to the media.

-- EDIT

Saw the video of the kid btw, age ~16. No bodies around him, he was the only person in the place alive besides the soldiers. Soldiers were being shot at, must have been him before he ran out of ammo. No civillian remained in that warzone. All those things along with soldiers themselves being shot at points at 1 thing, he was doing it. Perhaps there's no solution but to kill anyone that aims at the soldiers, sad for the young fella but it's war. Being 16 is no license to commit terror and get away with it. If innocent, RIP if not good riddance.

How can I find it thanks.

The biggest oxymoron was the Saudi members supporting the terrorists in the name of democracy and Syrians being free from tyranny. Its laughable.
Their country is ruled like a family business and it does not even offer the APPEARANCE of democracy (like say elections, be they mock elections or not), which they seemingly dont mind because the state subdues them with all these subsidies and cash handouts.
The excuse it by saying the culture is different in KSA and they dont want democracy. So if you dont want it for yourselves on the account of your culture and traditions, how can legitimatlly claim that is what you want for Syrians when you mindlessly support ISIS/FSA and another mindless barbarians?

Whilst they were giving Al Bu Ajeel a choice between IS and Iraq for months they suddenly say that they're ready to fight IS on the latest moment now that IA captured the massive house of the sheikh of al-bu ajeel.

العجيلي: البو عجيل مستعدة لمساندة القوات الامنية ولا يوجد شخص من عشائرنا مع داعش | سياسة

Same with the foreign based Iraqi Ba'ath party, claimed innocence from IS just a few days ago whilst Izzat al Douri praised them in June. Just to stab them in back again after that and let IS enter the area's, they know their way of warfare well this should not be accepted.

All civilians were ordered to evacuate over a week ago. The PMF or "militias" cannot be blamed of any civilian casualties.

 

[Al-Kurdi]

“US planes have provided the forces on the ground with clear pictures […] of militant positions, allowing us to fire around 180 rockets at those locations.”

Horrific video claims to show a nine-year-old 'ISIS supporter' being executed by Shia militia - but is it just the latest piece of jihadi propaganda?

He was around ~16 year old. 16 year old teens can fight, 9 year old are small kids. Propaganda lies again.

Here we have another 'kid' terrorist, the one executed looked like this. Is he 9 or rather ~16.

Another IS member they captured earlier, he admitted being born in 1996 ( 18 year old ). Would they call him 12 year old ?

Coming from an Iranian Ridiculous, right?
Ehh... It's not about democracy baby, it's about an Iranian supported psychopath slaughtering his own people in tens of thousands.

Ask your brain to grasp that, and stop repeating this lie you created for yourselves.

@Alshawi1234

Do you actually think there's a point in attempting to reach the center of Tikrit without massive airpower ? They've planted IED's everywhere, there's no point in losing that many people to bombs to free it. This isn't any different than the war in Grozny 1999, Russians leveled it which is the only solution for IS strongholds where no one from inside the city will give a helping hand. Same for Fallujah. The US leveled it with artillery and airpower in the 2nd battle ( 2004 ).

Read about the battle, Tikrit should be a similar operation, civillians left already.

Battle of Grozny (1999–2000) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Russian strategy in 1999 was to hold back tanks and armored personnel carriers and subject the entrenched Chechens to an intensive heavy artillery barrage and aerial bombardment before engaging them with relatively small groups of infantry, many with prior training in urban warfare. The Russian forces relied heavily on ballistic missiles (SCUD, OTR-21 Tochka) and fuel air explosives. (The TOS-1, a multiple rocket launcher with thermobaric weaponwarheads, played a particularly prominent role in the assault). These weapons wore down the Chechens, both physically and psychologically, and air strikes were also used to attack fighters hiding in basements; such attacks were designed for maximum psychological pressure.

Well to do such thing you have to be prepared politically and propaganda cry otherwise the arab and their allies are preparing for it to attack you in media then politically then asking for the world to protect the sunni civilians is from mass shea slaughtering to the sunnis and trust me all going to sing the same song then the separation of the country then every thing else you can imagine.

Already prepared, the US & coalition supports and accepts it.

Then we will see whats up next weeks.
But if that so why they didn't participate in air strike that would help a lot.

Has Iraqi army properly surrounded the city from all side ? If not ISIS can slip through Iraqi army offense easily, regroup, employ hit and run attacks, strategy of bleeding through thousand cuts.

This offensive should be taken as a small piece of puzzle. Securing border with Syria is the main thing I would consider choking ISIS in iraq.
