Quote:
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has vowed to eliminate "all terrorist groups" from Anbar province after al-Qaeda-linked fighters gained control of the town of Fallujah. Maliki, speaking on state television on Saturday, said his government would end "fitna", or disunity, in the province and would "not back down until we end all terrorist groups and save our people in Anbar". His comments came after a senior Iraqi security official told the AFP news agency that the government had lost control of Fallujah to fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The police chief of Anbar, Hadi Razeij, later said the centre of Fallujah had fallen completely into the hands of ISIL fighters. "The walls of the city are in the hands of the police force, but the people of Fallujah are the prisoners of ISIL." Videos showed ISIL fighters also in control of the main Fallujah highway, and officials and witnesses inside the town told the Reuters news agency that ISIL was in northern and northeastern parts of the town.
The ISIL has been tightening its grip in the Sunni-dominated desert province, near the Syrian border, in recent months in its effort to create an Islamic state across the Iraqi-Syrian borders. In Ramadi, the other main city in Anbar, local tribesmen and the Iraqi security forces have worked together to counter the ISIL. But in Fallujah, the Iraqi army has been prevented from entering by local Sunni tribesmen who, despite not supporting al-Qaeda fighters, are opposed to the Shia dominated government of Maliki. Military shelling Al Jazeera's Imran Khan said: "The Iraqi army is on the outskirts of the town, negotiating with tribal leaders to go and fight the ISIL. They need cooperation from the leaders to go in and root out the militants. "The military had a base just outside, from where they were shelling the city. They have withdrawn from that base and the tribal leaders have moved in, claiming a victory, but it isn’t clear yet from the army if it was rather a tactical withdrawal." More than 100 people were killed on Friday during fighting in Fallujah and Ramadi, one of the worst days since violence flared when Iraqi police broke up a Sunni protest camp in Anbar on Monday. The escalating tension shows the civil war in Syria, where mostly Sunni rebels are battling President Bashar al-Assad, who is backed by Shia Iran, is spilling over to other countries such as Iraq, threatening delicate sectarian balances.

No way they are gonna be successful in clearing Anbar of terrorists, whatever that means. Seems like more excuses for senseless Sunni/Shiite violence with western powers funding both sides.

look, if you can't appreciate the history then don't even comment on it. For many years Islam held hugely powerful empires. And yes we can see where their warlike origins have led them in today's society. But don't discount the awesomeness of their past.

what have we learned, replacing critical thinking and logic with radical religious dogma is a recipe for disaster. You think if they were so god damn smart they would have observed Europe and learned its lessons

Al Qaeda is largely religious/political motivated terrorists, whereas Taliban are just narco/political motivated thugs. All scum, but you have to know all species and motivation of said scum. Know your enemy know yourself

When you give a crack whore more crack you become part of the problem. You know who else I blame? Condi, Rummy, the New York Times, the CIA, the U.S. Congress, the Senate, and anyone who voted to re-elect any of those people.

Well there was kinda that whole Sykes-Picot Agreement thing, when the west carved up the former Ottoman Empire. A lot of people would say this is one of the major reasons the middle east is so unstable.
So it wasn't exactly America, but you can't really say the west had nothing to do with it.....
