President Trump reportedly asked the CIA why it waited until a terror targets family left the building before launching a drone missile strike against him.
Why did you wait? the president asked, according to the Washington Post, after being shown a video of an earlier strike in Syria by the ISIS-fighting spooks.
The CIAs head of drone operations told the commander-in-chief that the agencys goal was to minimize civilian casualties, an explanation that left Trump unimpressed, the paper reported.
On the campaign trail, then-candidate Trump once said that the US should kill not just terrorists, but their wives, children and other relatives as well.
When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, dont kid yourself. But they say they dont care about their lives. You have to take out their families, Trump said in 2015.

“War is the remedy our enemy’s have chosen. They dared us to war, and you remember how tauntingly they defied us to the contest. We have accepted the issue and it must be fought out. You might as well reason with a thunderstorm. I say let us give them all they want; not a word of argument, not a sign of let up, no cave in till we are whipped or they are.” - William T. Sherman
