Iran’s going to have to step it up and retake Ramadi, but this will seal Iran’s hold on Iraq... which I’m sure will make Obama smile.
The Iranians and their pals screwed up badly in Tikrit. After much fanfare they failed and had to be bailed out.
They took their marbles and went home.
Theres no way they are going to risk some high profile effort to take back Ramadi. They know they will just humiliate themselves again.
They are doing very badly vs ISIS in Syria too.
Iran is stretched beyond its means already in Syria. They have apparently now been forcing Afghan prisoners to choose between death penalty and frontline duty in Syria. This whole thing is a fiasco, and killing some bookworm in Raqaa is not the achievement Obama makes out.
Our policy should be whenever ISIS takes over a major building or facility, we blow the shit out of it. Buildings can be replaced, but their soldiers and weapons, not so far.
We must use massive air power to level certain areas (esp. of the civilians have fled), to show ISIS that we will hit them no matter where they are, and when we want to.
Now this is all predicated on the US having a real military leader not the commie in the White House or the recent disasterous JCS led by Gen. the Coward Dempsey, and the drag queens in the Air Farce and U.S. Naval (with all the gender crap going on, we no long have a real Navy leadership).
