| [Ynet] The United States and its allies targeted Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... turbans with 22 air strikes in Iraq on Friday and nine in Syria, the Command Joint Task Force said on Saturday. Seven of the attacks were near the Iraqi city of Fallujah and hit bridges, a bomb-making facility and other targets. The strikes in Iraq were near the cities of Al Huwayjah, Bayji, Habbaniyah, Makmur, djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Ramadi, Sinjar and Tel Afar and hit tactical units, weapons and other assets. In Syria, fighting positions, tactical units and equipment were targeted in strikes near Al Hasakah, Ar Raqqah, Dayr Az and Kobani, a statement said. |

| #2 You noticed that too. About two weeks ago the reporter slipped and allowed that some attacks were carried out by drones. Since we are trying to crawl on our bellies in the hope that Turkey, our totally undependable "ally", will let us use its Incirlik airbase, the report also gave away the fact that the attacks were initiated from a drone base in Kurdistan. Of the 31 strikes, I would estimate that 12 were carried out by drones, and thus the 19 manned aircraft attacks you noted is still SOP. |
