"we need precision bombing spending millions for a bomb to kill one person"

Not sure that's realistic, particularly when this enemy is well known to hide in civilian areas, intentionally using them as shields. That's why I say that if we decide to win this thing, it will be a lot messier than anything we have ever done. Islamic facists don't play by the rules thatthe Germans played by, not even by th esame rules as the Japanese. We negotiated a peace with the Japanese that we felt comfortable with. That's not going to happen with this enemy. We all need to be very clear about that...no large battles between 2 armies with no civilians around...that's a thing of the past...
