I saw that yesterday. Highly selective air strikes. Looks like we got the group that attacked the Kenyan embassy.

That attack makes sense, and I will not argue with it!

We should do this more often....

But then that means more intelligence expenditures, more people in the armed forces flying around, waiting for targets. More collateral damage.

And then in the end, all they do is move to a forward base of operations where they can't be bombed (say, Syria, Iran, even Israel....)

I think I know what you mean, but an opinion why?

It's called "get them now, one day, huge strike, take out as many targets as possible".

Why not? Are they immune?

If only Afghanistan could have resolved that quickly.
