NYT: U.S. knows exactly where ISIS headquarters is, but doesn’t attack for fear of accidentally kill

And that's just the start; getting approval to bomb a target can take hours

You’d think it would represent a major blow to ISIS if you could take out its headquarters - and apparently U.S. forces know exactly where ISIS headquarters is located. Specifically we’re talking about seven buildings in Raqqa, Syria. Furthermore, you’d think that if you had a shot at thousands of ISIS terrorists - the very ones who just took Ramadi and were running around in the open flaunting it - you’d take them out.

You’d think that, but you’d be wrong, at least according to the Obama Administration’s best friends at the New York Times:

American and allied warplanes are equipped with the most precise aerial arsenal ever fielded. But American officials say they are not striking significant — and obvious — Islamic State targets out of fear that the attacks will accidentally kill civilians. Killing such innocents could hand the militants a major propaganda coup and alienate both the local Sunni tribesmen, whose support is critical to ousting the militants, and Sunni Arab countries that are part of the American-led coalition.

And a building falling on they’re heads does have its charm.

MK77 Firebomb on the rubble 5 minutes later, more environmentally friendly than napalm.

Yeah, but no blast or frag effects. If we attack, kill them.
