#1 I wonder if ISIS blame Turkey for not providing sufficient air-support?

#2 Mosukl ius a major MOUT undertaking, and the Kurds are smart for standing off. They dont have that kind of manpower, and it would become a Stalingrad to the Peshmerga. Even if they did liberate it, they wouldn't get Mosul as part of their homeland, so why bother spending the time treasure talent and blood there? Let the Shia regain their city if they want it, the Kurds will hold the north, eastern and northwestern sides of the ring but not enter.
