chattels: ‹@Donnie› " dueling news reports " :)

Donnie: :)

chattels: " parry and thrust " :)

chattels: Pro-government security forces have launched a multi-pronged attack to retake Ramadi, tightening the military blockade around the city and setting the stage for a deeper assault.

chattels: In the ensuing operation, which began early Tuesday morning, pro-government forces backed by U.S. air power have attacked IS-held positions leading to all of the city's entry points - north, east, and west. They have been able to clear and hold territory, and IS supply lines into the city appear to be cut.

chattels: Capt. Mousa Ismail, an officer with the 7th Iraqi Army Division involved in the Ramadi assault, said advancing soldiers had been able to hold territory largely due to the effectiveness of engineering units, which were defusing the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) left by retreating IS fighters. In the past, such booby traps have typically caused heavy casualties and prevented pro-government forces from advancing and securing territory swiftly. "Now there is an intention to set up a quick plan to enter the city of Ramadi," Ismail said.

chattels: Although the recent gains around the city have provided reasons for optimism, pro-government forces have not yet crossed bridges and passed other key choke points still controlled by IS militants, who seem likely to fight more tenaciously than IS fighters in the surrounding areas who had an avenue of retreat to the city center.

chattels: The recent operation has seen pro-government forces regain territory they have not held since May. That progress appears to bear the imprint of significant U.S. military planning, featuring coordinated action by a number of different forces operating out of multiple bases.

chattels: "This has had a great impact on the soldiers' morale."

chattels: After a summer of relative stalemate, the Shia militias began to withdraw from Ramadi in August. (They are still fighting around Fallujah.) The impetus for their withdrawal was never announced, but several security officials speculated there was a secret agreement struck between the Iraqi and U.S. governments and Shia militia leaders.

chattels: "What I have seen over the past few days was unbelievable," said a local police officer stationed at Habbaniya, also speaking in mid-September. "A great number of American armored vehicles and Abrams tanks arrived inside the base, as well as Apache helicopters. And a large force participated in reconnaissance with deployments west of Fallujah and east of Ramadi."

 chattels: Even if the build-up of forces around Ramadi does not lead to a quick victory, it does appear to be choking off the flow of basic goods and other supplies and putting pressure on the IS group.
