#2 You noticed that too. About two weeks ago the reporter slipped and allowed that some attacks were carried out by drones. Since we are trying to crawl on our bellies in the hope that Turkey, our totally undependable "ally", will let us use its Incirlik airbase, the report also gave away the fact that the attacks were initiated from a drone base in Kurdistan. Of the 31 strikes, I would estimate that 12 were carried out by drones, and thus the 19 manned aircraft attacks you noted is still SOP.
