In Mosul,
#ISIS operatives are unable to move, let alone having embezzlement operations (they have carried out operations inside the city, but they were few & unimpressive); and there are no clear indications that the referenced Mosul VBIEDs are actually connected to Daesh.Show this threadThanks.

Charles's statement/assessment about Iraq is simply inaccurate; ISIS operations in Mosul --and Iraq-- decreased significantly in the past seven months. They are actually suffering and barely surviving, according to their own numbers.pic.twitter.com/YIq32h6amG

It’s 7 years since I started coming regularly to Iraq. Once upon a time I needed a VIP escort from Baghdad airport. Today I just grabbed a taxi to my hotel. Nightlife’s been booming for a while; now the checkpoints are disappearing & the blast walls coming down

These are JUDGES, who are well paid in Iraq. I wonder who it compares to teachers, who are striking in at this time. Also, the budget is the least transparent, with no details on where the funds are going.pic.twitter.com/h7ZVLtLvfr

#Iraqi parliament gave themselves four times more money than they gave judges working for the Supreme Court. On average, parliament allocated $114k per employee for itself (300bn IQD/2,200 employees). Whereas it allocated about $27,000 per employee 4 the court (400bn IQD/12,124)pic.twitter.com/NFQCK42PEu Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.
