1. TY for posting. It should be noted that this is a top Obama admin lawyer saying this.

From the article:

....The US is heading for a "tipping point" beyond which it should no longer pursue al-Qaida terrorists by military means, one of the Obama administration's most senior lawyers has said.

Jeh Johnson suggested the group would become so degraded that a time would come when the legal authority given to the White House by Congress should no longer be used to justify waging the war that has been fought since 2001....

5. They've all been "chased" into Syria. We'd get them there, if we really wanted to.

But, on with the new wars - "moving forward."

6. Interesting, coming from the DoD general counsel

Would this mean the end of drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan, or are those both being justified as a separate fight with the respective Talibans?
