The biggest problem now, is ya, they're out of the easy sitting targets, so now they need Iraqi troops trained to properly call in strikes as they need them in battle.

we knew that was going to happen, these airstrikes are going to be based around close air support more them taking out logistical targets and bases. Frankly once you strip away their oil fields and refineries, take out their fuel and ammo dumps, most of these clowns are living out of a back pack in the field. The only time you're going to get an opportunity is when they're on the offensive and not intermixed with civilians.
The next intelligent thing to do is watch to see if ISIL acquires more advanced man portable SAM hardware, If they do then you start going after their weapons pipelines.
