Sources tell nbc news this was basically a double strike by the same war planes and the same pilots. Common in warfare. You tropical some bombs. You reassess. You come back. You to it again. So it is a double strike. Not really a double set of strikes. At least according to the information nbc news is getting. A lot of people here in washington, especially officials,realize a line has been crossed. The air strikes made history. The first u. S. Combat action in iraq since 2011. The pilots cirqueled back and struck again. The target was isis fighters moving towards erbil, the capital of iraqi kurds, u. S. Allies. American diplomats and military advisors are there. Top priority of the United States is the security of our people. We have people in erbil, and if we see an advance, well hit it. Isis is now a big army, well armed and motivated. Can some bombing make a difference. Were not in the area. I dont think we know what were doing. President obama promised no u. S. Troops on the ground
