Despite all the hopes of the Perpetual War Party here and in the Middle East, Mosul is being surrounded with ISF and Coalition troops and artillery. The PWP's favorites, variously called Al Qaeda of Iraq, ISIS, ISIL, whatever are about to get pounded.
80,000 troops planned for the seige. With a 7,000 man ground assault force to follow.
Good place to be from... far from. Yeah, if you are at Mosul make plans to get out of there ASAP.
