#2 Stalingrad in the sand.

'Sounds like good prep for biblical siege - of several years. No fuel, no batteries, no food, no ammunition gets in.

Let them eat IED's - and each other.

#3 I think it is more intended to keep those pussies in ISIS in town to fight more than keeping the Iraqi Army et al. from coming in.

ISIS does seem to show a tendency toward mass desertion when the sledding gets tough.

Now that they are somewhat confined, can we have a good old fashioned B-52 arclight, I mean a REAL arc light with 500 pounders every ten feet for a freaking mile?

#4 Seems like the Iraqi forces have ISIS where they want them. Proceed with artillery bombardments. Pick ISIS jihadists off as they swim across the river to escape.
