| 2016-03-06 |
| [AlAhram] 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.... (IS) group turbans in Iraq with 12 strikes on Friday and two in Syria, the US military said on Saturday. Two of the strikes in Iraq were near Ramadi, hitting two IS tactical units and a tunnel. One of the strikes in Syria destroyed two IS fighting positions near Palmyra, the military said. |

| #1 When I was in, a "fighting position" was a hole with some sandbags. If you had time and the inclination, you might have more sandbags and...overhead cover. Two guys in it. Hope the ordnance they used wasn't real expensive. |
