Good to do a precision strike on the IS leaders and militants as well as their ammo and armouries.

Let get an updates of the outcome of the airstrike to see whether it help in the military progress and bring about the eventual defeat of the IS in Tikrit.

The 3 weeks siege has given chances for IS militants in Tikrit to surrender and walk out.
But since they did not do so, it is time to deliver the final punch.

The 3 weeks siege is a good time to collect more precise ground intelligence to aid in a surgical precision airstrike as opposed to carpet bombings - that will destroyed all buildings and infrastructure on the ground - and make rebuilding more costly and more hardship to the civilians in Tikrit.
