Odds & Ends.....
Slowly but surely , ISIS perch in West Mosul being reduced...
Syria.....
ISIS convoy of 32 vehicles attempting to flee Raqqa for Palmyra intercepted by RAF...
But what if the Syrian Gov simply wants to re-open the Tanf highway to Baghdad. One of Syria's most important trade routes?
What if the United States is not trying to cement a north-south "Sunni axis" from the Gulf states and Jordan to Turkey? A crazy idea, btw.
The road from Baghdad to Amman hasn't been reopened
Syrian Arab Army capture more areas in Syrian desert while FSA/VSO continue to harass SAA&allies attempting to push from Sweida towards Tanf
