#2 Islamic State supreme leader’s speech admits defeat in Mosul

Defeat to me would be all his followers would be staked down in a line and run over by a tank. Instead of sneaking away to fight another day. But I'll take what I can get for now.

#3 A French tank. After we have run over the bad guys we switch to rear gear and run over them in reverse and this 27 times one for very of our t 27 reverse gears.

#5 I would prefer something that reverses slowly.

French tanks are faster in reverse than in forward gear.

#6 Perchance, we line up the gunships and Bradleys and do a no limit hunt as the rats leave Mosul.

Just tell the locals to stay inside for a while and let the ROE be "if it moves shoot"
