I see that you disagree, JJ1913, but it's not a matter of opinion. According to the UN figures, The USA-coalition assault in Mosul, Iraq is currently causing more than double the weekly civilian casualties (over 600 per week on average) as were caused throughout the Aleppo campaign. In fact, G&M and other West news media were only going so hard on hyping the Aleppo conflict and its casualties as a distraction and cover from the worse conflict that the USA was, and still is waging in Mosul, Iraq.
