I think that Galloway is a traitor and the Tower is too good for him...

As for all the anti air power drivel from various corners. OK ground pounders, crack on then and we'll watch your body count rise on a daily basis. Assymetric warfare needs to be confronted with a similar assymetry - very low risk but big effect air power is just the job rather than a ground war where you have little idea who is badness until it is too late.

What we really need is a 'gloves off' air campaign which is qued by air/space bourne assets giving real time fused intel to the shooter - roll in AC130, A10, MQ-1 and MQ-9 in large numbers day and night with short sensor-to-target chain. There is no real need to use high-end warfighting assets over Iraq like Tornado when there is no credible air threat - save them for Ukraine vs Russia!
