........ I have been watching you closely! How u dey Your name sounds like you are a catalan; are you?

war is 90% logistics.
Someone made an analogy of the way the last administration was fo0lishly or incompetently going about the war against BH. He said if you have a leaking pipe in your house and the room is flooded, the most rational thing to do is to stop the leakage or at least turn off the supply to the leaking pipe before thinking about mopping the floor.
The last administration kept "mopping" the floor by fighting with ill motivated soldiers while the "leaking pipe" was left unplugged i.e BH financiers are not captured, logistics suppliers like in this case were left to keep rendering all sorts of support to the terrorist group.
Kudos and God's Blessing to the Brave men on the front line.
