That's the limit of your research into credible sources? No wonder you spout so much nonsense on this forum! Must try harder. Next visit to the Mitchell Library why not read some literature?

Works for me

They're live streaming from outside Mosul here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wcK...ature=youtu.be

It feels a bit wrong even though nothing much seems to be happening yet.

So this is what society wants, Live War........

If you have to ask, you shouldn't be left unattended with your brain cell.

Mosul

She has a blue tick.

Her link goes through to CNN (but gets her TV company ad clicks for doing so).
Here's a direct link:
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/17/mi...n-begins-iraq/

The CNN story says that around 500 of the 5000 US troops currently in Iraq will be involved.
Maybe she couldn't quite read, but needed to get the click bait up, hoping some mugs would just accept whatever she says.

Who's involved in the Mosul offensive?
54,000: Iraqi security forces

40,000: Peshmerga forces

14,000: Paramilitary units*

500: US forces, mostly for logistical efforts

*The paramilitary units include Shiites, Sunnis, Christians, Turkmen and Yazidis. Shiite members are assisting with, but not participating in, the Mosul offensive.

Question of the day:

What's worse, being captured by ISIS or being rescued by the Americans?

Ah, well if I'm only accidentally dead, that's convinced me.

You certainly won't be raising a complaint.

[DaveB]

Going to be a full on bloodbath.

5000 Americans involved, I expect they want this finished before the election.

BBC reckons it's only around 560.

Around 560 US military advisers have been moved to Qayyarah to advise and assist the offensive.
