Iraq's Army finally took the fight to ISIS
The Iraq's army declared victory over Islamic state fighters in a provincial capital West of Baghdad on Sunday. The first major triumph for the US-trained force since it collapsed in the face of an assault by the militants 18months ago.
This effort by the Iraq's army deprives the Islamic state militants of their biggest prize of 2015. The fighters seized it in May, after government troops fled in a defeat which prompted Washington to take hard look at strategy in its on going air war against the militants.
