While I sincerely wish your optimistic confidence in our Intelligence and Special Ops communities was justified, I don't perceive that to be the case.

I can hope I am wrong.

Wishes and hopes won't change what is happening, and what will happen next.

The lunatics are now in charge of the asylum.

Until the Congress is prepared to declare war, I’m all in for reprisals as the right way to handle these rogue regimes. The advantage of having a head of this movement, this caliphate, is that the head can be cut off....again and again until they get the message: “Don’t tread on me”.

I agree that our current administration is a disaster, but even with that, better they screw up a reprisal than a war.
