Despite the obvious seriousness of losing the capital of Iraq’s largest province, US officials are desperately trying to portray it as simply a “minor setback.”
“To read too much into this single fight is simply a mistake,” insisted Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren, saying it just means they “have to go back and retake Ramadi.”
Secretary of State John Kerry also insisted he remains “confident” in the US war strategy against ISIS, and predicted Ramadi would be retaken in the coming days.
Pentagon officials reiterated that despite this loss, they won’t actually be changing their policy in the ISIS war in Iraq, which so far has involved open-ended airstrikes.
Take this and all other assessments, ideas, forecasts and etc, as prolonging the war created by Saudis, Israel for Wahhabis ideology.
The awful truth is that the US minimises the importance of actions against ISIS and its own military performance against ISIS borders on the pathetically ineffective. Conclusion: ISIS is , for the US and Israel, the dog in the yard, designed to frighten the neighbours. But it's broken its leash and has got into the house, smashing the furniture and savaging the family. However, they don't really want it put down… so delaying tactics, muddying waters, ineffective action against ISIS etc. All in accord with the Israeli Oded Yinon strategy to turn the Middle East into chaos.
The only (victory) Mr. Kerry alludes to is for his war profiteers who
made a bundle off this disaster. The (losers), as always, are the
Iraqi people, who have been slaughtered, and the common USG taxpayer
who will eventually have to pick up the bill for this 12 year debacle.
"..in the coming days…"
Is that in the same time frame as the training of the "vetted" rebels in Syria?
Imagine how Iraqi's long for the days when we weren't liberating them. Man, we are a disgusting s**thole.
