So if one thing that the “War on Terror” has taught me, it’s persistence.
You have to remain constant. In this latest article, we are warned by Lt. Gen Townsend, that Raqqa is at the epicenter of logistics for the daesh.
We know, where they are. We know they’re plotting attacks on the West. Time to level the damn place, get some Intel and find their sleeper cells and take them out too.
The commander of the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State group says there’s an urgent need to encircle the extremists’ stronghold in the Syrian city of Raqqa because of intelligence warnings that attacks on Western targets are being plotted there.
Townsend said the coalition is using airpower to strike available targets around Raqqa, as a first step to spoil the plotting. But it needs to more fully isolate the city soon, he said, to increase the pressure. That will be followed by an assault on the city led by Arab and other local fighters, he said.
Townsend said it’s unclear when and where in the West the extremists intend to strike.
