ISIS update

The recent U.S. air strikes have said to have killed two top level and one middle level ISIS Leaders. The leaders were "haji Mutazz was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's deputy in Iraq; Abd al Basit was his military emir in Iraq; and Radwan Talib was his Mosul emir"(cnn). It is said that their deaths resulted from air strikes is November, but weren't conclusive until recently. The pentagons press secretary said that it is believed that this is event will be weaken Isis command and control

In addition, President Barack Obama signed deployment orders yesterday for 1,300 troops to Iraq. This is the lion's share of the 1,500 additional troops he authorized last month. By February, the U.S. will have roughly 3,000 U.S. troops on the ground. This is a drastic change from when the president stated that no troops would be on the ground.

I mean for all those innocent lives that were ended by results of US air strikes , I guess it was good that It killed Isis members instead of all of that being done for nothing.
