May he rot in hell.
Unfortunately, the sad fact is that there are tens- if not hundreds- of thousands lined up right behind him. And plenty more willing to aid him.
Such is the paradox of this conflict: the Islamists are so flexible that their leadership is one of the MORE disposable parts of their operating machine.

That’s the best description I’ve read with regard to the subject.
Is our side fighting this war with bad strategy do you think? We’re so used to wars being over in 4 or 5 yrs forgetting one that once went on for a hundred.
It will not be solved in my lifetime, given my age. And I haven’t a clue not being trained in the art,(war) of how to solve and end this one. I was only ever a fair chess player and my answer to everything is “nuke the bastards” and be done with it. Which I don’t guess is very logical. Or is it? See? No patience. Maybe if I had that (patience) I’d have been a better chess player.
