In his speech this week, President Obama said:
Last month, I ordered our military to take targeted action against ISIL to stop its advances. Since then, we have conducted more than 150 successful airstrikes in Iraq.
He made it sound like a big deal … and built on the point, saying that the air strikes would continue across a wider target area. Possibly extending into Syria.

Works out to about 5 missions per day … which doesn’t strike me as up there with shock & awe.
But, I wanted to put 5-a-day in context and got some counsel from a friend…
