Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakapuakina e tetahi rangatira hōia o te US i te pohehe 'ngaro hōia' i te wa o te korero a te hunga pāpāho i te marama kua hipa i te wa i puta mai ai ia i te wa e whakaarohia ana mo te whakaeke whenua a Iraqi i te taone nui o Mosul. Ko te korero, ko tana whakaaturanga mo nga kairipoata i te Pentagon i te Hui-tanguru 19 i whakamanahia e te US Central Command, i kii te US e hiahia ana nga Iraqi ki te whakarewa i te whakaeke i te Paenga-whawha, Mei ranei, ahakoa i kii ano ia ka haere pea a muri ake. 'He mārama ehara i te mōhiohio tika, mehemea he mōhiohio tika, he mōhiohio e tika ana kia tukuna atu ki te pāpāho,' i kī te Minita Parenga a Ash Carter ki te Komiti o te Senate Armed Services. 'Na he hē i runga i nga kaute e rua.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Kua whakapumautia e te Minita Parenga a Ash Carter i whakapuakina e tētahi rangatira hōia o U.S. he 'rahi hōia' i te marama kua hipa i a ia e whakapuaki ana i te wā e tūmanakohia ana mō tētahi whakaeke whenua i arahina e Iraki ki Mosul. I tēnei wā ka kitea kāore e tīmata te whakaeke i tēnei puna, me te hiahia o ngā ope haumaru o Iraki ki te nui ake o te wā mō te whakangungu i whakaritea e te U.S. Kua mōhiotia whānuitia mō ngā marama e kei roto te whakaeke i ngā wāhanga whakamahere, ā, ka tohu pea i tētahi wā whakahirahira i roto i te pakanga ki te whakakorenga i te Islamic State i Iraq. I riro a Mosul i nga toa o te Islamic State i te Pipiri o te tau kua hipa. I hohoro nga ope a te kawanatanga o Iraki ki te takahi, i arahi ki te timatanga o te pakanga pahū i arahina e te US i Iraki i Akuhata. Ko te Tumuaki o te ope taua a Martin Dempsey, te tiamana o te Joint Chiefs of Staff, e whakaatu ana i te taha o Carter, i kii ia kua korerohia e ia te korero mo Mosul me Gen. Lloyd Austin, te upoko o te Central Command. 'Kei te whakahaerehia e ia he uiui ā-roto,' ka mea a Dempsey, e whakapono ana ia ka'mahi tika' a Austin. Kāore ia i kī he aha tērā. Ko te whakamōhiotanga i mahia e tētahi rangatira i te tari matua o te Central Command i Tampa, Florida. I kōrero ia mā te waea ki tētahi rōpū kairipoata i te Pentagon i runga i te tikanga o te kore ingoa i raro i ngā ture taketake i whakaritea e te Central Command.

I kii nga apiha i hiahia a US kia whakaekea e nga Iraqi te taone nui o Mosul i te Paenga-whawha, i te Haratua ranei. I whakaae te Minita Parenga a Ash Carter i te Turei kaore i tika kia tukuna atu te korero ki te papaho Ko te whakaeke i tēnei wā e tūmanakohia ana kia tīmata i te mutunga o te tau me te kaha o te haumaru o Iraki e hiahia ana ki te nui ake o te wā mo te whakangungu i whakaritea e te US. E mōhiotia whānuitia ana mō ngā marama kei te whakamaherehia te whakaeke, ā, ka tohu pea i tētahi wā tino nui i roto i te pakanga ki te whakakore i a ISIS i Iraq.
