| US, Allies Conduct Seven Strikes On Islamic State In Iraq, Syria |
| 2014-11-03 |
| [Ynet] US military forces staged seven air strikes on 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.... targets in Syria on Saturday and Sunday and were joined by allies in two more attacks in Iraq, the US Central Command said. In Syria, US attack, fighter and bomber aircraft again focused on the Kobani area with five strikes that hit five small Islamic State units. Two strikes southeast of Dayr Az Zawr also destroyed an Islamic State tank and vehicle shelters, Central Command said. US and partner nations hit small Islamic State units near the Iraqi cities of Bayji and Fallujah. |

| #21 Correction, Al Qaeda fighters being taken out by Zagros rifles. Agreed. Arm the Kurds. They sent out a message yesterday to the world saying they will be glad to use their battles against ISIS and Al Qaeda (Kurdish Guinea Pigs) as testing grounds for new weapons of all types. |

| #19 Get those people some artillery. And a few TOW would be nice. How about this? We had a ton of old Dragon ATGM in depot controlled storage, if we still have them, why not package all of them up and give them to the Kurds? I'm sure the Kurds will find a use for them, and we dont have to pay for storage and eventual HAZMAT disposal. Or get the Jordanians or Thai Army to ship theirs (If they still have them in current inventory) over in exchange for Javelins (US gets weapon sales, Jordanian army get new gear, Kurds get better weapons thanm what they have... Win-Win). The Dragon's notoriously insufficient range (for tank fighting in open country) is not an issue in these urban fights, And they could double as a bunker buster. Just a thought. |

| #18 Thanks Besoeker These rifles with the extremely long barrels in the picture below are homemade sniper rifles made by the Kurdish YPG known as "Zagros Rifles".  This is the damage Kurdish snipers are doing to ISIS via captured ISIS videos being taken out possibly by the Kurdish snipers, some believed to be using Zagros Rifles. |

| #16 Nice vid Ebb. Looks like the tank got suckered into a complex attack. I was hoping the guy with the RPG would flank the T-72 and get good shot in. The cameraman [or person] had some real nads. |

| #14 To the right of the tank that is a destroyed ISIS pickup with a Dushka mounted on it. The tank came up to try to take on those who destroyed the ISIS Dushka. |

| #13 Yesterday I mentioned I had found several street battle videos but did not post them. This is a month old but at the 5:57 mark of this video you can hear YPJ female fighters ululating as they work with YPG fighters with RPGS who are destroying an ISIS tank. It is said that when ISIS fighters hear confident Kurdish YPJ female warriors ululate in the battle zones, ISIS fighters begin to tremble. |

| #1 Hot dog, seven strikes? Geez, I called in that many in one afternoon as a second looey. I am just awe-struck at the overwhelming force we are applying to ISIS. |
