I was watching video of the strike on the oil convoy and I would do things differently.

I wouldn’t worry about precision munitions targeting individual trucks. That gives guys not hit in the first strike a chance to get out of the truck and run.

I’d suggest multiple planes with cluster bombs to take out the whole convoy inside of 30 seconds so nobody gets out alive.

I think we probably have plenty of both and the mission cost would also be less expensive than surgical strikes. Daisy Cutters and cluster bombs...I like it.

They are strafing them with A-10s. Rather then waste high tech bombs, let the ground attack aircraft do what they do best.

Of course, when our C-I-C, and his regime, think the terrorists “have legitimate grievances with the West”, it is going to be pretty hard for our military to wage an effective campaign.
