Is Obama Fast-tracking Mosul Offensive to Save His Legacy?

(AINA) -- Whenever a sitting President of the United States leaves office after his term of office whether its four or eight years the media starts talking about what will their legacy be? There are separate listings for both domestic and foreign policy.

In January 2017 Barack Obama leaves office. So there are several issues in Foreign Policy that will be scrutinized by both Candidates. But there is one situation that seems to be the focus of this Administration to be resolved before the incumbent leaves office. What is a concern is this was an issue that many feel that Obama dropped the ball on.

When Obama took office He sought to shift the focus from Iraq to Afghanistan. He felt that the fighting in Central Asia was more justified than was was occurring in the cradle of civilization. But what has happened in Iraq during his term of office has been a detriment not only to the people of Iraq but has also led to problems not only in the Middle East but can also be viewed as a source of some of the issues now affecting Europe.

Considering what has happened in the Country since major US Combat Forces left the Country the Administration made a great error in Judgement with the timing of their withdrawal. Even though there was a functioning Government in Baghdad events were manipulated so that there were a couple of power vacuums in the Country. This would lead to a situation that certain elements were to exploit successfully for their own agendas.

In 2014 Sunni Elements including former member of the Saddam Hussein Baathist Party merged with Al-Qaeda Fighters to form what some refer to as Daesh or the Islamic State. They also moved into Syria taking advantage of the Civil War raging there to take over roughly one third of the Country which is roughly the same size of Iraqi territory that they were able to capture as well. Shia Militias emboldened by Iranian support were actually able to control other parts of the Country.

Some of these actions have placed some of the Religious Minorities such as the Assyrians and the Turkmen in the position of being seen as pawns. They have suffered atrocities at the hands of ISIS and indifference at the hands of Baghdad. So they have some room to be skeptics.

One of the goals that the Obama Administration does have is the liberation of Mosul. The planners in Washington and Baghdad are beginning to fast track this effort. The goal of having the city be liberated before Obama leaves office is crystal clear. That way some issues of having a safe haven for the Religious Minorities be addressed by the next Administration.

It is also clear that President Obama feels that what has taken place in Iraq may have a negative impact on his legacy. Some of his actions do indicate that this is a valid concern.

I don't care who liberates Mosul just as long as there is a mountain of dead Daesh members in there liberation and minimal civilian causalities.

I am old and get cranky easy. Daesh don't want me there as me and a few gals, ( maybe sarges gals ) will eliminate those suckers in a fortnight !

The petulant man-childs' legacy can not be saved. He will go down in history as the most devastatingly, anti-American, nation destroying POTUS in American history. 

As for KILLING THE HELL outta Daesh. Roll in with overwhelming numbers and superior fire power; add to that,  a core mindset instilled in each and every soldier the determination of absolute retaliation, TERMINATE every last one of them with EXTREME PREJUDICE.

Make Mosul more than just a name of a city. Horrify your enemy so the end result is that he loses the will and the resolve to ever want to fight you again.

You make the statement in your enemies blood - YOU MEAN BUSINESS ! Test our [ IRAQ's ] resolve will mean your violent bloody end. If blood is all Daesh understands. Let their bodies float in their own ocean of Blood.

One more thing: give them no quarter - take no prisioners. The great Spartan, King Leonidas said while fighting the Persian invaders at the Pass at Thermopylae - " Give them nothing, but take from them EVERYTHING " 

It's the short version of how I feel -

As long as Iraq is cleaned up by 2017 or sooner, I don't care what the motive is or who is doing it as long as it gets done and we can get on and over with this investment.

Unless he is willing to absolutely embarrass and infuriate ISIS on the way out (no way he will, he liked the Muslims too much), there really isn't anything he can do to fix his legacy. History will demolish his administration far worse than we can right now as we live it, and we know it was a progressive failure. 

But hey, if he wants to clean up Mosul, by all means, do it quick, do it right.

Well said 10 years and Kraidle

[zzztop]

How could this possibly save his legacy?  HE allowed Mosul(and most of the rest of Iraq) to fall into ISIS control.

[siberian_shaddow]

We usually never remember who came in second, but we always remember who won the fight and how. This is how he wants the American people to see him as a champion. he then belives they will forget the rest of the stuff he did wrong.

 The answer to the original question is , UGHHHH NO! More like he's fast tracking the appearance of cleaning out Mosul before Oct 

for ascetic reasons. You all seem to forget that we've heard from more reliable sources that ISIS is not in control of Mosul. That source 

being Greghi's friend that lives in Iraq. He claims to have gotten this info via social media, which to be honest I trust FAR MORE than anything 

that is called mainstream or regular media. 

Oh and P.S.

 What is,"DAESH"? or "ISIL", do you all not know that by calling those satanic monsters by the names they give themselves your giving them

respect? They are and always will be only ISIS, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Or as any Holy Spirit filled person knows,

THE BEAST.
