Next potus will probably do the same thing. Maybe it'll become commonplace now. New potus, switch out the brass.Originally posted by LANTIRN View PostWHComment

It is good Jordan is increasing their involvement, but that 7k number is the total for all coalition strikes since the end of September.Last edited by NoClassic; 02-09-2015, 12:59 AM.Comment

No one can get their shit right. One place says this:Originally posted by NoClassic View Post
"more than 7,000 Isis militants have been killed since Jordan began participating in coalition air strikes."
"On the first day of the campaign to avenge our airman Maaz al-Kassasbeh, 19 targets were destroyed, including training camps and equipment,”
- Jordanian air force chief Major General Mansour al-Jobour
Another says this:
"General al-Jabour said that coalition warplanes have flown on over 5,500 missions since the campaign against Isis began, including 2,000 reconnaissance flights. He confirmed that Jordan had participated in almost 20 per cent of the airstrikes. The general added that about 7,000 militants have been killed as a result of the coalition campaign."
Either way, Jordan has launched 56 air strikes in three days.Comment

Jordan joined the airstrikes much longer than 3 days ago...that's probably the confusion.Comment
