The Iraqis said that yesterday, and they hadn’t done it.
Who is funding ISIS? It’s obviously very powerful, very well trained (mostly by the US, since a lot of them are people we trained or to whom we revealed secrets in the new, improved military) and has a lot of media savvy.

SKY NEWS: Iraq Forces ‘Retake’ What is left of the Oil Refinery From ISIS
Isn’t the flag still flying over it? Sounds like propaganda
If there has been actual “heavy fighting” at a petroleum refinery, then it will likely have to shut down for long term repairs. One rifle bullet in the wrong place can send the whole facility up. I shudder to think what a couple of dozen RPGs, mortar rounds, and several thousand rounds of machine gun/rifle fire could do.
US/UK Spec Ops no doubt. The Iraqi “Army” has more or less dissolved in the face of only a relatively few jihadis.
