Back to reality yet?


  1. BREAKING: Iraqi forces claim to take parts of Fallujah's city center

  2.  
  3. JUST IN: Iraqi military recaptures center of ISIS-held Fallujah
  4. Iraqi forces retake main government compound in Falluja from Isis



That's a sample of some of this morning's Tweets.

The above does not end the Islamic State.

Even retaking Mosul will not end the Islamic State in Iraq.

For that, you need to address the root causes.

US President Barack Obama, like his puppet Haider al-Abadi, has no desire to address the root causes.

So this will be passed off as "victory" by various idiots  who are both willing to ignore what the 'liberation' actually cost and what is actually needed to destroy the Islamic State in Iraq.

The best thing about Falluja today is that maybe it will allow the vastly limited western press to cover some issues in Iraq other than their rah-rah coverage of the Iraqi military.

Such as:





TV Report 130Sunni mosque destroyed by Shia Militias in Miqdadiya, Diyala




Oh, who am I kidding?

They didn't cover the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq in real time because it wasn't of any interest to them.

Without the military to cover, they'll go back to ignoring Iraq shortly.


Considering the damage their slanted coverage does, that might not be such a bad thing.
