One thought not exactly looked at.... is that really the force structure and capability needed to support the Iraqi Army? If your not doing the fighting directly - then the real area of assistance is in enabling force areas and support functions. That said - you could need combat forces there for another reason - and that is to protect our forces after Mosul falls.... from those guys who are currently fighting to the west of the force wee are advising..... IS is a tough enemy and well lead, but they will be eventually defeated in Mosul, it is what happens after that that really is the issue.

Instead... the whole attack grounds to a halt and fingers are pointed.. http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/urban-operations-battle-in-mosul-halted-as-high-civilian-death-toll-investigated

It appears whatever the agenda is, American tax dollars has been fully committed.
Trump placed a good man in charge of American assets. I just fear the agenda is a global agenda. Not an American one.
