So what’s the mission now?

The objective is the same as it has always has been.

Disrupting, dismantling and defeating Al-Qaeda. Deny sponsorship, support and sanctuary to Al-Qaeda.

We have killed so many top Al-Qaeda leaders. There is only one left and that is al-Zawahiri.

"There is only one left and that is al-Zawahiri." I would normally ROTFLMAO at that statement but since many service men and women are getting killed over an idiotic strategy I relegate your excuse as just sad.

In order to grasp your reasoning I must ask this: Is al-Zawahiri the center of gravity? What makes you think al-Zawahiri is or any other man?

They are all replaceble with others just as bad.

Has their deaths stopped the killings?

We have a whole country of people who do not want us there. We either kill them all down to the point where they no longer fight , or we need to move on.
