Egyptian warplanes struck hard at ISIS militants in neighboring Libya, killing as many as 64 militants and destroying the Islamist terror group's training camps and weapons caches a day after a sickening video surfaced showing black-clad jihadists beheading 21 Coptic Christians.
The strikes came in two waves after Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi went on national television in the world's most populous Arab nation and vowed revenge was coming. The address was followed by the airing of military video showing the planes taking off for the mission and an Armed Forces General Command statement saying the strikes were "to avenge the bloodshed and to seek retribution from the killers."
"Avenging Egyptian blood and punishing criminals and murderers is our right and duty," the Egyptian military said in the statement, which was broadcast on state television.

Go Egypt! The Pharoahs would be proud!

Cool. Please invite Hussein Obola over and give him what he deserves for his crimes.
His stupid Libyan and Egyptian meddling fueled the murder of the Egyptian Coptic Christians.
Airstrikes alone will never end the Isis threat. It’s just kicking a hornets nest.
Dear Lord. I hope you can be proud of Eqypt on this day. JMO
QUESTION...
If a country like Egypt can find and bomb ISIS strongholds, WHY CAN’T OBAMA???
I like this Al-Sisi guy. I hope the day comes when the U.S. can once again be worthy enough to be Egypt’s ally. ANYONE’S ally for that matter. Right now we are the World’s laughing stock.
How about "They want to."
Still Not Enough.
Total annihilation,men women and children.This cancer needs to be removed.
Chemo, Radiation won’t get it.
yeah, maybe the pilots need more training.... 64 killed is nothing relative to the costs of flying the mission, and the politicians need a different vision. Loss of life should have exceeded 210~!
1) .. they need to change out the delivery of munitions
2) .. also change the munitions
Either way, its a good starting point for Egypt!
Any second Lord Foul will be giving a speech condemning the heinous acts of ......................Egypt!

Keep an eye on this Sisi. He apparently wants to be the president of everyone in Egypt. This is the guy that Obama fought against.
Why can’t the U.S. have a president who loves justice, decency and civilization?
“QUESTION...
If a country like Egypt can find and bomb ISIS strongholds, WHY CAN’T OBAMA???”
Answer: Obama doesn’t have the will to fully attack ISIS.
This begs the question: WHY DOES OBAMA VIEW CONGRESS IRRELEVANT TO THE IRAN THREAT BUT RELEVANT TO THE ISIS THREAT?
Meanwhile the formerly great USA, led by an incompetent, does nothing.
Because American voters wanted a “progressive” instead — and “progressives” have no love for justice, decency or civilization.
Enough of this air strike carpola. All these mid east countries have substantial armies and plenty of russian armor.
Take this seriously and exterminate these bustards.
