ISIS Prepping Large New Offensive As Baghdad Burns

Even more bad news coming out of Iraq at this hour. ISIS has lost some ground to the Kurds but is poised to take much more from the Arabs.

#Iraq: the #IS in on the offensive again, they managed to capture Awenat (south of #Tikrit) and advance all the way down to Mukayshfah

#Iraq: the #IS is massing near Haditha, planning to take the town, I expect a big offensive to capture remaining government areas of #Anbar
