#1 Mosul fell to ISIS in June 2014.

Since then a 'liberation' has been postponed many times. In April 2015, Iraqi sources said it would be liberated before the summer. Back in June 2015, one Iraqi Gen said the liberation was underway but that was misinfo.

The Kurds already control about 50-75% of the perimeter around the city.

Of course, Ramadi fell to ISIS in May 2015 and it is closer to Baghdad.
