I've found this source credible in the past. They are conservative in reporting statistics. At times understating their statistics, but never guilty of wild numbers they report.

I see nothing in this report that I would dispute. There are a number of background things that are being discussed in some circles that are not touched upon here. But it is informative.

Kill ISIS and go home...that is the mission.

Not this nebulus 'avoid a vacuum' bullshit.
