Recently the Obama administration was crowing loudly about its success in vaporizing a single, notoriously vicious jihadist with a well-placed Hellfire missile. Mohammed Emwazi was a British citizen who not only joined the jihadist movement, but became one of its leading public executioners, quickly dubbed by the media Jihadi John. John had no qualms about publicly incriminating himself in widely distributed videos showing him sawing off the heads of helpless kneeling victims. His flair for such bloody publicity placed him at the very top of the high-value targets list and resulted in his mission as a fervent executioner for ISIS being abruptly truncated last week, according to U.S. authorities. Since John earned his own execution by drone missile last week, the Obama administration has been basking in the warm glow of his fiery demise, citing the event as evidence that its strategy for combatting ISIS is effective.
And therein lies the problem. In its article relating John's demise, the U.K.'s Daily Mail includes a photograph that pretty much sums up the slapdash aspects of Obama's strategy of going after newsworthy targets rather than those that are truly significant in terms of reducing the jihadis' ability to wage war. View for a moment this aerial photo from the Mail's article.
Note that the location of the drone strike on Jihadi John appears to be but a few city blocks from a large building marked "ISIS Main HQ." Does the question not immediately arise in your mind why we would target a specific human enemy and yet leave perhaps hundreds of them alive and well to continue to conduct their war against us?
Will you please explain this strategy, Mr. Commander-in Chief?

Islam is a religion of peace.
The American air war against ISIS has been faked. Our people in the region know it. Russia knows it.
We are stuck with an enemy islamist leader and an equally complicit Congress that refuses to do anything about him.
“Will you please explain this strategy, Mr. Commander-in Chief?”
Why is it standing today? You have the French and half the free world now engaged in a war with ISIS and yet the building still stands. Why?
Perhaps the Jihad serves the new world order hmm?
That entire picture should show piles of smoking rubble all over it. Hopefully Putin is taking care of it.

Easy, he wants to look like he’s doing something to stop ISIS but he doesn’t actually want to stop them.
What, and be called "racist" by the media?
Oh. Their feelings would be hurt.
Eff them all.
It would be so straightforward to have a couple of B1-Bs dial-in a dozen or so 2000 pound JDAMs to hit simultaneously.
Done, next target please.
Unfortunately we are stuck with this bastard for 13 more months!!
Why? Because he’s muslim and has said from day one he will stand by his muslim brothers.
Bring back arc light. Never know what hit them.
