Eight of the 22 airstrikes that began Monday night Washington time were aimed at targets associated with an alleged al-Qaeda cell in Aleppo called the Khorasan group, an organization so obscure that U.S. officials had never even mentioned it by name until a week ago.Rules are for little people. Thank goodness President Obama (unlike his bloodthirsty predecessor) has access to those special cruise missiles that don't cause collateral damage (aka non-combatants, women & children).
By Tuesday, officials across the Obama administration and U.S. military were describing the group as an “imminent threat” to this country.

WEASEL WORDS: Dear Mr President
Air strikes and cruise missiles don't 'dismantle'... THEY DISEMBOWEL.This isn't like breaking up a rowdy frat party... it's premeditated homicide. That's part of the job.
Maybe Obama should get a Nobel prize for fiction.
