I'll reserve my enthusiasm for real results.

How long before ISIS captures them?

[W.]

Does Israel have any neutron warheads in their inventory, I wonder?

[jagusafr]

I see the death of their Brigadier General in a training accident a couple of months ago hasn’t put a damper on their enthusiasm for the Fighting Falcon. We’ll see how long the current airframes last.

[rbg81]

Did the jets actually take off? Or did they just try to ram them into ISIS positions?

[BenLurkin]

Are they being flown by Iraqis?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

If this is true, and think it is for several reasons, the Iraqi Air Force would have carried out more air raids against ISIS in 4 days than the US did in a week or more.

ALso, Iraqi pilots would have been trained by US personnel, so they know that they are a very important tactical weapon against ISIS, and can make a difference to their forces on the ground.

Sort of like our Flying Tigers did in China at the beginning of WW2.

[DoughtyOne]

So will I.
I do hope this will have a favorable outcome.

“Smart weapons” were used in the strikes, Amin said, without specifying the type.

Yeah, they were dropping sand bags with a return address and pre-paid shipping. So much for 'smart weapons'...........
