| 2015-08-28 |
| [AlAhram] A coalition led by the United States pummeled 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.... targets in Iraq on Wednesday with 21 air strikes concentrated near the cities of Baji and Tuz, according to a statement released on Thursday. Five strikes near Baiji denied the Death Eater group "an avenue of approach" and destroyed 19 of its buildings as well as vehicles, a mortar system and a weapons cache, the Combined Joint Task Force said in the statement. Six strikes near Tuz destroyed Islamic State fighting positions and a vehicle. Other strikes in Iraq targeted the group near Falluja, Kisik, djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Ramadi, Sinjar, and Sultan Abdallah. The coalition also conducted four strikes in Syria, with three near Al Hawl destroying Islamic State bunkers and an excavator. |

| #3 Seems to me that if the sorties can actually be counted, there aren't enough. I vote for the Aluminum Overcast to be implemented. |
