Telling the enemy where and when you are coming is usually frowned on.

But, here, I wonder if it is not a ploy to draw ISIS into a battle of attrition that they cannot hope to win?

If they bugger out of Mosul, they will lose their shining rep among the more violent camel-fuckers and, if they mass to fight, they will be slaughtered in droves.

Hm.... that actually would work strategy wise its smart. Just tell them when and were you are striking and use that to lure them out.

to not be so suspicious use a decoy if they go after you strike hard and fast and they wont know what hit them.
