IS Update - IS LOSES Baiji' - War on Terror 2

BBC News: Reports " Iraqi officials say their forces have driven out Islamic State (IS) fighters from the oil refinery town of Baiji, 200km (130 miles) north of Baghdad. "

Lets Get Real:

This is good news on the PR front and military front, it shows that the new Iraqi forces with the air cover of the US can push IS back, also it means that IS has less money coming in from selling oil on the black market.   The question is it a REAL success will come IF Western reporters are allowed to visit the town and oil production area.   This is a good news for the Obama plan of using air power with the Iraqi or Kurds doing the fighting.   Lets hope we see more progress this year.
