Another One Bites the Dust...

From the NYT today:

...U.S. military forces conducted a rare raid in northwestern Syria on Friday, killing a senior Islamic State leader and two other ISIS insurgents, the Pentagon’s Central Command said.

In a statement, Central Command said that U.S. forces killed the leader, Dhiya’ Zawba Muslih al-Hardani, and his two adult sons in the Aleppo area.

Central Command provided few details on the ground operation, but military counterterrorism raids — as opposed to airstrikes — have typically involved helicopter-borne Special Operations commandos, often supported by attack planes and drones....

Every time we or Israel knock off another terrorist leader it is good news for sure, however, they are quickly replaced by another. The sad truth is that there is no end to this saga. Remember what the radicals believe that the Quran says, they will defeat the infidels even if it takes a million years.

Real SHAME this country did not recognize the threat many many years ago. Maybe we’re coming around?

I think it's more a case of believing what they think the Quran says. They are not the first to make that error with religious texts.
