Reuters: U.S. general sees air strikes against Islamic State picking up
U.S. and coalition forces are likely to increase air strikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria in coming weeks after a lull in September and October, the head of U.S. Air Forces Central Command said Saturday.
Lieutenant General Charles Brown told reporters at the Dubai International Air Chiefs Conference that the reduction in air strikes was due to weather and to a slowdown in activity on the ground and not due to the start of Russian air strikes in the region.
He said both government forces and insurgents were increasing their ground movements, which could create more opportunities for the United States and its allies to carry out more air strikes against Islamic State targets.

WNU Editor,
More and more the OIR looks like a "phoney" war, conducted for PR reasons.
Yeah exactly what l thought, must be magic storm that only obscures u.s targets.
Maybe Obama should put Putin in charge of u.s assests and see some results.
Its beacuse Russians dont care if they hit the intended target.
Thats all speculation they are most likley as accurate as anyone else.
Remember u.s reputation for colleteral damage is not great either.
Putin understands war obama does not.
S
I'll bet they'd bomb in all weather if there was an organised armed uprising in the U.S.
Yep
