| Kurdish militias in northern Syria continued to clash with Islamic State militants on Monday as coalition forces capped off their first week of airstrikes with fresh attacks on militant positions in Syria and Iraq. U.S. jets and drones, along with Arab-allied planes, hit a staging area near a Syrian grain storage site, officials said Monday, one of 11 targets hit as part of the effort to rollback Islamic State battlefield victories. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported civilian casualties in the attack on the grain silo near the town of Manbij. Coalition forces appeared to also hit Islamic State targets in Aleppo, Raqqa, Hassakeh and Deir el-Zour provinces, the group said. |

| #3 #2 thats iff the US-Allies can destroy, not just siolate or contain, the ISIS aka ISIL in Syria + Iraq. FYI as per CNN, the Kurds are claiming that they are gener or typically "outgunned" by the ISIS, + are once again requesting both expanded US arms shipments as well as more Airstrikes. * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > KURD TROOPS ATTACK IRAQ JIHADISTS ON THREE FRONTS | THE DAILY STAR. |

| #2 The end-game is an independent Republic of Kurdistan in the north; a Shiite state in the south with capital at one of the holy sites; a Sunni state in the center and west, and the internationalization of Baghdad city. |
