#1 Air strikes followed by ground troops 'mop up' is the road to success on the battlefield. If you own the air, owning the ground is much, much easier.

#2 I wonder if there would have been 88 ISIS troops announced as killed by airstrike had the strike been conducted by the US? Or would it have been 8 ISIS troops and 800 innocent women and children?

#3 It's Iraq - the body count was probably half that.
