A spokesman for the governor of Iraq's Anbar province said Monday that about 500 people — both civilians and Iraqi soldiers — are estimated to have been killed over the past few days as the city of Ramadi fell to the Islamic State group.
The estimates follow a shocking defeat as Islamic State seized control of the Anbar provincial capital on Sunday, sending Iraqi forces fleeing in a major loss despite the support of U.S.-led airstrikes targeting the extremists.
Bodies, some burned, littered the streets as local officials reported the militants carried out mass killings of Iraqi security forces and civilians. Online video showed Humvees, trucks and other equipment speeding out of Ramadi, with soldiers gripping onto their sides.

Wonder how much US taxpayer money went into it.
On the enemy side.
More blood on obama’s hands. And no country will trust the USA for the foreseeable future.
Obama created, sustained, and promotes ISIS.
But don’t worry, they’re the JV Team.
Obama owns it all.
>> And no country will trust the USA for the foreseeable future.
Well, the dumb #s were euphoric for the One.
If ISIS were 50 miles away from DC after defeating the entire American military John Kerry would say “I am confident DC won’t fall”
In fact, correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t John Kerry spout off that Ramadi would never be taken by ISIS, that they were too weak now because of the “coalition?”
What coalition? What news coverage of these bastards being bombed? What news of the great coalition to stop ISIS? There isn’t any. Because it’s all a big lie to cover up zeros massive failure with his foreign policy.
—fleeing in a major loss despite the support of U.S.-led airstrikes targeting the extremists.—
I doubt these ‘airstrikes’ were targeting anything meaningful. Not if Valerie had anything to do with it.
One would think that with the ease of ISIS taking Ramadi they’ll take it global this summer. All those “refugees” in Europe and the US....
ISIS will take over Iraq then Iran will come in and kick ISIS out and take over Iraq.
Thanks Dubya for getting rid of the guy who kept Iran occupied with war and kept Iraq secular.
His attitude makes me want to puke. Its no biggie to him. How about to the thousands of innocents killed during this year long siege? Think it is a big deal to their families?
As long as there is a Democrat Party no country on the earth can trust America.
Pray America is waking
I didn’t realize that the iraquis were french.
