Mosey into Mosul.

     Okay! This is it. The Peshmerga, Iraqis, and Kurdish government (different from the nationalist Kurdish peshmerga) have hit Mosul hard. Nearly 100,000 are involved in this attack and we are right on ISIS's tail. Some even reporting from the tunnels that ISIS uses to escape, food was found still warm when they arrived. 
     Mosul, a beacon of peace and love (from the ISIS standpoint), is using citizens as human shields. However, the offense is offering ways for people to leave Mosul during the attack. 
      Really, the attack is going quite well and ahead of schedule. An issue that was brought up in the debate last night was the lack of the element of surprise on Mosul. Trump claimed that the leaders have left before the attacks even began because it was so obvious that Mosul was under siege. 

I believe that this is not our fight to dictate how it goes. American forceswere  reported as being seen at the front of the attack but we are supporting and not leading this. Under the Obama administration, we took out Osama Bin Laden with surprise and efficiency. It can be done because that was our operation. We are support and we must know how we can best help.
