today. first, what do you make of the prediction we heard from iraqi officials that they predict that ramadi was going to be cleared by the end of the week. >> the iraqi government made predictions that never pan out for pretty much the bulk of this. ramadi was going to fall within days or hours for the last three months. it is true they have made a concerted push. my concern is two-fold. what isis has done to the city. the entire thing is a geographical coffin. >> this fresh video, you can't even tell it's a city any longer. >> a moon skap essentially. it looks like the worst carnage we have seen in syria. similar to when the u.s. was at war in iraq. cities were completely levelled. the second concern i have, and we have been talking a lot on air about who is doing the fighting on behalf of baghdad. it's mostly iraqi security forces. there are incredible units.
