what about gun ship, air to ground missiles. they could be effective if you have appropriate targets. albeit the terrorists have sort of gone into heavily populated areas. as you know from your experience, this is one of the key tactics of groups like this. when you start talking about a group like isis, it wants to be in population centers wihere thy are surrounded by civilians and sensitive targets, mosques, hospital hospital hospitals, schools. that s where they re living. and again all that of that makes it hard to bring in big power and hit them. and there are still several thousand americans in the country. so you have to watch thout for them, as well. if isis is so powerful, don t they have certain staging points, supply headquarters, other facilities that could potentially be targeted without fear of innocent civilians
