IIRC, Tomahawks can now hit moving targets & the target can be changed in flight.

That said, a Tomahawk is a mighty expensive way to hit a moving truck or house full of terrorists.

Iraq needs armed drones for intelligence & the ability to hit targets of opportunity. Obama has rejected that request.

Drones would require US forces to operate, which puts US troops on the ground, something that Obama does not want to do. Maliki PO’d Obama during the failed status of forces agreement, so this is payback.

How does a drone piloted from Nellis AFB or an Indian Ocean facility need to have troops on the ground?
