Gen. Paul Funk in a statement.<br /><br />The battle for Hawija lasted 14 days, and ended Thursday with the reported surrender of more than 1,000 dispirited ISIS fighters.<br /><br />The fall of Hawija leaves ISIS in control of only a small sliver of desert in Iraq's Anbar province, a roughly 60-mile corridor from Rawah to Al Qaim, near the Syrian border.<br /><br />"Iraqi Security Forces have taken Hawija city, but there are still areas to the east that must be cleared," U.S. military spokesman Col. Ryan Dillon told the Washington Examiner in an email. "We expect there to be more fighting in the days ahead before calling the end to Hawija operations."<br /><br />The Iraqi forces conducting operations in Western Anbar province and have already secured the towns of Anah, Rayhanah, and Akashat.<br /><br />"I expect that the remaining ISIS fighters will continue to be pushed east until they run into the Kurdish Defensive Line and are killed or captured," Dillon said. "We saw the same in the operations for Tal Afar."....<br /><br />http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/us-congratulates-iraqi-forces-for-routing-isis/article/2636606Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-35772017423942805242017-10-05T18:01:48.255-04:002017-10-05T18:01:48.255-04:00Will those "Old School" Republicans, tho...Will those "Old School" Republicans, those that do not support the trillions in new debt demanded by the <b>Trump Agenda</b> be targeted by the "New GOP"?<br /><br />Jack Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342056653466462640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-7390687118428843082017-10-05T17:54:48.669-04:002017-10-05T17:54:48.669-04:00Rep.
