"...this is the man in charge of helping the Iraqis reclaim the city."

How about showing the Colonel some respect by mentioning his name & rank?

Til this day I just cannot understand how they managed to leave a base of stuff behind. To this day I question the Iraqi army.
"Oh no! A bunch of unarmored men with wooden guns! Quick! We must leave behind the tanks, rockets, artillery, and other stuff that can solve this in like 5 minutes!"

When the fighting is over the lives of the civilians are still fucked. No food, no home, no job, no help. That's the way we left them, only to return and ressurect their path through purgatory.

[davidsmart]

"US-led air strikes"??? (inferring the US stopped our ally, Turkey, from conducting 'oil business' with IS).
Were they the air strikes AFTER the Russians did most of the work?
The BBC's sophistry is outrageous...and we pay for it!
