This week, Iraqi military planes have been ordered to fly over Mosul city and drop leaflets urgents residents to rise against Islamic State (IS) militants.
“Iraqi military planes have dropped leaflets over neighborhoods of Mosul in the late night of Tuesday,” said an eyewitness to Iraqi local media.
He stated that the leaflets had the sign of the Iraqi Defence Ministry that written: “IS terrorists were defeated by Iraqi heroes in Amrli and they will also flee from the power of Mosul residents.”
The eyewitness also states that on the leaflet, there were some pictures of weapons and military vehicles of Iraqi Army as well as Iraq’s flag waving on a high hill.
Do they have the means to fight back?
Why aren’t Iraqi planes dropping bombs on the terrorists?

I recently read that, prior to its flight from Mosul, the Iraqi army had gone door-to-door confiscating the weapons of inhabitants, thereby rendering them helpless. Just like the self-defense haters would like to do here.
Especially since ISIS would not have overwhelmed Mosul if the Iraqi army had been doing its job.
