Three senior members of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) - including an aide to its leader - were killed in a U.S. airstrike in Iraq, a senior Iraqi security official told NBC News Thursday. The strike on the ISIS stronghold of Mosul killed Abu Hajar Al-Sufi, an aide to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as well as an explosives operative and the military leader of nearby Tel Afar, the source said on condition of anonymity. Al Arabiya cited the Iraqi Defense Ministry saying Baghdadi's aide had been killed.

We got the secretary, we got the secretary! /S

Seems like O and crew are desperate for any little straw of positive news, and don’t mind giving up intelligence info for a scrap of short-term positive publicity.

I'm wondering (hoping maybe) that the US military and some others are keeping Obama out of the loop and doing what needs to be done.

The military got the maniacs out of power in Egypt, so I'd think it's doable.

Why do I get the feeling that before every strike omamination is on the phone telling habib where and when the strikes will be?

I’m gonna guess that the setups and strikes happen too fast for the Grand Kenyan to have a chance to warn off his cousins. But don’t you just love the basic notion that every time one of these goat humpers picks up a cell phone he goes to Virgin-—ia. It’s more spectacular than just a lithium battery going off in their ear.

I’m not sure if we’re using drones to pickup phone traffic but we should be. And the same basic tech that Iron Dome uses could put fire right where the call came from before the phone hangs up. Any body want to bet me that Bagduddy hasn’t personally made a phone call in months? I expect he tells his camel boy to go make the call——over there!

Just a small step! Kill another 10,000 and their insane serial killer leaders to speed up the process.

Then, put a $10,000 bounty for each severed head of any ISIS serial killer.

To paraphrase Douglas MacAruthur “Targeted assassination is no substitute for victory”.

The “policing” of terrorists by hitting leaders is feel good whether Bush 43 or Obama do it.

WAR YES, POLICING NO......
