Key Iraqi city falls to ISIS as defenders retreat

The fall of Ramadi dealt a blow to Iraq’s U.S.-backed government and its military campaign to drive the extremist group out of the war-torn country.

ISIS now holds both Mosul and Ramadi. Iraq is falling apart faster than even pessimistic projections. My concern is that the fundamental situation is far worse than anyone is admitting.

Time to rethink and change tactics.
