The capital of Anbar province fell to Islamic State militants Sunday as hundreds of police personnel, soldiers and tribal fighters abandoned the city, prompting the Iraqi premier to order Iranian-aligned Shiite militias to join the fight to win back control.
The fall of Ramadi represented a huge victory for the Islamic State and dealt a profound blow to Iraq’s U.S.-backed government, led by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, and its military campaign to drive the extremist group out of the war-torn country. Just 24 hours before, officials in Baghdad announced that military reinforcements had been dispatched to defend the city, in Iraq’s largest province, against a brutal assault that began Thursday.
But by Sunday, even the roads to Baghdad, 80 miles to the east, appeared vulnerable to the militant advance.
The fall of Saigon next? Helicopters on the roofs?
Once the Iraqi Shite rulers understand the gravity of the situation faced by
their loyal Sunni subjects in Anbar province and commit their finest elite
mobs with rifles to the battle there will be no doubt about the outcome.
Pres. Obama took credit for ending the war in Iraq.
He has a Nobel Peace Prize to prove it. So how could this recent news be true?
(okay the peace prize was awarded when he’d only been in office two weeks.
But that is enough time for someone who reversed anthropogenic global warming retroactively. As there’s been no global warming for 18 years or so.
Quite an accomplishment, especially for someone whose only been in office for 1/3 of that time.

Muslim killing Muslim Christmas comes early.
A verse from the Koran. May Mohamed watch my backside while I kill and slaughter fellow Muslims and Infidels from the front side. Praise be his name.
a big bomb would go along way to bringing peace to the area.
Now we will see if the Iranians will move in to save their Shiite cousins. After all
Sunnis are only 25% of the Iraqi population.
As if Obama gives a rats ***. He’s smiling away while smoking a fattie with Jay Z in the Situation Room. All part of the plan folks. Hope. Change.
ISIS takes Ramadi, and the DOD says on the same day “Strategy to defeat Islamic State is working”.
Well, both could be true, if AliBama’s long game is to hand Iraq to Iran. (Didn’t the US fly air cover for the Iranian Shiite militia a few weeks ago?) You know, for the nuke deal.
Beat me to it. JV team on the run!
