#1 6000. That wouldn't have even been a bad day in WW II.

#2 Impressive yes, but not celebratory. The cost to include the butcher's bill per Jihadi is very, very high. This type of warfare vs the Dresden or Schweinfurt approach, requires a herculean effort of manpower and investigative resources which I am not certain this country is willing or capable of sustaining. Radical Islam, Jihad, drug war in the Stans or whatever you'd prefer to label it is a cultural HIV with no known cure, save one. Hat tip the operators and people behind the scenes.
