Word out of Iraq is that an air\u00a0strike likely has wounded a key Islamic State leader.<\/p>\n

To whatever extent Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is injured remains unclear. I hope he dies a painful death.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the question now ought to surface about whether Americans or other foreign nationals who’ve joined ISIL are being targeted by the air strikes led by the United States of America.<\/p>\n

My answer? Big bleeping deal. Anyone from another country who joins this monstrous terrorist outfit and then takes some kind of secret oath to kill “infidels” from the land of their birth forfeits immediately — in my mind — their rights of citizenship.<\/p>\n

That surely includes Americans.<\/p>\n

The air strikes are having their desired effect on slowing ISIL. U.S. air power has accounted for most of the damage — and the casualties.<\/p>\n

If Americans who’ve joined the fight against their own country get caught in the barrage, well, that’s the price they will pay for going to war.<\/p>\n\n
