  • A New Formula in the Battle for Fallujah | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / Articles & Op-Eds A New Formula in the Battle for Fallujah by Michael Knights May 25, 2016 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Michael Knights Michael Knights is the Boston-based Jill and Jay Bernstein Fellow of The Washington Institute, specializing in the military and security affairs of Iraq, Iran, and the Persian Gulf states. Articles & Testimony The campaign is Iraq's latest attempt to push militia and coalition forces into a single battlespace, and lessons from past efforts have seemingly improved their tactics. n May 22, the Iraqi government announced the opening of the long-awaited battle of Fallujah, the city only O 30 miles west of Baghdad that has been fully under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group for the past 29 months. Fallujah was a critical hub for al-Qaeda in Iraq and later ISIL in the decade before ISIL's January 2014 takeover. On the one hand it may seem surprising that Fallujah has not been liberated sooner -- after all, it has been the ISIL- controlled city closest to Baghdad for more than two years. The initial reason was that there was always something more urgent to do with Iraq's security forces. In January 2014, the Iraqi security forces were focused on preventing an ISIL takeover of Ramadi next door. The effort to retake Fallujah was judged to require detailed planning, and a hasty counterattack seemed like a pointless risk. In retrospect it may have been worth an early attempt to break up ISIL's control of the city while it was still incomplete.

  • Ricominciamo a Giocare a Pallone 2 Ricominciamo a Giocare a Pallone Introduzione
    Massimo Morgia Ricominciamo a Giocare a Pallone 2 Ricominciamo a Giocare a Pallone Introduzione L’estate è sicuramente la stagione che preferisco: amo il sole e il mare è un richiamo a cui mai saprei rinunciare. Del mare apprezzo tutto, mi piace quando è azzurro come il cielo e mi emoziona vederlo anche quando è in tempesta. Mi piace contemplarlo e qualche volta sfidarlo, ed è lì che soprattutto posso rilassarmi con il mio hobby preferi- to, la pesca. Non importa se armato di canna o di pinne e fucile, sopra o sotto l’acqua, mi sento in pace con me stesso e con il mondo. Dell’inverno al contrario non apprezzo nulla, pioggia e freddo mi incupiscono e le giornate corte mi rattristano. La neve è bella solo a vederla in cartolina, però c’è il Natale: quei pochi giorni che lo precedono sono molto belli e mi mettono buon umore ed allegria. Vedere gente indaffarata e contenta nello scegliere i regali, respirare un po’ “quel sentirsi più buoni”, riaccende la speranza di un mondo migliore. Ritorniamo tutti un po’ bambini, più disponibili e generosi, più attenti ai valori importanti e soprattutto più vicini alle persone care, che siano di famiglia o semplici amici. Scegliere un pensiero da donare mi rende felice più che riceverlo, ma al contempo mi sento ansioso e un tantino nervoso, la paura è quella di essere banale e scontato. Se poi il regalo da scegliere è per quelle persone che gravitano intorno al mio lavoro (giocatori ,collaboratori , dirigenti, giornalisti e tifosi) diventa ancora più impegnativo e gravoso sia per questioni puramente economiche, come al solito per i ricchi è tutto più semplice, che per le diversità dei gusti, accontentare tutti non è semplice.

    WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2016 Euro 2016 terror threat worries Desailly CARDIFF: France’s World Cup winner Marcel Desailly is worried about security for Euro 2016 after the deadly attacks on Paris last November. “Of course, there is a little fear,” the 1998 World Cup winner and Euro 2000 champion said. “Because of the level of security, we hope nothing will happen, but it’s a very difficult thing to be able to check everyone. “It’s not just the stadiums, it can happen anywhere in any city.” His comments came amid a new scare over security breaches at the Stade de France in Paris during the French Cup final on Saturday. The stadium, which will host the opening match on June 10 plus the July 10 final, was targeted by suicide bombers during the November 13 attacks that left 130 dead. Desailly, a key member of the side that won the 1998 World Cup final in the stadium, said he hopes France can win the European champi- onships on home soil to lift the whole country. “If France win the title, it will boost more than just football, it will boost the economy, it will boost the hope,” said the 47-year-old. “People are quite sad, life is diffi- cult and football will bring some smiles to the faces, like we did in 2000 and 1998.” The former Chelsea and AC Milan defender hopes Didier Deschamps’ squad can win a third European crown after their 1984 and 2000 triumphs. ‘A big blow’ Desailly said the absence of experienced striker Karim Benzema could hurt France, but they have the talent to cope.
