With firm resolve and quiet efficiency, Obama's strategy to take out ISIL terrorists continues unabated. With little braggado or chest-thumping, our military forces continue to get the job done. Nice work!
Key Islamic State leader 'killed in coalition air strike in Iraq's Anbar province'

Abu Waheeb, the leader Islamis State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) in Anbar province, has been killed in a coalition air strike, the Pentagon said on Monday.
Waheeb, who used to be a member of the Al-Qaeda in Iraq group, was killed in a raid on Friday, according to the Pentagon.
“On May 6, a coalition air strike targeted Abu Waheeb, Isil’s military emir for Anbar province and a former member of Al-Qaeda in Iraq who has appeared in Isil execution videos,” Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said.
The death of Abu Waheeb, given his senior role in military planning in Anbar, will impede Isil's ability to conduct operations in the western province, Cook said.
"ISIL leadership has been hit hard by coalition efforts and this is another example of that," Cook said. "It is dangerous to be an ISIL leader in Iraq and Syria these days, and for good reason."
