the eradication of leaders and group infrastructure is necessary as it is a threat to peace. Yet I will NOT give any kudos to the madmen in the WH who would risk total war as proof of their ability to shape the world in their RW image. Have fun with your warlike dreams and fantasies...ever been in an after-action debrief? If so, when?

Tomahawks, much better. Siglint and humint, much better as finding ways to eradicate leadership. You don't care about the people that ISIS subjugates and are in the way of you and 'mad dog' mattis? Or are they just collateral damage on the way to victory?
