The Fight for Mosul

Posted By Blackfive • [February 11, 2008]

“The Islamic State of Iraq is faced with an extraordinary crisis, especially in al-Anbar...The renegades and Americans started launching their attacks to destroy us. We lost cities, and afterwards villages, and the desert became a dangerous refuge. We got away from people and found ourselves in a wasteland desert.” - Al Qaeda Iraq letter captured in late Summer 2007

As our enemy's areas of influence diminish, they are being pushed to a few different places - one being Mosul.  Below are combat photos of the 2-2 MiTT team with their Iraqi counterparts engaging AQI in Mosul on January 23rd.  (The MiTT teams do not get enough credit for their hard work and courage):

U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Iraqi Army Division Military Transition Team take cover behind a car during a fire fight in Mosul, Iraq, on Jan. 23, 2008. The soldiers of the 2-2 MiTT work side by side with the Iraqi army, assisting and advising them on the fight against the insurgency.   Date Taken:  January 23rd, 2008.  Location: Mosul, IQ.  Photographer: Spc.
