Precision bombing won't help with that. Mosul is also densely populated and even light bombs proved very destructive (and ineffective at killing ISIS fighters).
Not really. It shows that urban warfare will still lead to thousands of civilian casualties, even if taking all feasible measures to avoid them. Worse, these measures can actually lead to more and not less destruction.
And this comes from an American bombing done by a Dem President, the one you're holding up as the standard to follow right now.
