BBC News: Reports " Kurdish fighters in northern Syria say they have captured a key town from Islamic State, just 50km (30 miles) from the group's headquarters at Raqqa. "
Lets Get Real:
This is good news from the Syrian front when it comes to IS, the Kurds with the help of US air forces are gaining ground once held by IS, it is a slow operation but with air cover the Kurds have the best chance of removing IS as a threat from Syria. The West and Kurds on on one side and Assad and Iran/Russia on the other should be able over time to kill IS and remove a threat from the Middle East and Europe. Although this is a victory, the West air forces should move to allow the Kurds to remove IS, thus the need for on ground forces to tell the pilots what to hit and when, but on the whole good news.
