The US along with Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia .... have started bombing ISIS targets in Syria. Reports indicate that the targets included command and control centers, training camps, and weapons depots. The Syrian government was not notified that these airstrikes would happen today.
Apparently the Ar-Raqqah Governor's building, the headquarters of ISIS, was destroyed in these airstrikes on Monday (see below video of the attack).
ISIS has apparently instructed its fighters to leave their headquarters in ar-Raqqah and to flee into the rural areas.
As to what's my take of the situation .... we are now directly involved in Syria's sectarian civil war.

How important is a building?
If ISIS leaders cannot use this building to meet or for an admin center ca not they use anther building?
These strike will matter in the U.S. elections.
These strikes will matter to the ground war if they continue. At least I believe it.
Still since strikes have started ISIS has gained ground northwest of Fallujah and gained a serious amount of ground against the Syrian Kurds.
I always here about the need to arm the FSA and the Iraqi Kurds, but I do not hear about arming Syrian Kurds.
The Syrian Kurds "were" positioned to interdict the routes between Mosul and Ar Raqah.
Helping the Kurds in general must not be sexy like arming the Arabs.
Maybe if we armed the Kurds the Arabs or Turks will be mad at us, so we must keep them weak,.
