Alwaght- USA continues to escalate its aerial campaign against ISIS terrorist group, shifting more attack and surveillance aircraft from Afghanistan to a base in Kuwait .
Military officials say that a dozen A-10 ground-attack planes have been moved from Afghanistan to Kuwait to strike ISIS militants, the New York Times reports .
Half a dozen missile-firing Reaper drones, reportedly, are also expected to be redeployed from Afghanistan to be used in the war against ISIS .
Washington has previously ensured Kabul that the US military equipment and weapons, used by its combat mission in Afghanistan, will stay in the country to be employed by the Afghan army and law enforcement, according to the official. An Afghan presidential administration official added that the country planned to use it in strengthening its fighting capabilities against Taliban forces in the country's south. But the US prepares to transfer most of its weapons, vehicles, and other equipment, after being more than a decade in Afghanistan, to different locations such as Kuwait and Ukraine, where the bill for the move will be a staggering $6bn, officers in charge of the complex process say .
However, as the US steps up the air campaign against the ISIS terrorist organization, military planners are finding it increasingly more difficult to pick up targets for the American air power .
“When we target a nation-state, we’ve typically been looking at their capability for decades, and have extensive target sets,” said Maj. Sonny Alberdeston, the targeting chief at an Air Force base in South Carolina, where military planners analyze and select targets that US and coalition warplanes strike in Iraq and Syria .
“But these guys are moving around. They can be in one place, and then a week later, they’re gone,” Alberdeston told the Times .
The allied warplanes have carried out nearly 1, 080 airstrikes in Iraq and Syria since the bombing campaign began on August 8, according to US Central Command .
But the question remains, as US bombs Iraq and Syria, who exactly is being killed ?
Pentagon provides scant information about people dying at its hands, while reports of civilian casualties emerge from the ground .
US –led airstrikes against ISIS in Syria have killed nearly 1,200 people ‒ including 52 civilians ‒ and wounded at least 800 others at a cost of more than $1 billion since the bombings began in September .
There is no doubt that wherever Washington sets its eyes on, violence and insecurity occurs. This has been previously seen in the events of U.S occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the destruction of those countries that U.S had laid its hands on .
The US's strive to interfere as much as it can in the region of West Asia has no limits. President Barack Obama has authorized dispatching up to 1,500 forces to Iraq, nearly doubling the planned US troop presence there .
Some experts think that with doubling the US troops in Iraq the trouble is double in the region, describing the US policies as the main cause of violence and insecurity in West Asia .
