#1 As a military robot crept towards him and a dog was dispatched to subdue him, Baghdadi was confronted by a dead end.

#3 If the scale is right I measure 350 miles from Erbil to Barisha.
An arc path over Turkey would make it closer to 400 miles (that would be a two hour flight and close to the range of the Chinook).
They had to get gas or did they continue on to Incerlik air base.

#5 So weird to read a fact-based article in Al-Guardian about the US military, of all things, that does not take cheap shots at America. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop...and it never did. Major WTF.
