Summary:
-Stalemate in Sinjar
-Stalemate in Bajji
-Siege of fallujah
-Siege of Ramadi
.........
Then reports on attempted ISIS offensives in Samarra and Baghad, but they have no presence anywhere near either. Does not make sense.

Stalemate on all fronts. Minimum casualties. IS continuing suicide attacks while Iraqi forces continue artillery, missiles and airstrikes against IS positions.

not all shia militias are the same. there are huge differences between groups sometimes.
showing an image of shia militia is bit stupid when not explaining what it is about.
this one is made after the call of al sistani and is totally under supervision of Iraqi army
it is not like bad groups like moqtada al sad
as said al sistani they are there to fight ISIS and not here to stay / keep power . they just are volunteers to help. and all the need is necessary. (since nobody is helping much the Iraqis)

Obama says fight against Islamic State group will take time
UNITED NATIONS — President Obama on Tuesday pledged all possible tools — military, intelligence and economic — to defeat the Islamic State group, but acknowledged the extremist group has taken root in Syria and Iraq, is resilient and continues to expand.
Obama spoke as chairman of a U.N. gathering of world leaders working to expand the battle against terrorism, a day after he and the leaders of Russia, China and Iran addressed the General Assembly on its 70th anniversary. The fight against terrorism, particularly in Syria, has seized the attention of top officials, but there has been no overall agreement on how to end the conflict there.
"I have repeatedly said that our approach will take time. This is not an easy task," Obama cautioned, while adding that he was "ultimately optimistic" the brutal organization would be defeated.
"This is a long-term campaign — not only against this particular network, but against its ideology," he said.
The Islamic State is attracting fighters from around the world, prompting fears they will return to their home countries to launch attacks. And the fight has been complicated by a Russian military buildup in Syria in support of President Bashar Assad. Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested Monday that Russia could launch airstrikes against the militants in Syria, if sanctioned by the United Nations or requested by Damascus.
Obama and Putin are at odds over Russian involvement because Washington has said Assad must be removed from power. Obama and Putin laid out competing visions for Syria during their speeches to the opening meeting of the annual U.N. General Assembly on Monday.
Obama reiterated Tuesday that defeating IS requires "a new (Syrian) leader and an inclusive government that united the Syrian people in the fight against terrorist groups."
Reflecting the divide, an official with the Russian delegation said Moscow would take part in the Obama-led event only by a lower-level official, U.N. deputy ambassador Evgeny Zagaynov. Russia on Wednesday will chair its own meeting on countering extremism as this month's U.N. Security Council president.
One by one, speakers at Tuesday's meeting spoke of the need to confront the extremism which Jordan's King Abdullah II described as the "greatest collective threat of our time."
United Nations Secretary General Ban ki-Moon said the U.N.'s most recent data shows a 70 percent increase in foreign terrorist fighters from over 100 countries to regions in conflict. He said security-focused counterterrorism measures are crucial but stressed the need to go beyond, including making a special effort to reach young people.
"Social media is central. We need to offer a counter-weight to the siren songs that promise adventure, but deliver horror — and that promise meaning, but create more misery," he said.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu used the opportunity to highlight his government's fight against rebels of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, saying "there is no difference between the Islamic State group and the PKK."
"One terrorist fighting the other will not legitimize it," he said.
