Anyone else watch the "60 Minutes" piece on American bombing missions in Iraq?

They made it look so sanitized, so clinical.

1. It is if you're sitting in the cockpit...

virtually impervious to any counter measures.

[-none]

2. People inside buildings, disappearing in a pink mist and blast dust, based on someone's say so.

That is how we are conducting our wars on citizens of other countries now.

I turned the channel. Couldn't believe it.

5. I was left confused

Daily bombing missions by the strongest military in the world, and yet they can't eradicate a group of ragtag terrorists? They're not hiding in the jungle -- there's not a tree or bush in sight. They're out in the open desert. And our drones can't locate them when they're parading in their Toyotas around the region? How about the hostages? Do the drones not see where they're being held either? I find it hard to believe that we continuously take out these "high-ranking" leaders, yet they're able to replenish their ranks so easily, so their numbers (conveniently) never decline. That was an odd statement.

We need a boogeyman, and ISIS fits the bill. When they mentioned that we are dropping literally hundreds of bombs a day -- well, some company has to make those and stay in business. And then we wonder why people are fleeing the region, and criticize them for not "staying and fighting."
