| [RUDAW.NET] A high committee has been established to lead the long-anticipated operation of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , announced the Governor of Nineveh, Nofel Hamadi, who added that the committee has sufficient troops for the offensive. "There is a high committee who will be responsible for the Mosul operation and I’m the head of the committee," Hamadi told Rudaw. "We have enough forces to liberate Mosul and no other troops are needed." "We have taken over the most important military base through the efforts of the Iraqi army and security forces with no participation of any other force," Hamadi added, referring to the successful offensive to retake Qayara airbase. Hamadi said that they can liberate Mosul without relying on any other parties, claiming that the plan has been finalized and they are just waiting for the right time to launch the operation. Some people from Mosul who are currently living in the Kurdistan Region have expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... about the participation of Shiite militia, known as Hashd al-Shaabi, in the battle. "What we witnessed from Hashd al-Shaabi was inhumane. That is why we refuse to agree to their participation in the battle," said a family. Sunni leaders have warned that the Shiite militia have detained and tortured civilians fleeing Fallujah. The majority of the population of Mosul, like Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... is Sunni. The United States announced last month that they would send an additional 560 troops to Iraq. About 400 from the 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Kentucky will be deployed to Qayara airbase where they will assist in setting up a logistics base as part of the preparations for the liberation of Mosul, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported Friday. |
