US, allies conduct 21 air strikes in Iraq, Syria
2015-05-20
[Ynet] The United States and its allies conducted 21 air strikes since early on Monday targeting 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
forces of Evil in Syria and Iraq, the Combined Joint Task Force carrying out the operations said on Tuesday.

In Iraq, four air strikes destroyed vehicles and an excavator near Ramadi, which Islamic State recently captured. The other 10 strikes in Iraq hit near Bayji, Sinjar, Fallujah and other towns.

It smirks, and digs trenches and berms.
It moils through the miles
While massaging your piles
And dispenses with stenches and germs.

#1  Air power does not occupy ground. There has to be boots on the ground [that don't run away or are abandoned by their wearers]. Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
