Quote:Islamic State militants are mounting frequent guerrilla warfare-style attacks around a strategically important Iraqi city that U.S. military officials declared “clear” of enemy forces only five weeks ago.
The militant group, alternatively known as ISIS or ISIL, has not seized any new territory in and around Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province. But an unknown number of militants maintain a presence in the area and regularly conduct attacks, exposing the Iraqi army's inability to keep the area secure.
“It’s a manpower thing. The Iraqis have enough forces to launch these big offenses, but when they go on to the next fight, ISIS comes back. It’s exactly what the Americans used to do before the surge [in 2007], the same kind of problem,” said Joel Wing, an Iraq analyst and author of the blog Musings on Iraq.
