The Islamic State in Ramadi

Though it could be interpreted as having a pro-US intervention spin on it, this brave reporting by David Enders is still very valuable. And the calls for intervention by the Iraqis should be taken only as a measure of their desperation in their fight against the Islamic State, rather than a true call for intervention by the reporter passing on their wishes.

I’m trying to see if I can get David back on the show sometime this week.
