chattels: Kirk H. Sowell ‏@UticaRisk And the humanitarian situation around Fallujah is dire. That whole are will likely be secured/strangled by militia checkpoints indefinitely.
 
chattels: Kirk H. Sowell ‏@UticaRisk Govt-aligned forces outnumbered jihadists probably 20-1 or more. We count 16 separate Shia militias. It wasn't a well-organized offensive.
 
chattels: Hayder Al-Shakeri Retweeted Sohaib Alrawi ‏@Sohaib_Alrawi 3h3 hours ago #Fallujah is liberated. #DAESH is rapidly collapsing. We must now focus our efforts on a major humanitarian catastrophe still unfolding.

chattels: He must not be reading or believing the hype from the gurus in " dinarland ", eh ?
 
chattels: In any event I am pleased that the fight in Fallujah has proven to be less murderous to date than many thought it would be. God save the Iraqi people. They deserve better than what they have got from " democracy " thus far.
 
waldowould: ‹@chattels› true democracy is not the problem, it is their interpretation of democracy
 
waldowould: That is the problem
