#1 Eight air strikes?

that pace is nearly as slow as the Guards Division advance in Market Garden...including the infamous stop for tea

#2 It does seem a little half-hearted and maybe amateurish. I can almost hear Mickey Rooney saying "Hey kids, let's put on an airstrike!"

I suspect the slow tempo is not due to a lack of targets, but an approval process for each one that goes up the food chain to somewhere in the vicinity of the White House and back down to the guys doing the work. That and the need to appear to be involved while doing as litle as possible.

#3 "You there, with the ribbons or whatnot on your coat, bring me the latest poll results. Hmmm, looks like I'm a little lower than we are supposed to be with Tough on Iran....ah, Mz Clinton is not doing so well...nice of her to take some pressure off, so: how about a theme this morning; I'll have the bagel with laughing cow, no juice. Let's try to have about 6-8 airstrikes today, nothing risky, no double digits."
