The effort to defeat jihad is not going well

Expanding the caliphate:

Baghdad (AFP) - Islamic State fighters took over the main government compound in the western Iraqi city of Ramadi on Friday, giving them nearly full control over Anbar's provincial capital, the group and officials said.

The jihadists seized the government complex at around 2:00 pm (1100 GMT) and raised the IS's black flag, capping an offensive launched on Thursday, a police officer said.

Yessir, that business of pulling out of Iraq without a Status of Forces Agreement was a dandy idea.
