[quote]TAL AFAR, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraqi forces raised the national flag on Saturday in the heart of Tal Afar, Islamic State’s stronghold in the country’s northwest, and said they were poised to take full control of the city after a week-long offensive. Tal Afar is the latest objective in the U.S.-backed war on the jihadist group following the recapture in July of Mosul, where it declared its self-proclaimed caliphate over parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014. Tal Afar was cut off from the rest of IS-held territory in June and the campaign to recapture it started on Aug. 20, when up to 2,000 militants were believed to be defending it against around 50,000 attackers, according to western military sources. “Tal Afar city is about to fall completely into the hands of our forces, only five percent remains” under Islamic State control, an Iraqi military spokesman told Reuters.[/quote] [url]https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-iraq-tal-afar-idUSKCN1B608R?il=0[/url]
Get fucked daesh
Send 'em all back to hell.
Ok so this is great and all but I just realized this means Trump will at some point in the future take credit for the defeat of ISIS.

Still very curious to see what the outcome of post ISIS Iraq and Syria would be like. Obviously the civil war will not just end, both sides will just consolidate and continue fighting. Iraq will have an extremely touchy situation with the Kurds.
