Thank you, but I think you overstate your case..
The killing of certain insurgents absolutely needs to be a strong, well resourced, supporting effort of any COIN campaign. Main effort must be the repair of governance and re-earning the support of the populace through change, not charity.
The population will support who ever has POWER, by having the monopoly on armed violence. ONCE that is done, then the political fixing can start.
