Al Qaeda Seizes Fallujah and Ramadi, Assaulting Baghdad

This past month al Qaeda forces linked to al-Baghdadi's ISI (Al Qaeda in Iraq and Syria) seized fallujah (35 miles from Baghdad) and Ramadi.

We have sent in drones and weapons to help Malikis government but have refused to send our troops back in. We have entertained the idea of training Iraqi special forces in Jordan.

Baghdadi has essentially started an inner al Qaeda civil war in Syria. He is now fighting the Al nausea Front in northern Syria. He is hoping to connect the land he holds in Syria with the land he just seized in Iraq.
Baghdadi probably overplayed his hand though when he killed the leader of the Oslamic Foghting Group last month.

Baghdad seriously might fall to al Qaeda
