I would have expected no lesser observations from you!
Paphiyis;
The Iraqis are in charge of the operation. Coalition and Peshmerga are supporting the Iraqi Government.
The Iraqi Army couldn’t organise a ‘
p*ss up in a brewery’. The US coalition is running the operation.
Civilians will be killed. But never will they be specifically targeted.
Just as they are never deliberately targeted by The Syrian forces and their allies in Syria. Absolutely nothing to be gained from deliberately committing war crimes ...... but you would find that too difficult to work out, because you are driven by hatred for Putin ..... even over ISIS!
There will be no Chemical Warfare, no cluster bombs, no phosphate, no napalm, and we don't even have barrel bombs. No hospitals, schools or mosques will be targeted. Only Assad and Pootin are renowned for these crimes.
The terrorist use all the above armaments apart from barrel bombs, and all supplied by members of your coalition..... they also use civilians as human shields, have blocked the safe routes to Western Aleppo and shoot those that attempt to escape or, murder the relatives of those that manage to get out.
If they are, the Coalition abandons the operation. No coalition country will stand accused of war crimes.
Yes of course they will ...... but western countries have committed thousands of war crimes from Japan, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq x 2, Libya and now Syria. Or were you not aware of those facts?
In addition, there is a reason why the Coalition waited this long. The Iraqis needed training and we needed time for them to exhaust their munitions, funds and their will to fight.
But your friends the Saudi’s have been providing them with weapons including chemical weapons (Sarin) and morter launched cluster bombs since 2012! You stand more chance of training monkeys than the Iraqi Army ..... have you forgotten Chemical Ali and his boasts (
like yours)l all ready? The first sign of their likely demise and they will join ISIL.
It is a big possibility that this operation will end within days but I could be wrong.
Well General .... you had better tell the US coalition your plans then as they are obviously far better than they have come up with..... because they seem to believe it will take many, many months. So far they have attacked outlying villages; they are still many kms from Mosul City and that is the size of Birmingham. Maybe you should start dropping food and medical aid , instead of telling the residents to stay indoors? What a gem!!!!!
What will occur is that once Mosul is liberated, it will still be largely intact and a functional city and not a pile of rubble like Aleppo. Journalists will be able to come and document everything when it is safe to do so.
Where do you get your glass balls from?
Parts of Mosul will get flattened .... just like parts of Aleppo. (
The only thing that may avoid that is if the story that the Saudis and the US have done a deal with ISIS to leave them a corridor to escape into Syria ..... I believe they were bribed. Although I suspect they will leave behind a few thousand foreigners as cannon fodder!)The precedence I use is the liberation of Dabiq. It took Turkey and the FSA just days to take Dabiq from ISIL.
How many Turks and FSA died .... do you know?
Contrast that to Pootin and Assad and the pile of rubble as well as the legacy of criminality and war crimes in Aleppo!
Think of Dresden, Bagdad, Falluja your forces flattened large areas and used masses of depleted uranium behind them. War crimes are war crimes when they are proved and your coalition is very, very, far from reaching that goal. So far, even using the UN as a source, your coalition have committed far more war crimes than either Assad or The Russians.
The history books will not be kind to Pootin or Assad. They will go down as War Criminals at large until justice is served.
You really do believe that .......... don’t you? How sad.
But to return to the Original Post ....... it is about freedom of speech in case you have forgotten, not about your delusional views of the events the US and its allies have set in motion in the Middle East.
