Major Defeat for Daesh in Iraq - War on Terror

BBC News: Reports " Iraq declares Ramadi liberated from Islamic State "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good start by the Baghdad government, but it is still going to be a long fight, the retaking of Mosul will be hard, the Daesh terrorists have had the time to build up their defences and cause delay due to the placement of IED's.  It can be taken for granted that Western Special Forces have had a part in this victory.   This blog still argues that it will need Western combat troops to finish off Daesh in Iraq and Syria, the terrorists do not play by Western rules, thus their need to get the West to place troops in Iraq and Syria and for Daesh to capture them, with that in mind, it should only be Special Forces troops that are used, as there will be tough fighting.   The War in not over, but the end might be in sight. 

Husbands of River Song - Doctor Who Review

Doctor Who News: Reports " 5.77 million viewers watched the christmas special, Doctor Who: The Husbands of River Song, according to unofficial overnight viewing figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

It has been a few days since the Christmas episode, and this Doctor Who fan can still recall the show from start to finish, it was fun, out loud fun, when the Doctor acted as if he had never been in to the Tardis before, River didn't pick that up, then we have the fun on the space ship, also serious, when River said that the Doctor could not love, if it one thing you can say about that is she is wrong, one can state that the Doctor loves his other half.  Then we get sadness at the end, but also hope, the message being that you should enjoy your happy times, they will not come around again, so make the most of it, even if a date on the planet that the Doctor had taken River lasts for 24 years.   If you watch only one episode of Doctor Who  this year, watch the Husbands of River Song and smile.
