Did they find anybody still alive in Fallujah?
How come they did not refer to it as “ISIL”?
I am sure it’s Bush’s fault but can somebody direct me to an updated source explaining that.
Will citizens of Fallujah be able to get a discount/credit bribes they were forced to give ISIS when Iraqi officials come for theirs?
Fallujah hasn’t been recaptured; not even the WSJ‘s headline makes that claim. A government building has been captured and held long enough to run up a flag. That implies a penetration, nothing more.
The JOC’s remarks, in that same article, make the situation clear:
“We hope within the next few days to cleanse the whole of Fallujah from Daesh militants,” said Brig. Yahya Rasool [JOC spokesman]
The city hasn’t been captured until it’s all under control. And in the present case, disinfected.

Good luck with that. I’m pretty sure that doesn’t even work in Chicago.
