ISIS governor killed in Tal Afar
2015-09-07
[Rudaw] The US led coalition carried out Arclight airstrikes on ISIS positions in Tal Afar on Saturday, reportedly killing the ISIS governor of the Jazira region bridging northern Syria and Iraq.

Issa Zewai, the commander of the 4th Peshmerga Brigade on the Shingal front, told Rudaw that "lately the US coalition war planes have intensified their attacks on ISIS military bases and positions, destroying ISIS vehicles and targeting a strategic line where ISIS attacks Peshmerga by directing mortar shells."

Zewai added that during the coalition Arclight airstrikes many ISIS fighters were reportedly killed, including Hazm Klash, the Jazira governor.

#2  Questions:
Have we decided to hit IS training sites yet? Given this absurd strategy in the ME will someone tell me who in the Pentagon is its author?
Of the 5,000 US forces in Iraq where are they? How many are in the Green Zone or sucking up beers in Irbil?
Doesn't it seem we are just going through the motions until Obama departs the White House?
