" senior official with U.S. Central Command said Thursday a force of roughly 20,000 to 25,000 Iraqis, retrained by the U.S.-led coalition will ultimately lay siege to Mosul, likely in April or May."
and then explain how you read "President Obama said" and that the Pentagon didn't know of the announcement out of that.:roll:
On who's orders did this "senior official with U.S. Central Command" do this? Not too many out rank a "senior official with U.S. Central Command".
Violating operational security is a violation of some of the most basic and most fundamental precepts of military operations, needlessly putting troops and the mission at risk. No, I'm thinking this is a politically motivated decision, that has Obama's and / or the White House's finger prints all over that, as this is what they typically do: politics uber alles.
