First of all: who is he? I just realized that UBL was quite known by everyone... Lot of documentaries, books, analysis, everything... On this bagdadi the us admin and medias play total blackout...
This is what I "know" without research, all is pure guess... Iraqi from Baghdad (from the name) born in a Sunni family and a veteran from the Iraq war, was maybe even incarcerated at one point in the big jail, love sex slaves, was seen once in a mosque announcing himself as calif, bearded, black hair with some spot of white, 40-50 yo.
I find it quite little... I am sure he could go incognito in most Europeans cities no one would know who he is...
Just like Obama all over again.
Maybe he is in Northern Africa too you never know...
Good point that the spread of Isis should be stopped in Africa... However I don't believe so... Or very close to his birth town or in some relatively correct stolen houses complex near the capital of their state...
Does he goes to the mosque each Friday? Which one? When was the last time he was seen?
Do you have a good show on him to recommend?
Wouldn't it be time to quickly invade and destroy their capital? Nothing about nation building... The Russian way, aka a enough and more ground tanks and what ever necessary... Go to their main buildings firing on anything that move, plant an American flag on top of the highest standing building, pack everyone and go back to the basis? Hit, plant, run... Risks are very limited... Open a path way Israelis like, roll the tanks with drones and what ever on the air to really be able to create 2 lines of fire on each sides + a moving one in the front, a quick flag planting and leave... With clear rules of engagement aka nothing will move, it can be done in less than 3-4 hours in and out...
Of course it's not about winning and it will not really change the situation on a classical sense... However it's very symbolic. Imagine a nation angry at America, debarks move to DC plant a flag on top of congress and the White House and leave... How would you feel? Ready to cheer? LoL and worst the invaders leave... Which that it's impossible to counter attack or harass... Just humiliated.
Gogogo... And if it moves fire, don't worry for munitions, overwhelming force... Well executed and with surprise there is really a possibility to make it a zero casualty operation... However moving line of destruction must be straight to the goal and the sides ablaze all along... And as everyone in front is dead and the opponents on the side can't see anything from trough the wall of fire and are targeted from above...
Why wasn't it done already? The American army should never be made for peace keeping or nation building abroad... Only munition shuffling... How do you think Russian moved to berlin?
