These should be happening daily (multiple times on target rich days). An even more aggressive approach to these strikes along with hunter / killer Ops should be put in place for the next 60 days. Come hell or high water we should make AQ HVTs scurry or be killed.

I don’t find any info online about al-Misri (or al-Masri). I wish the DOD would put out some intel on these guys so I knew who they were killing.
