U.S. leads 23 air strikes against Islamic State
2015-11-26
Back to the usual range.
[AlAhram] The United States and its allies launched a fresh round of daily air strikes against 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....
on Tuesday, targeting the hard boy group with 18 strikes in Iraq and five in Syria, the U.S.-led coalition leading the operations said in a statement.

In Iraq, the strikes near 10 cities included six near Ramadi that hit five Islamic State tactical units as well as three fighting positions and five weapons caches, among other targets, the coalition said in the statement, released on Wednesday.

In Syria, five strikes near three cities also hit five tactical units and two fighting positions, it said.

#3  Just goes to show... you can have the most powerful military in the world, but if you skimp on photocopiers, you just can't get your warning leaflets reproduced fast enough.

Snark of the day.

But Russia accomplished that in twice the time, chris, so it isn't a fair comparison.
