WNU Editor: This is the New York Times for you .... on one story they quote Vice President Biden who is stating that progress is being made in Iraq .... Biden Cites Progress in Iraq’s War With ISIS (New York Times) .... but on the same day the New York Times reports on a brand new Islamic State offensive that successfully over-ran key Iraqi military/police installations .... ISIS Strikes Iraqi Town, Exacting Deadly Toll (New York Times).
Sighhh .... this is not how you win the public's confidence in your policies.

Meaning they aren't all dead yet?
LWJ is reporting that while IS lost Tikrit they are pressing hard in Ramadi and have made gains.
So are we gaining, losing, or playing whack-a-mole?
Islamic State launches assault on Ramadi
