'Jihadi John' targeted by U.S. airstrike in Syria
CNN ^ | 11/13/15 | Babara Starr, et al

Posted on 11/13/2015 5:21:08 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

British Prime Minister David Cameron described the airstrike that may have killed "Jihadi John" in Syria as an act of self-defense as he awaited confirmation that the jeering, sadistic ISIS mouthpiece is dead.

This is a REALLY WEAK attempt to change the narrative by BO and Cameron.

Both are EXCEEDINGLY WEAK in combating terror, so they perform these occasional photo ops.

I fully expect the slobbering media to fawn over a strutting Obama later today, as he pretends to care about fighting Islamofascists.

Picking them off one at a time is something at least.

Not near enough. Picking them off one at a time allows the evil ones to replace them one at a time. Picking them off hundreds at a time will severely cut into recruiting.

Is it fair to say SoFloFreeper may have been unconvinced by what this administration might have accomplished against McCain’s brave young men, trying to make their country better?

Latest update: military isn’t sure if they got him. Apparently, the strike took place deep in ISIS territory, so we won’t be sending in Delta or a SEAL Team to recover body parts and DNA. Apparently, they’re hoping the terrorists will make some sort of announcement confirming the death of Jihadi John.

If ISIS followed the Al Qaida playbook, they would stockpile audio and video tapes of their leading figures, and trot them out every time we claim to have killed one of them. So far (apparently), ISIS isn’t saying anything, so the Pentagon can only speculate about his fate. We clearly vaporized someone during that strike, but don’t really have any way to confirm, outside of a formal acknowledgement by ISIS or terrorist chatter.

At that rate we could pay down the national debt before we free the world of “Jihadi Johns”.

More people in the world than Putin want to see the jihadists seared off the face of the earth. In fact, about the only ones who don’t want to see them annihilated are this administration and the perpetual war neocons.

David Cameron reportedly said the death of this guy would cut into the heart of ISIS.

Such a statement shows how profoundly IGNORANT he is regarding Islamofascists.

By the way, the mass migration of Muslims into the continent of Europe and being brought to the USA by B. Hussein Obama will likely include Jihadi John wannabes.

You DON’T think the ISIS maniacs should be disintegrated, and one at a time isn’t going to do the job?

The only negative is that Jihadi John likely had a quick incineration instead of a slow burn he inflicted on some of his victims.

I DON'T think the United States is going to be causing disintegration at any time in the next 14 months or so. So, one at a time is better than nothing. Now if others, like yourself, wish to pursue a more .... ambitious plan ....
