Palmyra/Mosul.

This is coolbert:

As in Palmyra as in Mosul. As in Mosul as in Palmyra.

IT IS THE BAD WEATHER YOU KNOW!

Stalingrad on the Euphrates? Or is it Stalingrad on the Tigris? Two full months now and counting.

"IS shows no sign of weakening as Mosul battle enters third month"

"Islamic State fighters have stepped up counterattacks on Iraqi forces in Mosul amid bad weather as the U.S.-backed offensive to capture their last major city stronghold in Iraq enters its third month. With cloudy skies hampering coalition air surveillance, the militants carried out attacks in three districts of eastern Mosul, al-Quds, Ta'mim and al-Nur, over the past four days"

If we just had more Apache. If we just had more Hellfire. If we just had more Abrams. If we just had more drones. Etc.

Or is this an example of: "the loudest voices are often found furthest from the scene of the action"??
