Joel---so we have a lightly meaning rather low number of fighters forcing a northern front fight ---we have the Shia and Shia militia in a layered defense (actually in a circle) of Samarra/Salalladin, and nothing really much going on in Buqubah/Diyala and silence in and around Baghdad.
The dam still under their control and the IS pushing into more towns--and oil fields.
So we see the good ole whip lash strategy used against us being used against the ISF with the same effective.
So what does it tell us about the IS strategy that is not being talked about?
And that does not include the slow but steady push back of recent gains made by the Assad army.
