Problem with that is we spent a long while getting the intel on each of these clowns - and knowing how they think. The only thing Wack-a-Mole has done is to insure we had no idea for a period of time who the hell had taken the last clown's place - and often finding that there is a price to be paid in that we do not know what his move will be. Wack-a-mole works when going against a small terrorist group... but this is a global insurgency - as is AQ - and though we added many a name to the Red X list.... we still have not gained the initiative yet.

LTC Eric Udouj - Sir, I watched last part of the movie Eye in the Sky flying to my last drill and it showed drone pilots in an air conditioned Small CHU/Seacan at Nellis working with British and American Forces and Civilian leaders.

does not want to fire because a girl is selling just outside where 3 suicide bombers
are getting their vests fitted before their terror mission.
