Telegraph: Reports " US-led airstrikes kill 'hundreds' of Islamic State fighters in Kobane..Coalition airstikes on Islamic State fighters in Kobane helping push militants back from key border town "
Lets Get Real:
Some GOOD news from Kobane, even if its a tactical success in pushing IS out of Kobane, the Western voter wants to see success and fast, the increase of air attacks on IS has been a battleground success and a PR success, Obama has stated the War is in its early stages, thus there will be hundreds of more attacks on IS over the months and years. The question is what will IS do, will they gain the ability to shoot down Western and Allies planes, they have the money to get the weapons the black market and to be trained in their use. As of late the success of IS had seen been seen more in Iraq and Syria, while the Oval was going on abut its air plan, if the Oval can push back IS with air power alone then the strategic victory will be of benefit for POTUS and those calls for boots on the ground will be seen as hasty and not giving time for the Obama strategy to work. The next few days will be very interesting.
