Leaders in Iraq's western Anbar province appealed Saturday for help from U.S. forces on the ground to halt the relentless advance of ISIS fighters.
The situation in the province, just to the west of Baghdad, is "very bad," the president of Anbar Provincial Council told CNN by phone on Saturday.

Considering the on-and-off nature of the U.S. and coalition air strikes and the general performance of Iraq's armed forces in combat with ISIS, this appeal should not be too surprising.

**** them, they can send their own troops out there!
When they start paying US taxes then perhaps that request will get due consideration.
They have been.....but they have been getting their asses kicked. So they are not up to completing the job.

Well they've been running away a little too, don't forget that. Plus, this is not a US fight, despite the fact the US has stuck its arrogant nose into it for decades, and even the Iraqi army is likely divided on sectarian lines. Get the hell out, and stay out!
Mornin Ttwtt. :2wave: ISIS still has to be dealt with.....as there is no negotiating with them. Unlike Iraq and others.
That is my point - you say that we can negotiate with Iraq yet we have not set e "fair' price for coming to their defense - instead we choose pay for the privilege of coming to their aid.
