#1 ISIS staged a spoiling attack in Kirkuk proper early this morning and stopped the Mosul offensive in its tracks for now. It appears that some ISIS fighters may have infiltrated into the city with the "displaced person" refugee crowd. They hit schools, prisons and power plants. It will take awhile to dig them out.

#2 Got a feeling this Mosul Offensive News is gonna be a very long running feature. And if Peshmerga does the bulk of the fighting they're gonna expect something in return.
