This fall’s under Bush II’s quote: “I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.”

What a pathetic Kabuki theater. I understand that ISIS has buildings that are headquarters, etc. Just why are they still standing? What a crock.

The UK pilots fly in fewer numbers than were sent to escort B-17 flights over Europe, in fewer flights than leave a single major civilian airport in a day, and pack weapons that are generally hideously overpriced rockets or a pitifully few bombs. And don’t forget they have to play ‘mother may I shoot’ every time they want to do something more lethal than flip the bird.

I can’t really bring myself to blame the pilots.

This is an expensive way to wage war.
