#1 Interesting. This is more news than I've seen in a while about Mosul. I thought it was more pacified than this article indicates. Seems like there is still work to do. Be safe brave men, and smite those who would do you and their countrymen harm.

Just recently finished Michael Yon's Moment of Truth in Iraq (strongly recommended, BTW), and he closed by pointing out that Mosul was still not clean due to several factors - not least that it had not been "surged" by our guys (my words, his ideas), and that it would mostly be an Iraqi job to clean it out completely.
