according to our own ben wedeman who gins us from baghdad as does nick paton-walsh. killing 20 people today. is there a chance that baghdad could fall? >> reporter: not at the moment. baghdad is a big city mostly populated by shia who are very hostile to isis. we've been on the western perimeters of the city. they seem to be fairly well-defended, some of iraq's best units are in the baghdad area, plus there are tens of thousands of armed and trained shia militiamen as well who have been mobilized. so for isis, baghdad would be too big to swallow. but these bombs that go off daily in the city are one source of preoccupation certainly for the iraqi government and most likely for the americans as well. but you have to look a little further afield. in anbar province, we saw a military base outside the town of hit which fell last week today fall to isis. now, according to the iraqi military, the soldiers who abandoned that position did have a chance to burn the material, the hardware, the ammunition that they couldn't take with them. but it's just another example, jake, o
