ISIS Governor Of Mosul Killed In Coalition Airstrikes -- CNN
(CNN) -- The latest ISIS-appointed governor of Mosul was killed in coalition airstrikes on Thursday, according to Iraqi police.
Hassan Hassan Saeed Al-Jabouri, also known as Abu Taluut, was killed 18 miles south of Mosul in the village of Qayyara, according to Maj. Gen. Watheq Al-Hamdani, a senior regional Iraqi police commander who is leading the government's efforts to retake Mosul from ISIS.
Jabouri is the second ISIS-appointed governor of Mosul killed by airstrikes and had been in office for less than 25 days.
Earlier this month, U.S. airstrikes killed one of his predecessors, Radwan Taleb Al-Hamdouni, according to U.S. security officials.

I am thinking ISIS will be ousted from Mosul by May (sometime in may).
They have not taken Kobani. Instead it is a manpower sink for them. Talking about manpower they really do not have woman power so they are down 50% to begin with.
The Kurds are in Sinjar and gaining ground. Remains to be seen if ISIS has a counter offensive.
Question is will the U.S. chase ISIS into Syria. I don't think so. That would help the Russia-Iran axis too much and Obama does not have the temperament.
Still don't know how many jihadis are still crossing into Syria from Turkey.
Regardless if they are kicked out they will regroup.
