Look I think this is great. From what I keep hearing the Jihadi's are pouring into this town to fight. Kill a few hundred off, make it look like the end is near, pull back, wait for a few thousand reinforcements to come in, kill them off repeat.
Its like shooting fish in a barrel and a lot easier making them come to you and then kill them than chasing them hither and yon.
Of course if I was in charge the whole thing would be paved by now and a WalMart would be installed.
