#1 So who is the leader of the "Free World" now?

#2 If Raqqa is still standing, there is more work to be done. The U.S. provided intelligence? Why didn't we take out these targets if we knew these targets harbored ISIS resources? The truth of the matter is that we (U.S.) don't have a leader worth squat. The guy was a no-nothing, do-nothing who somehow found his way into the WH. Seems as if he is running cover for the radical Muslims.

#3 I would not be surprised to see a Russian airborne vertical envelopment of Raqqa. The next few days and weeks should be very interesting.

#6 #5 Why are the French bombing at night?

Not as many eyes to pinpoint the attack, not as much capacity to shoot back, and night terrors are more real for Arabs than Westerners. Personally, I think around-the-clock carpet-bombing would be more effective, but that's just me.

#7 OP, even a daylight full on Arclight would be pretty darn scary if you're on the receiving end.

Thermobaric bombs are also very effective.

#8 OK, how about a compromise: Thermobaric carpet bombing.
