Iraq crisis: Last government troops flee strategic town of Tal Afar - Telegraph

Not sure if the Iraqi army had retaken Tal Afar but if not, that would suggest that this is not the ideal place.

How about asking the Jordanians? They must be looking at the inexorable spread of ISIS and wondering if they were next.

This report also makes reference to the well armed Sunnis who appear to have taken the US-supplied arms from the Iraqi army. Lets hope they don't have Manpads, although I am not sure why the Iraqi amy would have been supplied with Manpads.
