a solid, secure government that takes care of all the people is the most important thing to use to defeat isis. interesting. and iraqi military commanders predict the complete recapture of ramadi in the coming days. do you think that s realistic? i ve been in situations before with some of the iraqi military claiming quick victories, not yet. i would say based on what i know about the city, based on what i know about how isis fights, there is still going to be many tough days ahead. you not only have to beat these vngs militarily, but then you quickly have to get in support infrastructure, reestablishing electricity, ensuring the water is running, the government is established, police forces are there to secure the people in the local towns. the military is going to quickly leave ramadi. it s going to be left up to the local security forces, the police, and also the political forces in this province, and in this city, to take care of the
reestablishing electricity, ensuring the water is running. the government s established. police forces are there to secure the people in the local towns. the military is going to quickly leave ramadi. it s going to be left up to the local security forces, the police, and also the political forces in this province, and in this city, to take care of the people. that will be the thing to watch next. you can defeat isis on the battle field, but then you have to follow up with services to the people to make them understand that the government of baghdad is taking care of them. general mark hurtling, thank you so much for joining us. thank you, rosemary. officials report a suicide car bomb was detonated near the airport in the afghan capital of kabul. an afghan interior ministry spokesman said one civilian was killed and four others wounded. and the taliban have claimed responsibility for the blast. in nigeria, at least 14 people were killed and several
inches. they don t need to see it. a lot of the areas have already had 8-10 inches and they are going to get more. it is amazing to see what the weather is doing this december. allison chinchar, we thank you so much. appreciate it. iraqi soldiers are trying to take back the city of ramadi from isis militants. we ll hear why this is so important. coming up next. everything kids touch during cold and flu season sticks with them. make sure the germs they bring home don t stick around. use clorox disinfecting products. because no one kills germs better than clorox. toto the nation s capitalut to support an important cause that can change the way you live
ironically, isis using the very citizens that technically they are trying to recruit. the coalition and iraqi forces, colonel, have been working to disrupt isis supply lines. one of the major roots is being disrupted. how effective do you think that will be? that is effective. we are seeing this. this is a long-term strategy. this goes to the retaking of mosul. which we know is the key to iraq getting rid of isis. they are trying to isolate mosul. they are going to cut the supply lines, the fighting at sinjar. cutting the supply line. that is critical. once you isolate mosul, you can surround it and go in and take it. mosul is a huge sit scity, much larger than ramadi and long supply lines. this isn t going to p ha in the fex few weeks but we are starting the process and cutting
the shia militias are nowhere. that s important, because it is a fundamental shift to allow the sunnis to feel okay, we are back in the game. how do you see it, lieutenant colonel? that s exactly right. it is important that the sunnis are seen as involved in this. this is very reminiscent of the anbar awakening in 2007. now, you see the sunnis joining with the iraqi forces. this is critical. this will spell a really good omen for the future. once they take ramadi, they have to hold ramadi. you have to have the sunnis to do that. the shia can t do this. you are seeing a dress rehearsal for what s going to happen in mosul. a very interesting thing, also. there are a lot of citizens that are in ramadi. those citizens are being used by isis as fodder. that s one of the reasons that, i guess, the troops have been sort of slow to move.
