What this article describes is using a stronger, more direct investigation into who is\/is not friendly to the USA once a city is taken back. As the article indicates, leaving a vacuum after trashing a Middle Eastern city leaves room for a new set of warlords and gangs and terrorist to settle there. Nothing is resolved or finished and the destruction has to be resumed. How many times has Mosul been rebuilt, historically? Frankly, it has been trashed and rebuilt since Nineveh was founded nearly 3,000 years ago.<\/p>\n
After the trashing\u00a0 and flattening of Mosul, which is still not rebuilt two years later, the assessment on the remains of ISIS is that there are still 15,000 to 20,000 ISers in two population groups somewhere in the desert, away from Mosul.\u00a0 They are also moving into Afghanistan and getting into fights with the Taliban. They are not<\/em> gone, just driven out for now.<\/p>\n The term “feral cities” is described thus in the article:\u00a0 Feral cities are major urban sprawls that lack adequate governance. Warlords, gangs or terror groups occupy a maze of concrete that largely blocks GPS links, radio communications and aircraft sensors. U.S. troops are forced to seek and destroy the enemy in an environment filled with sewage, failing infrastructure and even packs of wild dogs.<\/p>\n It can happen anywhere, including here.\u00a0 You don’t think so? Then you are ignorant of real history, the Black Panthers and Seven Days of Rage in Los Angeles, and the later riots in 1992 over the beating of Rodney King.<\/p>\n
