The Mosul campaign, which lasted from October 2016 to July 2017 was the largest and most important battle against the Islamic State in Iraq.

The human toll was tremendous as well, and likely never to be fully accounted for due to Iraqi government censorship on casualties.

SNOOPING BREITBARTNIKS DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO FIND ANYTHING TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOALS
Yesterday, Axios reported on Breitbart's dirty diggers: Steve Bannon has sent two of Breitbart News' top reporters, Matt Boyle and Aaron Klein, to Alabama.
