Guardian: Reports " US-led coalition launched 29 air strikes against Isis on New Year's Eve...Fighters, bombs and aircraft attacked 17 targets in Syria and 12 in Iraq "
Lets Get Real:
In the next two years the US and the UK will have to place US/UK Special Forces in Iraq, the new Iraqi Army while starting to be built up and having success is no match for IS is such places as Mosul. In the house to house fighting in Mosul the air power of the Allies can not be used, thus it will be harder to rid Mosul of IS, the new Iraqi Army might want to take the fight to IS, but its better to give them time and then for them to have success, than run in and lose, Kobani should be lesson to ALL, that when it comes to towns and cities the Allies will have to use their forces, one wonders if the Oval Office is dreading the day when the call comes from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs for US forces to clear IS out of major populations areas. The decision to that call will decide how history writes about the Obama Era.
