IS moved most of its VBIED's and other heavy weaponry to Eastern Mosul, recently bridges were destroyed by air power. Western Mosul will be easier. Over 1 million civs remain in Mosul whom are listed as priority for the ISF, there's no rush if that causes more damage than good. But f the Donald...

The oppression of Bahrainis by foreign powers makes it hard to believe any of such reports

Al Salool government executing partakers of the 2013 protests in the Eastern Region (Shias).

I've never been Shia and my comment about Sunni Islam was solely about the political side of it which indeed has problems. I favored secular leaders ever since I came here. -- As for Haidar Sumeri, I don't follow his posts blindly. His useful posts are often translated shortcuts from Arabic...

Fighting an army that wields tanks and uses conventional style is often far easier than fighting insurgency groups using Maneuver warfare as IS does where they strike quickly with often superior numbers against an unprepared target and make sure they disappear before reinforcements or air power...

The way Israel stays alive is by leeching on America and ensuring that no middle eastern country advances either by promoting division and wars as 500 has been doing here or by striking strategic sites (in sneaky ways as usual) like the 1981 Tammuz reactor in Iraq or the Syrian reactor. All...

You underestimate urban warfare. The US described the 2nd battle of Fallujah the heaviest urban warfare they've seen since the battle of hue city (Veitnam). Whilst they stood against a weak enemy the urban environment made it a hard fight, though that was against an insurgent group of amateurs...

KSA should apologize for funding IS and pay all victims including its own, Qatar should be taken by colonial powers.

Not involved in urban warfare, if urban warfare and calling for CAS there will be friendly fire. ISF actually does better than the Gulf armies. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have supported terrorism, Wahhabism is a cancer.

If Saudi troops were in Yemen there would be friendly fire every day

Many aren't wearing helmets @7:50 killed a doctor for no reason. -- American sec of defense says he wants to keep US troops in Iraq after IS is defeated.

soldier sacrificed himself to save other soldiers

Technology is improved by experiencing continuous failure for it to be modified you stupid!!!!!!!!!

Turkey should leave the Saudi/Qatar/UAE side and join the winning side instead, better for their borders and relations with the important countries. Saudi and Qatar have done nothing but fund terror all over the place. The UAE runs on a foreign workforce, foreign intellect from the west and...

The regional govs should cooperate to do what is good for the people there, it doesn't affect me despite the recent discussions, the locals deserve a better life. The foreign policies of certain leaders have been costly to several armies including TAF and that is an ongoing war which will take...

A month ago The US and its allies have killed between 800 and 900 ISIS fighters in the operation to retake Mosul, US Army Gen. Joseph Votel said Thursday. US military officials estimate that there are 3,000 to 5,000 ISIS fighters defending the last major stronghold of the terror group in Iraq...

Her mom says Bana died, the little girl that got famous tweeting from Aleppo. But who knows? It's not the first time things were set up in Syria. That aside the 1990 Kuwaitis faked the 15 year old girl crying about Iraqi soldiers incubators stories, too much lying.

So now the UN admits their casualty report is from 'unverified sources' or whatever, basically Al Jazeera Arabic the mouthpiece of the terror organisation qatar.

Tens of KIA is very uncommon for attacks on troops, it's common with attacks on civillians. It's hard to give an accurate estimate at this point as some factors of the Mosul battle differ from battles in other towns. But VBIED's remain their strongest tool. The Peshmerga doesn't know the...

4 per attack is a high estimate as you're rating them all as successful attacks, these aren't soft targets as the bombs IS uses against civillians in Baghdad. Also many car bomb attempts fail and get destroyed. The VBIED in the video against the Abrams tank did not have any result, not a direct...
