Most observers and analysts of political and military, they expect to resolve the battle of Mosul, within days or weeks, were not these expectations are based on arbitrary estimates, because the forces that have been mobilized for this tremendous battle, backed by a coalition of about 60 countries, in the forefront of the world's largest force, in addition to internal objective conditions faced by the organization Daesh, represent the weaknesses of the strategy, in the forefront of the loss of social incubator, the lack of geographical knowledge among the foreign fighters, and others.

Modest progress

Correspondents field and noted that the Iraqi forces made in the last few days is very modest, and only military data to declare control of the locality or village here or there, and access to the river bank in a limited portion, near the two bridges Mhedman, military statements said that al Daesh deliberately detonated, to prevent progress Iraqi forces.

As already highlighted a stream of news by coalition aircraft destroyed the five bridges of Mosul, to prevent the arrival of supplies to Daesh in the left side of the right side. In all cases, the troops would be under threat from the other side of the river, making the left bank of the ongoing military zone to fight, but to continue the voluntary and forced displacement of the city.

The fact of victory

In military accounts, and with dwindling floor spaces that can organize Daesh maneuver where about 40 percent, and the fact of having Iraqi forces international and domestic of Peshmerga to support the militias fighting on its side, the victory of the joint forces in this battle is the fact inescapable, even if they are in part of the city without the other part, as in many cities, including Sharqat south of Mosul and Qayyarah.

Military analysts believe, that Iraq has good instincts and a large number of competent fighters, but according to tests monitored by analysts, these forces suffer from poor management and organization.

ambiguity

Fighters tribes in Anbar announced the launch of a military operation to regain control of three cities still under the control of extremists, and Anah and Rawa and Qaim, which represents an important stronghold of the leaders of al Daesh, strange that the Iraqi government did not announce this process has not issued daily statements on the progress of the battles there.
