GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Well, ISIS delivering a crushing blow to Iraq by overtaking Ramadi. So why is that city so important to both Iraq and American forces? Air Force veteran and Congressman Adam Kinzinger joins us. It's nice to see you, sir.
REP. ADAM KINZINGER, R-ILLINOIS: Nice to be with you.
SUSTEREN: Now it's Ramadi. We've had Mosul in June of 2014 and now on to Ramadi.
KINZINGER: It seems like we are basically in where's where list everywhere America fought hard to bring freedom to the Iraqi people. Mosul was a very long and drawn out battle. The American forces put a lot of blood and treasure into and Ramadi is the same way, billions of dollars, hundreds of lives.
It also represents a very important strategic point in the stealing of Western Iraq. If you look at supply lines from Jordan and Syria into Iraq, Ramadi plays a very important role. So this is devastating, if in fact the whole city falls.
SUSTEREN: Well, the other night, we had on the governor of the province where Mosul is. He said that all they need are weapons from the United States government and he can't get them, but they could have pushed ISIS out.
