#2 Operations Spear, Dagger and Sword! I love it. I'd love to be the guy who's tasked w/ coming up with Operational names! How about Operation Send 'Em to their ~~Virginians~~ Virgins or Operation Praise Allan? Hey, "those who live by the sword shall die by the sword." Amazing how that is completely opposite of big Mo's life, eh?

#3 If I'm reading this right, Op SWORD is concentrating on a area populated with smaller towns and villages.

I would have thought that the jihadis would muster in bigger cities, e.g. Ramadi, Mosul where they could find more hiding places but maybe these bigger cities also have more anti Jihadi citizens willing to ID them.
