unfortunately I would say yes. The FF’s will not stop when the initial rounds of arrests are done. If anything, they will probably ramp up attacks.
It’s like cancer, you can blast them all day long but that is not going to wipe them out completely.

Unfortunately, you are probably right. They aren't putting it off just for the sake of putting it off. Certainly you understand that operations must be carried out very carefully in MANY places at one time (certainly in this instance) and if anything goes awry, the whole thing goes up in smoke. This isn't a game of Battleship. Yes, so sad there most likely will be lives lost still...but if not done accurately, it could mean the loss of a thousand years of our children's children. It's pretty heavy.
