this is news?

Oh, well, let's form a coalition of the willing, including Canada this time, and go there and do the fighting for them. I mean third time's the charm, this time we'll set up a regime that is stable and able to hold the country together, and all will finally be well.

This one is a good companion piece.

http://rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/230520158

It purports to be from a Kurdish commander who was stationed in Ramadi.

His story is the actual attack that penetratated Ramadi was nothing new this time.

He says they'd already met stronger forces on multiple occasions and beat them back.

$1:
But this time there was a major betrayal by the Special Operations command. This command was formed by the Americans during [former] prime minister Nouri al-Maliki and they carried the latest advanced weapons.

Two days prior to the ISIS attack we had accurate information that the Special Operations had packed up and abandoned their base in Ramadi.

I personally relayed the information through the chain of command and contacted Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.

This command was formed by the Americans during [former] prime minister Nouri al-Maliki and they carried the latest advanced weapons.

I informed him of the photo and video evidence and location of hundreds of army vehicles and Humvees of the Special Operations forces assembled and about to abandon Ramadi.

I explained to PM Abadi the exact location of the forces on the map. It was 4am. They flew a plane to the place I told them and took photos of the assembled vehicles. They learned that the intelligence was correct and that indeed the forces were getting ready to withdraw.

Later that day more than 200 army vehicles abandoned their posts and their withdrawal led to the defeat of all other forces that were in Anbar to fight.

Why did the Special Operations act this way? I personally think there was a political reason behind it.

As a military commander, I don't think PM Abadi or the Ministry of Defense have any authority over the Special Operations. Or it could be that the Shiite forces close to Maliki committed this act in order to embarrass and bring down Abadi's government.

Potemkin village. Not worth a single dollar or drop of blood that were spent to build it.

The Iraqis are going back at it today with help from Sunni and Shia militias. They took a small town outside Ramadi and are massing outside for a major attack. There's air support from America and the rest of us.
