US, allies launch 18 air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq
2015-06-04
[Ynet] US and coalition forces conducted 18 air strikes targeting 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....
in 10 Iraqi cities since Tuesday morning, as well as four air strikes against the hard boy group in Syria, the US military said.

The strikes in Iraq destroyed Islamic State targets including buildings, fighting positions, tactical units, vehicles and heavy machine guns, the Combined Joint Task Force said in a statement Wednesday. Cities hit included Ramadi, recently captured by the hard boy group, Sinjar, Tal Afar, Baiji, Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
and Fallujah,
... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids...
it said.

The statement said the strikes in Syria destroyed six Islamic State fighting positions near Al Hasakah and an armored vehicle near Dayr Az Zawr, where they also hit a tactical unit.

#1  How many planes does this coalition effort have?

Two or three?

knocked out six positions and an armored vehicle.

Geez, Senator McCain in his former life as a jet jockey probably did that much before breakfast.
