Kurd and Yazidi forces, backed by U.S. air power, try to take Sinjar town from Islamic State

Why am I seeing details about this operation while it's still underway? [shaking her head]  Pundita, just let it go. 

Here's a combined report from Associated Press, Reuters, and NBC News, filed at 12:12am ET today. There are probably more recent ones out there. Over and out for the day. Maybe for the rest of the year. All right, let it go. It's possible they're feeding phony details. 

But that would require putting thinking over PR. Pundita. Stop it. Just stop it. Now wish them well. 

I hope and pray the operation is a smashing success.
