I am not sure of the point of this post. Anyone expecting BODIES from this bombing will be dissapointed.
These attacks were utilitarian but also symbolic in a big way. The coalition DID KNOW that scattering had taken place when the bombing began in Iraq and that further would follow. The mission was HARD targets....buildings infrastructures, etc.
Wish folks who quote others would follow the rules and give links or some sort of accreditation so we can see things in context.
"Citing the ongoing operations, Kirby said the Pentagon would not provide additional details immediately. But a U.S. military official said the strikes are meant to target the ability of ISIS to command and control, resupply and train."
