Twilight News / "We're about to see how training success of the US military in Iraq," where the correspondent of the newspaper "USA Today" Jim Michaels official in the international coalition reported that trained and backed by the United States and the Iraqi security forces are preparing to launch a final offensive on the Sunni city of Ramadi.
The newspaper described the attack as "the first major test of forces trained by the Americans against al-Islamic state", a terrorist group (also known as the names of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, and Daash).
In turn, described the Pentagon spokeswoman military operation that "progress is slow and methodical and thoughtful of the city", located about 80 miles west of Baghdad.
And it will participate in the process about 10,000 troops, 3,000 of whom were trained by the United States, according to the newspaper "USA Today", is likely to be higher than many of Iraqi forces to Daash fighters, but it is unclear how it is exactly the number of insurgents based in the city.
The Daash forces seized control of Ramadi in May, gunmen holed themselves and, since then, Aelloukah within the city, about 80 miles from Baghdad. Shiite militias backed by Iran to restore gray has planned shortly after the crash, but Daash is still in control of the city.
Ramadi fell after the militants overran the city Daash car bombs driven by suicide bombers, despite the numerical superiority of Iraqi soldiers, where the Sunni terrorist group is still able to control the city fled when troops were protected.
Today, after Daash spread across the gray, it can be difficult to defeat him.
The newspaper pointed out that although they are superior them numerically, but the defensive position of the militants would provide special status for them, where they can fire from bunkers and other places hidden, and that it would be difficult for the coalition forces bombed the militants who can hide in the city's urban areas.
The loss of gray for the benefit of terrorists has had a deep impact in all parts of Iraq, where many Sunni residents of Ramadi, who tried to flee the city deported upon arrival to Baghdad, although some Sunni support Daash reluctantly in order to maintain their lives because they feel as if all other options We ran out for them.
The success in Ramadi, Iraq Kkl- In what continues to be difficult to be guaranteed.
Wrote Michael Knights, an analyst in Iraqi affairs, the newspaper Alforn Pulse this week that the war against Daash in Iraq has "slowed down".
The Knights "The best that can reasonably be expected in the year 2015 is to achieve stability in the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah," he said, adding that "no one is even talking about the liberation of Mosul, Iraq's second city in terms of population."
Mosul is the stronghold of President Daash in Iraq, and was on top of the priorities of the American plan to defeat Daash.
Natis also wrote that "at this rate, the United States will still remain in Iraq when President Barack Obama leaves office, the result which does not want any one, especially the president."
With the contraction of the US presence in Iraq and strict restrictions on what the American forces are allowed to stay, it will be difficult for the troops to make rapid progress against Daash. American training and armament program has been slow to move forward, and that air strikes have had limited impact because of the absence of observers on the ground, along with the strict rules of engagement.
Fellow Brookings Institution Charles Lester has written a negative evaluation similar recently on the war on Daash. Lester pointed out that "the progress so far and what can be best described as a series of tactical gains associated loosely, rather than a major strategic progress."
Lester explained that "the objective of the declared alliance is" understated and the destruction of "the organization of the Islamic state as an organization armed, but remain as a military force effective and able to seize the important land and causing extensive material damage in the opponents' .. The organization of the Islamic state is a tenacious enemy clearly, and is a threat strong terms that the current coalition strategy now fail to "discredit and defeat" organization effectively.
