| 2015-12-13 |
| [Ynet] The United States and its allies targeted 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... with 12 strikes in Iraq and five in Syria on Friday, the US military said. Four of the strikes in Iraq hit Islamic State tactical units, three fighting positions and destroyed a machine gun position near djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , a statement issued on Saturday said. In Syria, four of the strikes were near Mar'a and damaged four Islamic State buildings. |

| #1 Oh, good - that means there's seven more airstrikes available for later in the month - or for Tuesday, after Mr. Obama's visit to the Pentagon. |
