#1 Key to taking this out will be coordinating military action on different sides of the borders, yet another "hammer and anvil" problem. Maybe why US is now training troops in Mali.

Dont suppose AQ wants to run into Moroccan army, IIUC one of the few efficient Arab armies.

#2 Did the military develop the MOAB for "excreta or titters", or just such a gathering of terrorists in remote regions? There is no momento I would enjoy more than a piece of glass infused with the blood, brains, teeth and eyeballs of an entire class of al-Qa'ida teachers and students.

#3 It would be safe to say that every person inside said camp would be a terrorist....right? Why not destroy everything in sight? INSTANTLY!

THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO!!

#6 Ranger, desert camp needs supplies. Look for the wagon wheels, masked one.

#7 The remote location is difficult to penetrate by intelligence gathering groups, but accessible to the terrorists through all four countries.

I'll bet it'd be real accessible to an AC-130. Cruise on up some night, fire up the infrared and let her eat.
