I just may take you up on that, when this hits. I am so ready to move on from where I am in life right now. When I was a player, I always did the Ritz Carlton.

Synopsis Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Here appears to be an updated map of the operations in Western Mosul: http://isis.liveuamap.com/en You may have to enlarge the map to get to Mosul to see the remaining area in Western Mosul held by ISIS. With the 17July District retaken (stronghold of ISIS), the rest of the area held by ISIS may fold fairly quickly with limited to no munitions and the inability to use large vehicle IEDs in the Old Mosul area. The other neighborhoods directly to the north of Old Mosul may still see useage of these vehicle IEDs but likely not much. A recent report indicated about 450 ISIS remaining in the ISIS held areas of Old Mosul. A dozen ISIS here, a dozen ISIS there eliminated will likely see huge areas in the ISIS defenses collapse. ISIS could very well be removed totally from Old Mosul by the end of the week. Hopefully, tomorrow morning we will wake up to only the area of Old Mosul left to be retaken.

bkeiller Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Iraqi special forces declare 'game over' for Isis in Mosul as western districts retaken raq's special forces have declared their mission in Mosul complete after some of the last remaining western districts were retaken from Isis. Despite the announcement, battles are still raging in a handful of neighbourhoods, forcing hundreds of civilians to flee each day. Isis, which seized the ancient city in June 2014, still controls around eight square kilometres of western Mosul, including the densely populated Old City where some of the fiercest and most gruelling final battles are expected to play out in the narrow streets that are impassable for tanks.

The battle to retake the city from the jihadis began in November as a joint initiative between Iraqi government forces, the Kurdish Peshmerga and US-led coalition, and has so far displaced an estimated 700,000 people.

A " can't do it, the time is not right " statement would probably cause wide scale rioting ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
