#3  String it out. Attract as many of them as you can and bomb them to pieces. Moan about how they are about to lose here or there right after making sure they are resupplied with artilley.

#2  Depends. If the IS is still getting foreign-sourced cannon-fodder, it could be a while.

My take is that the IS leadership is not unified; there are likely separate commands for Syria and Iraq. If reports about al Baghdadi having to visit Mosul, and reports of in-fighting between imported muscle and Baath leadership are true, then the IS situation in Iraq is not good.

#1  We seem to be killing a lot of these rats lately, any idea when the drain on their manpower will start to show on their ability to conduct operations in the field?
