Unless gay marriage has been recently legalized in Ramadi the American MSM is not interested.

Obama ran on and won in 08 on getting out of Iraq....How’s that working out for ya? Major Tip Of The Hat to our Libertarian Paleo-Con Isolationist “Friends”. Skilled professionals at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I thought Obama ended the war in Iraq? Why is he still sending in troops to oust the Iraqi government?

Focus on Obama’s Terrible Iraq Blunder
https://www.commentarymagazine.com/2015/05/15/focus-on-obamas-terrible-iraq-blunder-ramadi/
Max Boot 05.15.2015

I remember walking down the ruined streets of Ramadi in the spring of 2007. The vista resembled pictures of Berlin in 1945: ruined buildings everywhere, water bubbling in the streets from water mains damaged by too many explosions. But what was most remarkable was not the evidence of violence but, rather, the fact that no insurgents were shooting at my military escorts or me.

“A few weeks ago you couldn’t drive down this street without being attacked. When I went down this street in February, I was hit three times with small-arms fire and IEDs,” Army Colonel John W. Charlton told me as we drove into town in his up-armored Humvee. But now Ramadi was eerily quiet; by the time I visited in April, not a single American soldier had been killed in Ramadi for weeks. Everywhere there were Joint Security Stations and Observation Posts where American and Iraqi security forces worked side by side to keep the peace.

Ramadi was really where the Anbar Awakening began—the movement, started by Colonel Sean MacFarland in Ramadi in 2006, to mobilize Sunni tribes against AQI. After having lost hundreds of American soldiers in Ramadi and its environs since 2003, US efforts finally appeared to have paid off. AQI had been routed of the capital of its self-proclaimed caliphate, and would soon be routed out of the rest of the Sunni Triangle. Victory was in sight.
