Children collect items from among the debris of a school for the deaf and mute, destroyed in what activists said were overnight U.S.-led air strikes against the Islamic State, in Raqqa November 24, 2014. Raqqa, in eastern Syria, is controlled by the Islamic State. The United States and its allies have conducted two dozen strikes against Islamic State militants since Friday, launching nine strikes in Syria and 15 strikes in Iraq, according to U.S. Central Command.
At least 30 airstrikes carried out by the U.S.-led coalition have struck the city of Raqqa in Syria, in some of the heaviest attacks on terror group ISIS' stronghold in the country. Meanwhile, at least 50 militants were killed in the ongoing battle for the border town of Kobane near Turkey.
CNN reported of several activist groups that have shared information about the airstrikes in Raqqa, which has been the sight of much fighting in recent months. Last week, at least 100 people were killed in the stronghold following airstrikes carried out by the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who's also battling ISIS but is not aligned with the U.S.-led coalition

Raqqa is ISIS’s Berlin.
FLATTEN IT.
Iron bombs. Incendiaries. Napalm. The works.
Killing 50 of them is nice, but let’s remember this — THOUSANDS are signing up to join ISIS every month!!
How do they confirm these deaths or is it just estimation and hope?
Pray America is waking
How 'bout a Daisy Cutter?
or a teeny-tiny tactical nuke?
They just sifted through the dead deaf and mute kids and their dead puppies to do an estimate!
The Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire had a napalm precursor, Greek fire, that they used with success against the Moslems.
I wonder how the Sultan actually feels about these air strikes. It is pretty certain that they were begun without his immediate knowledge and handed to him as a fait accompli. The fact that they are slowly ramping up seems to suggest that this is not what he wants to happen at all because it is harder to call it off than if there had been a major bombing effort at the beginning. In that case he would have declared Victory publicly ordered a stand-down and started cleaning military house in earnest.
Is usually not the truth.
We have outlawed napalm because of the little naked girl in Vietnam.
Sounds like Ye Olde Vietnam Body Count making a comeback - a useless, fraudulent stat that made victory seem near...
We have the tools, but won't use them.
