Φυσικά δεν ξέρετε και είναι αδύνατο να μάθετε, όσα δελτία και αν παρακολουθήσετε, ότι πάνω από σαράντα χιλιάδες άμαχοι πολίτες σκοτώθηκαν κατά την επιχείρηση «απελευθέρωσης» της Μοσούλης από την «αντιτρομοκρατική συμμαχία» υπό την ηγεσία των ΗΠΑ – η συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των οποίων δεν σκοτώθηκε από το Ισλαμικό Κράτος αλλά από τη «Συμμαχία» που ήθελε να τους «απελευθερώσει». Δεν ξέρετε ότι έλεγαν στους κατοίκους
