Ramadi...center of the world in the war against ISIS in Iraq. Ramadi lies 100 km from Baghdad and was captured by ISIS forces in May. Since then it has been a sore spot for coalition forces and a tremendous advertising tool for the Islamic State in it's recruitment.
The Iraqi army announced this weekend that they have in fact liberated Ramadi..the capital of Anbar province. This is without a doubt the most significant military operation conducted by the Iraqis in the war against ISIS. The greatest victory to date. The next step in a very long campaign will be to generate enough forces to capture Mosul from ISIS control on the road to a complete removal of ISIS from the country.
