US has sounded the death knell for senior ISIS leaders in Syria

The cold blooded murder of US journalist James Foley has stirred up a hornet’s nest and the US is believed to be considering conducting air strikes aimed at eliminating individual leaders of the Islamic State theguardian.com. Simultaneously, Turkey is being pressurized to stem the flow of jihadists across its border and into Syria.
The time necessary to mount strikes at high-value targets, such as individual leaders, could be an hour, or "as much as a week". US officials are reportedly discussing the possibility of mounting unmanned drone strikes on ISIS leaders, as had been done in Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.
Senior British politicians have urged Ankara to take necessary actions to block recruits from the UK and other countries from entering Syria via Turkey – this is their preferred route to join up with the Islamic State (formerly ISIS).
Reports indicate that large numbers of ISIS jihadists were trying to secure greater control of the border area, pushing northwards in armored trucks that they have looted from abandoned Iraqi military bases.
The game plan of ISIS is clear – it wants to establish dominance in the area to make it easier for potential recruits to gain safe passage and to allow the movement of vital supplies, including weapons and oil. Incidentally, this route has been used by most of the foreign fighters who have joined the cause, especially by several hundred of those who have joined ISIS from the UK.
