I’m glad John McCain wasn’t caught in the airstrike.

The real prize is Ayman al-Zawahiri. His days are numbered and he knows it as he has not shown his face in years. What about that one-eyed Taliban leader in Afghanistan who looted a bank for millions and suddenly disappeared? He is on the list as well.

Hermann Goring, the No. 2 man for the NSDAP party in Germany, behind leader Adolph Hitler, has been killed by a missile strike in residential area near Berlin Germany, according to multiple sources.

The meaningless game of whack a mole continues.

Payback is never meaningless.

As we continue to kill off these old school muj, the jihadists can’t replace them and new guys can only think about looking over their own shoulders.

The jihadists know that if we can do this kind of targeting, they are going to die because their own pals are ratting them out.

Zawahiri is the smart one, staying in Pakistan, off the grid, but we will find him too.
