Guardian: Reports the following on the Tikrit operation, " The long-promised battle for Tikrit and the province of Salahuddin, north of Baghdad, is set to be a dry run for another offensive, backed by the US-led international coalition and Shia militia, to retake Isis-controlled Mosul. "
Lets Get Real:
The prize for the new Iraqi Army and Government is the retaking of Mosul, but the price comes with costs, the attack has to be successful, the Army can not run away if there are problems, the US air force will have to have close co-operation with the land forces as to help in the house to house fighting in Mosul. The Iraqi Army will also need support from US Special Forces, as the Iraqi Army will be attacking Mosul with the help of Iran it places the Oval Office in a fraught position, the the Israeli and US relationship is fraught to say the least, the Israeli Government sees Obama as selling out to Iran over a nuclear deal, thus the more the Oval is seen as in the same bed as Iran the more chance that Israel will attack Iran without telling the US. The reason that the US needs Iran is simple, the Oval in 2011 left Iraq without leaving behind US troops, thus the growth of IS in Syria and Iraq. Thus a threat to the region. Mistakes have results even for a Nobel Prize winning President.
