The Iraqi Mosul offensive
There's alot of coverage of PM Maliki's commitment to send 3,000 Iraqi soldiers to Mosul to battle Al Qaeda (Sunni insurgents) there.
One thing that's not getting mentioned is that these 3,000 troops are largely Shia being sent into the ethnic battleground of Ninevah. Mr. Maliki vowed to “finish the last battle with Al Qaeda, the gangs and the remnants of the past regime.”
(It should also be noted that he's pulling them out of Baghdad.)
