Here is a link to a CNN video, showing Shia militias break into celebratory dancing, with the recently severed head of of a prisoner. http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2015/04/01/exp-arwa-damon-in-tikrit.cnn
One says to the camera that they are coming to Mosul.
That should help ensure a greater and more brutal bloodbath there...
Looks like four nights of American bombing opened large areas of the city for the Iraqi Army and Shia militias to move in. The video shows extensive damage to some of Saddam’s old palaces.
ISIS must have taken significant casualties, but apparently there are still some fighting. They will be herded into smaller areas, and blown up. Seems to be winding down, with lots of booby traps to disarm, bodies to bury, and buildings destroyed. Not as bad as Kobane, but worse than the US invasion in 2003.
I had to do some research. It is hard over there to determine who are the good guys when they are mostly bad guys!
ISIS is comprised of radical Sunni’s. Many (all?) of the leaders in ISIS are former Saddam Hussein’s generals, leaders iirc.
Iran is primarily Shia. Saudi Arabia is mostly Sunni.
Well these muslims fight without restrictions on both sides....they are focused on one thing...winning. So it makes sense the areas they fight in will be more than a mess when they're done.
Personally I would not want to see our troops on the ground at all in this fight.
Tikrit was liberated before obama became president.
AFP is FUBAR under BO. FUBO.
