Via Islamic World News, this was Ramadi on Friday. The red represents Iraqi forces, the dark gray ISIS, and the magenta areas, including bridges, were contested.
On Thursday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey was asked about Ramadi’s imminent fall. “The city itself is — it’s not symbolic in any way. It’s not been declared, you know, part of the caliphate, on the one hand, or central to the future of Iraq. But we want to get it back. I mean, the issue here is not — is not brick and mortar. It’s about defeating ISIL. So, as I said, this — I — you know, I would much rather that Ramadi not fall, but it won’t be the end of the campaign should it fall. We got to get it back. And that’s tragic for the people, as have — as we’ve seen along the way,” Dempsey told reporters at the Pentagon.

That’s what happens when you cut and run, eh Obama?
Dang, Dempsey sounds just like Patton. Oh, wait. No he doesn’t.
Team Obama....the gift that keeps on giving, to Isis.
Expect the same line from this guy when Baghdad falls.
All part of the plan.
ISIS, “rebels”, Benghazi, IRS attacks on conservatives,
Obola and his McCain should take a bow.
Is it just me or is Dempsey a moron?
JV team my shiny Hiney.....
Maybe they should stop calling them ISIL....
“Maybe they should stop calling them ISIL....”

ISIS,ISIL-—What’s the difference?
Just calling them “the bad guys” works for me.

Obama: the potus that healed the world.
"If you knew then what you know now.........nah!"
Comment on PJ:
4,491 brave American Soldiers and Marines died to free Iraq. Everthing was going in the right direction. The Iraqi’s had theri very first free elections. Their families no longer had to worry about midnight visits from the Mukhabarat (Iraqi Secret Police).
Then we were all “blessed” with the devine wisdom and impeccable leadership of Emperor Zippy, otherwise known as Barak Obama. He, single handedly, turned every gain around and gave the country away to the Jihadists. He effectively spit on the graves of heros who were far better men than he could ever hope to be. They died for freedom and he wiped out their sacrifice for personal political gain.
Words can’t describe the loathing I have for him. It is un-Christian to wish harm on anyone, but I can’t help it. The world would be a far better place if he had a heart attack and died.
The military used to destroy weapons that we could not keep or give away.
Oh I am sure they got all those weapons just be accident......(sarcasm)
Yeah just like Benghazi.... No one is trying to give ISIS the weapons at all......yeah right!
My wife came up with an interesting theory after watching this story on the news. While this may sound like a tin-foil hat theory, she is not one of those and I find it hard to dismiss her idea.
Anyway, here it is: Suppose ISIS really IS under the control of the US Government. It’s true purpose is, simply, to create hundreds of thousands, even millions, of Muslim refugees. These refugees can then be relocated into the West under the guise of humanitarian relief. But the real purpose it to grow the Muslim populations in the West even faster than they were growing before.
While I consider this policy to be the height of foolishness), I’m sure we would all agree that Obama (and much of the Democratic Party) loves the idea. Nuff said.
Sounds like Obammy is a bigger military genius than Kim Jung UN.. He ranks his legacy with Patton.. Swags his stick at Lawrence of Arabia..
And has the wickedest sand trap shots around.
Too bad he wasn’t on our side.
“ISIS,ISIL-—What’s the difference?”
When the imposter refers to ISIS as ISIL (he and his minions are the only ones to do so), he is using this terminology to direct a jab at Israel.
Words have meanings...remember.
