and of course he is lying again, the attack on Mosul isn’t going poorly, though its a bit to early to say how well its going. Did ISIS not think they were going to retake Mosul the last city it controls in Iraq? You think they wouldn’t notice the 100,000 troops heading to the city which is surrounded by open desert? They knew from the day they took the city that sooner or latter a military force was going to try to take it back. His idea of a surprise attack or not saying what your going to do militarily, just shows his low knowledge of military strategy.
He talks about letting ISIS flee the city before they get there…
Which is part of what the coalition forces want to happen, they want ISIS to flee the city because they much rather fight them somewhere else rather than do street by street fighting in Mosul.
