What I read yesterday Jim, was that the regular Iraqi Army units were bogged down 15 to 20 KM west of Mosul fighting against Daesh in some villages in that area. You would think with air support they would be closer, but who knows.
As far as Turkey goes, they said they were in the fight for Mosul to make sure that the Turkmen who live in that area are not slaughtered by the Shia militias that are with the Iraqi forces. They refuse to allow any ethnic cleansing of Sunni's like the Shia have done before. Erdogan is pushing ro bring back the Death Penalty in Turkey again, which the EU has said will make it tough for Turkey to join the EU. His response to the EU was that they basically don't listen to anyone trying to tell Turkey what to do. I'd be more worried about members of Daesh escaping through Turkish lines, especially the highest members of Daesh.

Turkey is a joke, it's just a terrible shame for the poor sods who live there...but, equally...there does seem to be some popular support for the guy, and I guess he is the strong man that people seem to go for these days, so what can you do?
I guess click on the German Erdogan song and get it even more views I guess. |

The assault to take Raqqa has begun. Kurdish forces are moving first to isolate the city then the attacks to take the city will follow.

Smart operational movement, but it's going to be a tough old slog through the streets. Best of luck to them.

I doubt this will lead to the imminent demise of IS but simply a case of the buggas rearing their ugly heads elsewhere, unfortunately.

interesting that this young man entered the U.S. is afforded a home, financial aid, education and a new way of life. He doesnt get involved with ISIS he gets involved with the religion of Islam and starts running down his neighbhors and hacking them apart with a machete.
Now I know not all muslims are terrorists but you have to admit a damn good majority of terrorists these days do seem to all muslims.

Ah, alas, the other half had to cancel her pre-order because it clashed with another popular game which involves enslaving small creatures to battle to the death with her enemies. But...well...Christmas is coming...
