America and Iran to join forces in counter-attack on Ramadi
The Telegraph ^ | 18 May 2015 | Richard Spencer

America and Iran on Monday took another step towards direct military co-operation in Iraq as pro-government forces prepared a counter-attack to retake the key western city of Ramadi.

Iran’s defence minister, Hossein Dehghan, flew into Baghdad for talks with the government after the Iraqi army fled from a concerted attack by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on Ramadi, the capital of the majority-Sunni Anbar province.

So will the American military be training Iran on American military tactics?

Perhaps give Iran the weapons they need to perform their part of the job?

When a group of Americans are pinned down, will Iran side with other muslims or the great satan?

This is insane. Under what authority is Obama allowed to do this???

>>Welfare.............probably more right than you intended..................

Well, the only reason ISIS is fighting is because they’re unemployed and need us to give them benefits.

Ramadi is lost. It doesn’t do any good to counter-attack the same lost ground. You’re better off trying to split ISIS by attacking another occupied city or province. Now they have plenty of time to booby-trap the entire city with anticipation of another urban brawl.

Are we sending our “JV Team” to fight their “JV Team”?

Of course we will

It’s sort of an American tradition at this point, arming and training our enemies. It’s like Thanksgiving .. (and we are the turkey).

The inhabits will be beheaded, so why not simply carpet bomb the place and start over. :-)

Retake the city? Retake? There is so much wrong with this where to start.

First, the Iraqi army shouldn't run and abandon civilians like a bunch of cowards. Second, you honestly think we didn't "see" Isis headed there? C130's anyone? Now we want to do something after the people have had to flee for their lives and God knows how many people slaughtered? OMG I could keep going but what's the point.

Only under the leadership of Obama does the US undertake operations to "counter attack" and "retake" only days after taking a pass on defending the city. I suppose the President's idea is to let the Shia militia move in and retake the city.

Ironically, he’s uniting Israel and her Arab neighbors...against him.

His behavior is consistently against America, UK, Christians, Jews, and pretty much against the Egyptian/ Jordanian/ Saudi versions of Islam, too — preferring whenever he can the more obviously violent Moslems like his islamonazi pals in Iran, Moslem brotherhood, Hamas, Palie “authority” hezbellah and other terrorist groups. If two Moslems face off. O is always backing the more violent rabid one — and backstabbing the less Islamonazi one
