BAGHDAD: A senior Iraqi official claims Al-Qaeda fighters hunkered down in a city they seized late last month west of Baghdad have enough heavy weapons to allegedly take the country's capital.
Senior deputy Interior Minister Adnan al-Asadi said Monday that Iraqi forces are fighting "fierce battles" against heavily armed militants to recapture parts of Ramadi, the capital of the western Anbar province, and also the nearby city of Fallujah.
He says the weapons in Fallujah that are in the hands of Iraq's Al-Qaeda branch and other Sunni militant groups battling the Shiite-led government are "advanced and huge and enough to occupy Baghdad."
He didn't elaborate on the type or quantity of the weapons.
Iraq's government announced on Sunday an all-out military operation to push Al-Qaeda out of Ramadi.

“enough heavy weapons to allegedly take the country’s capital”
I wonder where they got those from.
Calling Mr Putin, hello?
I am certain that al-Qaeda owes a debt of gratitude to Barak Hussein Obama, Hanoi John Kerry, Her Thighness and those worthless bags of shit that support them in this en-devour.
I wonder where they got those from.................. Maybe we should ask Hillary Bin Ghazi ?
Impeachment File for B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a documented legal citizen of the Sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
How many arms, tanks and artillery pieces was it that the Obama Regime decided to leave behind when we abandoned our commitment to the Iraqi People?
If I remember correctly, the Regime decided that it would be far too costly and “too much like work” to bring that gear home.
Nope.
Try looking no further than to Barak Hussein Obama.
He’s got the backs of his pals in al-Qaeda.
Putin would prefer to kill the assholes.
OMG! Seriously?? Bagdad?
My heart was heavy to see us losing Fallujah... but, the entire country?? That would be tragic.
You can hear the other shoe drop when the Taliban retakes kabul
The Obama Doctrine:
“If you have your country,
you can keep your country.”
Let them take it.
If the rest of the Iraqis—who also are armed to the teeth—want to live under a strict fanatical regime, then let them.
They can stop this if they want to.
If not, they can deserve what they get.
I’m guessing they are financed by the Saudi’s at this point. Southern Iraq is just a puppet of Iran. This makes the Saudi’s nervous, so they are supporting the jihadists in Anbar province and in Syria to weaken Irans influence.
“Let them take it.”
Then they will “retake” Kuwait and we will have gone full circle. When I sit here and think of all those fine young men and women whose lives our corrupt politicians have pi$$ed away it tears my heart out. Secondarily, there’s all the money that’s gone too! We might want to consider picking up Israel lock stock and barrel and relocating them to Montana or some other state with a lot of open territory and just let the rag heads have the whole place. I would make it easier to nuke the whole place should that become necessary and personally, I think it will.
We never intended to win. Otherwise there would be no Baghdad to take back. Or an Afghanistan.
They can stop this if they want to.
If not, they can deserve what they get.
If I didn't know any better, I could have sworn you were talking about the US and conservatives.
I was thinking Benghazi..
my favorite nephew a Marine Lieutenant was killed in fighting in Fallujah.
What did he die for?
Apparently to this mooselimb fag ass punk in the White hut,
Nothing.
