"BAGHDAD (AP) — The contested city of Ramadi fell to the Islamic State group on Sunday, as Iraqi forces abandoned their weapons and armored vehicles to flee the provincial capital in a major loss despite intensified U.S.-led airstrikes.
Bodies, some burned, littered the streets as local officials reported the militants carried out mass killings of Iraqi security forces and civilians. Online video showed Humvees, trucks and other equipment speeding out of Ramadi, with soldiers gripping onto their sides.
"Ramadi has fallen," said Muhannad Haimour, a spokesman for the governor of Anbar province. "The city was completely taken. ... The military is fleeing."

Its a pretty long article read if curious.

Theres really no one to contest them on the ground right now. The iraqui military is doing horribly. I say let Japan reinterpret article 9 and let them go to war with ISIS. They're the only country thats willing to do so.

How expected. Iraqi ground forces are notorious for dropping their weapons and fleeing.

Yup, they better start paying their militants wages or else they can kiss their dream of creating an "Islamic Caliphate" goodbye.

ISIS is gaining ground merely because they have fools and still more fools coming in to fight for their 'great' cause. However, it has already been confirmed they have absolutely no infrastructure at all in the regions they control. It's a hellhole. ISIS will fall apart one day, even if it takes a long time. How exactly? That we'll have to see but they will probably still do quite a lot of damage by then.

The ISIS are just a bunch of savages. They know they are fighting a lost war, yet they keep going, keep killing innocent people and sacrificing soldiers, just to destroy cities and kill people who do not follow their stupid beliefs.

plenty of wars have been started by a bunch of savages in the past. People do ill to underestimate them because of our evolved sensibilities. When the savages knock down the doors to a civilized city I know who my moneys on when it comes to a business man vs a religious fanatic with a gun.

Well we have our liberal citizens to thank for that, after all the unrest the Iraq war gave to the registered young student voters who wanted America out of Iraq they're now far more hesitant to throw themselves back into another middle eastern conflict and are doing exactly what the public wanted. To let countries save themselves.

Ideally never?
But it's too late for that anyway.
Plenty of European countries have already been fucking around with ISIS.
Just because you only read American news doesn't mean America is the only country on the planet doing anything.

Generalization much?

I try my best to keep up with world news, and I know there are others doing air strikes.

But until Europe gets serious about this, I don't see much of anything changing.

That's a shame considering I watched a Warrior POV history channel episode about what it took for American forces to win that area over and it was utter hell dealing with all of the soldiers jacked up on drugs and going suicidal.
