The forces need to go house to house and sweep Ragga. Take no prisoners. Whenever they find them, take them out to a wall and execute them.

RE: Thought we were going to kill them.

There it is in the first paragraph:
>BR> The US-led coalition now estimates that 2500 ISIS fighters remain in Raqqa — and that they won’t go anywhere else. CBS News quotes Brett McGurk, the envoy for the anti-ISIS fight, as saying that the US intends to make sure every last one of them dies in the so-called capital of the so-called Islamic State.

The correct response is to level the city. Maddog Mattis is too much bark not enough bite for the correct procedure.

Just take no prisoners. Taunt them as the battle moves along. Loudspeakers on the tanks. Can’t they drop them off and send the music by wi-fi?
