#1 Good analysis, but he fails to mention the Kurds surround Mosul except for a corridor to the south perhaps 30 kilometers wide. We hear very little about what is happening outside the cities in Iraq but there are indications the Kurds are pushing the Sunnis out of rural areas. My reading is Mosul is already lost to the Sunnis, they just don't realize it.

#2 Lol, Phil_b, wouldn't that mean that Ralph Peters doesn't realize it either?

Good job by Mr. Peters, though, that he understands the strategic importance and conditions of Mosul. Let's hope that not only do our active-duty and reserve (serving) officers know it, but are able to and are acting on that intelligence.
