General Dempsey in Italy says:
"Using Taqaddum gives us access to more of the tribes that are willing to stand against ISIL," Dempsey said, using an acronym for Islamic State.
Dempsey said he expected Sunni tribes would represent a "holding force" to control territory seized in Anbar and would protect the flanks of the Iraqi security forces as they advance.
He expressed confidence that the latest
deployments to Taqaddum would help advance Iraq's military
campaign against Islamic State, but that the real test was whether Iraq's government could mend a sectarian
rift between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims.
"The game changers are going to have to come from the Iraqi government themselves," he said.
this kind of sounds like bunk. Also, the general rhetoric from fox news, come on you stupid, lazy war weary after twelve years of war widows and widowers, don't run away from a truck bomb controlled by a suicide bomber used to penetrate a heavily defended area. Grotesque beyond bunk. Out of touch.
