#1 33, put yourself in al Q's place for a sec.
At this time, 33 is a serious loss. How much longer can they get recruits ?
This rates with the Donkey Island Smackdown.

#2 It really reflects the cultural mindset of the enemy, something we must not overlook. Despite crushing defeats and our overwhelming air power, they keep trying to fight set-piece battles.

#4 They have no problem recruiting. Its the logistics that we need to focus on for now. We need to work backwards. First lets kill the ones that are there. Next lets close all the routes. Then go after the madrassas in London, Rotterdam, Islamabad, Bosnia, etc. Thats what the CIA is for - extreme iman prejudice. I believe one way to fight this thing is destroy the motivation - the mosques and schools. In other words - don't assinate world leaders but the imans, sheihks and mullahs.

#6 how do we get in there and kill Imams?

The ability to do so has never been the problem. We could wipe out every last stinking one of them, preferably beginning with Tater.

The WILL to do so is the problem. A military bound by a country of wimps, and a PC political system run amok, will never be allowed to do what is necessary.

#8 33 killed and 3 captured. A ratio that minimizes future problems.
