Iraqi security forces and Shiite militiamen liberated the town of Amirli Sunday following a two-month siege by ISIS militants, officials told NBC News. The news comes hours after the Pentagon announced the U.S. military was conducting airstrikes and dropping humanitarian aid to the city at the request of the Iraqi government. "Amirli is liberated by the joint Iraqi forces," Hakim Al-Zamily, a Sadrist member of Parliament, said. "ISIS militants escaped from Amirli and the areas around."

ISIS can be rolled back with US and other nation's airpower and Iraqis and Kurds on the ground. This is the third example of it happening.

I hope the U.S. Aid Drops have started to use parachutes by now. Many of the early one’s didn’t, and only exploded upon impact, rendering them useless. Who was not thinking ahead to allow this to happen?
