Effects on election if Mosul is retaken from ISIS?

[Meclazine for Israel]

Two things.

Firstly, it wont happen by next Tuesday.

I have seen live footage of the Iraqi soldiers sitting around talking on their mobiles.

The same Iraqi soldiers who dropped their guns and ran giving up Mosul in the first place.

Human shields and boobytraps means this will take some time.

Secondly, i think Americans look at the broader picture with Syria, Russia and Iran and will vote with a larger outcome in mind.

So i dont think Mosul will figure as the political potato it's being made out to be, certainly not in this shrinking election window.
