There are about 100 Koran-clutching terrorists as the Iraqi forces move within a mile of their position and the going is slow in spite of the larger size coalition forces. The land is filled with landmines and IED, and the dwellings they've come across are often booby-trapped.
"Our preparations to attack the government compound are still on and we are approaching step-by-step," Brig. Gen. Ahmed al-Bilawi said. He is the commander of the Anbar province emergency police division and has not received public opposition from any Iraqi "Black Lives Matter" protesters.
The U.S. is leading the airstrike campaign as the Iraqis began a new push at the beginning of the week.
On another happy note, U.S.-backed rebels in Syria comprised of a coalition of Syrian Kurdish, as well as Arabs and Christians, captured a major dam on the Euphrates River north of Islamic State's position.
The coalition is called the Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), but I doubt that any American Democrat is among the fighters. The group seized the Tishrin Dam today which will cut off supply lines between ISIS strongholds in northern Syria.
Unlike the orders given by the Obama administration, the SDF did not forewarn the scumcrumpets of ISIS that they were coming to take the dam from them, like Obama warned the ISIS oil truck drivers before we blew up their vehicles as they were on their way to juice up Assad.
The dam supplies most of northern Syria with electricity which ISIS doesn't really need as they are still living in the Seventh Century.
The SDF is dominated by Kurdish militia (aka People's Protection Units, aka YPG), in its fight against ISIS but we have yet to supply them directly with arms.
