The source he linked to is an opinion piece with neither of those numbers.

Reputable news sources list the number of terrorists killed in Syria alone at over 500 since airstrikes began in September and we've been bombing IS in Iraq since early August as well.

I don't know where he found the 350 number but I'm guessing it was just made up. The coalition has done somewhere over 632 air strikes in Iraq and Syria at this point and closer to 7k sorties (which includes intel flights, refueling, etc). The cost of all the bombs and fuels doesn't matter, the countries involved can afford it.

Here's links to actual news sources for those numbers:

My source may be outdated, but the ratio is still terrible : 500 kills for 7,000 sorties...
Daech troops are between 100 and 150,000 (yes I know, more than officialy announced).

[Umbra]

Implying they have the logistics to sustain 100-150k fighting men

And that they can deal with attrition in desertic regions... Must be like 4-5k max supply in summer!

I realize it wasn't evident from my post but I wrote that to emphasize that you're right, in a funny way.

Attrition% per month must be 15-ish. And ISIS as a whole don't even war weariness.

[Tovi]

The cost does matter, because the war is supposed to last 3 or 4 years (according to US statement).

Don't need to worry about a thing when you're accidentally being resupplied by your enemies
