fuagf, You asked, "why do you think Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi hasn't been seen in Mosul since he took the city in 2014?"
That's easy as most everyone in the city hates him and would give up his location in a heart beat to rid themselves of him.
Trump has said he would bomb the shit out of them but I think if he was president after he speeking with the generals they would convince him the loss of civilian life would damage the USA image.
The element of surprise is a great assets if used properly.
Obama is in no way a commander and chief. How dumb could one be to announce the date and goal of when he was going to withdraw troops from IRAQ. There is no good reason to announce something like that and it wound up hurting the people of IRAQ , Syria as well as Libya and others.
Down the road Obama will go down as the worst president ever.
