Iraq-a-Mole

via the Independent:

American Marines from Falluja and Iraqi National Guard (ING) battalions from Kurdish autonomous region have deployed to Mosul to reinforce American and ING units based in the city, Kurdish and American military officials said. They said the local security forces had lost control of much of Mosul, Iraq's third largest city with an estimated population of 1.8 million Arabs, Kurds, Turcomen and Assyrian Christians.

Another opportunity to for liberation! Oh boy.

Ever wonder how many cities we "liberated" in South Vietnam? Hint - every damn one of them.

So how did that work out, anyway?
