Boom!
 

21,000 lb bonb dropped in ISIS underground target in Afghanistan, the largest non-nuke weapon in our arsenal. Allegedly a response to the killing of a Green Beret by ISIS forces.

Interesting....

Oooooooo, I'm SO impressed! Thank God he's finally taking action after "absolutely no effort" made by our former president or military in eight years..................

19,300 missions executed in the last few years, but the only ones some people seem to care about are the last two.:rolleyes:

Interesting.

This is what your president is doing.

It makes me wonder what else we are being distracted from............

Trump possibly does not want to be questioned about his flip-flops on China (currency manipulator?), Russia (friend or foe?), NATO, Syria & Assad (in or out?), Yellen (stays or goes) and most importantly Steve Bannon (keep or fire).
So with so many daunting questions from the media he needs to address, a mega bomb is called for.

Ah, OK. Glad you've got it all figured out, Dave. :rolleyes:

This is probably closer to the truth:

That the United States is now again using this type of ordnance reflects the changing nature of the foe in Afghanistan, and the fact that the Islamic State, like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, is now also using caves and tunnels.

Despite the linked article which I had read a while back, what if this unleashes a barrage of terrorist attacks by ISIS? The standard answer will be Obama created ISIS, so an easy deniability. It's not like Trump or the GOP really have a well thought out or detailed plan for ISIS or Syria. So let's see what the aftershocks look like after the Boom.

Syria, lob a few missiles. N. Korea, send a few battle ships their way. ISIS in Afghanistan, drop one MOAB. Kind of childish don't you think?

As opposed to what? ISIS is already inspiring a "barrage of terrorist attacks".

On the other hand, what if this puts a hitch in ISIS's giddy-up for a while?

So, why does the United States think it has a right to go around the world bombing the shit out of countries? Is any other country doing the same or only us?

Neither Syria nor Afghanistan has attacked us, neither has N. Korea nor Iran and I imagine they are next. Just who is the aggressor here?

Karma, it's gonna bite us hard one day.

Magic words are WMD, Terrorism and if those don't gain traction, there is always National Security.

Well it has been a week since the last new grabbing bombing. Maybe we can look forward to every Thursday another!
