WHO IS TO BLAME For The Fall Of Ramadi? Joe Biden Trying To "Make Up" With Iraq And Iran For Ash Carter's Remarks.

Who is to blame for the fall of Ramadi?

Ash Carter said the Iraqis were unwilling to fight.

Iran says the US did not do a damn thing.

Iraq is furious at Carter's remarks.

Biden has been appointed to patch the whole thing up.

Meanwhile...IS is in control of Ramadi.

The heated exchanges came after the loss of Ramadi and amid other gains by the Islamic State in recent days. The statements laid bare fissures among countries that have become allies of convenience against the militants. The criticism from both Iraq and Iran began when Carter told CNN's "State of the Union" that Iraqi forces "vastly outnumbered" the Islamic State group but still "showed no will to fight" and fled the Islamic State's advance on the capital of Anbar province.

On Monday, Saad al-Hadithi, a spokesman for al-Abadi, said his government was surprised by Carter's comments.

"We should not judge the whole army based on one incident," al-Hadithi told The Associated Press.

Al-Hadithi said the Iraqi government thinks the fall of Ramadi was due to mismanagement and poor planning by some senior military commanders in charge. However, he did not elaborate, and no action has been taken against those commanders.

In Iran, the daily newspaper Javan, which is seen as close to the Revolutionary Guard, quoted Soleimani as saying the U.S. didn't do a "damn thing" to stop the extremists' advance on Ramadi.

Hard to assess. Seems the Iraqi Army has a history of running from these guys. They have done this from the start. Maybe they are just there for a paycheck.

I think you are right about the paycheck.

Iraq has no private sector, so they all have to work for the government.

The US hasn't done jack shit. If they can't help then they should get the hell out of Iraq.
