Or at least US House Rep. Brad Sherman does.
Mosul was seized by the Islamic State in June 2014.
The Iraqi government has been unable/unwilling to liberate it.
So all this time later, Mosul remains in the hands of the Islamic State.
But rest assured, Brad Sherman is on the job.
Last Wednesday, during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, Sherman felt the need to pontificate to Barack Obama's Special Envoy Brett McGurk.
About?
Mosul.
Brad's bothered, you understand, by the electricity.
Why, he wanted to know, was the Iraqi government supplying civilians in Mosul with electricity?
Brad would just cut it off.
They've been occupied for almost two years.
Could be for two more years more as far as anyone knows.
But it don't bother Brad.
He also didn't understand why more bombs were not being dropped by the US and why, specifically, Mosul wasn't being bombed.
"Civilians!" the world collectively screams back.
Oh, Brad didn't forget about them.
He just doesn't give a damn about them.
Why when France was occupied, he insisted, the allies killed at least 90,000 civilians while they bombed.
Brad Sherman is deeply disturbed.
