2003 Invasion of Iraq: Was America really that good or was Iraq just really awful

You do know what the Iraqi Army had in Mosul don't you? Small arms, a shit ton of Humvees and some artillery.

AT-4s no. Almost nothing for medium arms and a tiny number of artillery and self-propelled artillery does not make for a lot of heavy armaments.

Which is a red-herring as ISIS seizure of territory in 2014 and its engagement with the ISF in doing so was not limited to Mosul. It was merely the most high profile of their conquests.
