IS Update - Iraq - The New War on Terror


Lets Get Real:

This training by the US forces will take time, the very new Iraqi Army has to learn to walk before it can run, there have been reports that the Baghdad Government want to take the fight to Mosul.   As stated by this blog that is not a great idea, as of the moment the new Iraqi Army is getting good PR with its small victories, it can not afford to give that PR value away in a rush to take major towns and cities.   In close combat the Iraqi Army will not have the air support of the US Air Forces, as the Oval Office would not want to see images of innocent people getting killed by US air attacks.   This new war on terror will last in to the next administration, there is no rush, IS can be defeated but it will take time.
