On one hand I agree with you. Then again, little pinpricks taking out "high senior leaders" only pisses people off more.

On the other hand we need to send a strong message to everyone - fuck with the United States, and we will NEVER leave. Ever. You think a group of one hundred people or one thousand people would be willing to take on the entire US military knowing the US military will completely over run them, fuck with each one of them until the day they die, fuck with their children until they die, and fuck with their children's children until they die, and so on until everyone has forgotten what started this in the first place. And then we will STILL be there.
