Ummm...No.
You haven't been paying attention. The Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan have been begging the U.S. to stop the escalated drone wars.
The President of Chechnya just begged the U.S. to not initiate a drone war there.
In Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria jihadis and their Imams are begging the U.S. to stop the drone wars.
If you don't know about it, it just means that you haven't been paying attention to the changes in the world over the past 8 years.
The U.S. finally found the jihadis' fear-button, and we are pressing said button daily.
Ain't no one in Chechnya gonna come *close* to bragging about these Boston jihadist murders from the bombings and shoot outs because THEY DON'T WANT TO GET THEIR A$$3$ BOMBED!
It turns out that all of that talk about jihadis "never fearing death" is just bluster. They didn't mean it.
Around the world they are begging the U.S. to stop the drone wars because they fear the instant death from above taking them out after a computer ID's them.
Things are different now.
...just maybe you noticed that no one took responsibility for the marathon bombing?!
Now you know why.
You make a great point! I sure hope you’re right.
I sure would appreciate a link to some of that “begging the US to stop the drone war” stuff you mention.
Ummm... No...
Why would they fear drone strikes in the USA?
