Most Iraqi troops have abandoned their positions in Ramadi as Islamic State militants have advanced further into the city, officials have told the BBC.
They said IS militants had taken control of a compound that was used as the provincial military command centre.

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.
If I was Assad I’d use everything I had. And that includes chemicals.
Just wait till they start moving into Saudi Arabia. Even more barren than Iraq, which means huge territory can be captured by conquering a couple of villages. Plus, they’re already struggling against the Houthis
CNN is the Communist News Network. Everything they say is lies.
He is, but he has internal problems now too. There was an attempted coup, a vicious street beating of one of his generals, and a top minister has been put under house arrest for co-ordinating with Turkey.
True. But, sadly Fox News only plays pre-recorded stuff on weekends and doesn’t do current news... I wish they would step it up in that regard.
have to believe this is part of the turkish bird dog of murder of Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi .... zer0 and hillary owning a skerry ...
The American taxpayers ... check it out ... all the equipment, isis uses, was paid for by American taxpayers ... and this is not a lie!
if we become technical some of the equipment was also paid for by qatar and saudis ...
if we are going to raise ‘hell’ it would appear we would select ‘hillary’
dang ... if it has to be a ‘black dress’ may as well be a burka to hide in!
operation ‘white rabbit’ on ‘stand-by’
Bush took Ramadi while Obama the loser lost it twice.
Iraq was in good shape under Bush’s watch.

Then ... there was the opportunity to take out ISIS while they were marching in the desert but Obama wouldn’t do anything.
Obama owns this mess.
no problem. obama kidnapped some dude’s wife last night, so it’s all good
The “JV” takes land hard fought by American warriors. Obama is the worst -resident ever.
Spit.
When will the media ask @BarackObama & @HillaryClinton key question for 2016- Knowing what we know now, would you still have abandoned Iraq? - Liz Cheney
“If I knew Obama was going to just hand Iraq back to Iran or other radical Islamists I suppose I wouldn’t have tried to help it become a Democracy after liberating it either”.
The Iraqi army is utterly useless. They outnumber them what, 30:1 and rout before they even arrive?
This has to be the worst allied force we’ve ever had. People bashed ARVN back in the day, but they actually fought a real army until they ran out of supplies.
The Iraqis just run away leaving their supplies for ISIS to take.
