Granted there had been only two reported airstrikes on ISIS forces in Iraq at the time of the report, but Fox News conveyed this morning that ISIS actually “expanded their drive near Iraqi Kurdistan Saturday.”
The Islamic militants reportedly expanded their drive near Iraqi Kurdistan Saturday despite two U.S. airstrikes aimed at mortar positions and a seven-vehicle convoy to stop the advance on Kurdish capital of Irbil.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the militants appear to have their sights on connecting towns seized along the Kurdish-control territory. The most recent town to be seized was identified as Sheikhan.
Tammy Bruce wasn’t the only one surprised by the news.

@HeyTammyBruce @Ledamaae @allahpundit U don't send in two planes, you carpet bomb them. Close the roads to them in total, not 1 small convoy

@HeyTammyBruce @AdamBaldwin @allahpundit I don't know why anyone expected them NOT to advance, as the mission was to help the refugees.

@HeyTammyBruce @AdamBaldwin @allahpundit 2 rounds? They dropped like 8 bombs total. Barely a dent in IS.
