This was a real setback for ISIS. MOAB could have completely wiped them out.

How mahy were illegal immigrants?

How are they getting these numbers? Is someone sifting through the rubble? I don’t believe this crap for a minute.

Death is by concussion & flying debris, mostly.

We used to drop 1/4 lb. blocks of TNT off Namo Bridge north of Danang to deter NVA frogmen. The concussive effect is more pronounced in the much denser water. (of course, 11,000 lbs explosive vs 1/4 lb also is a factor... ;-) .. )

There’s has to be a lot of body parts laying around. Probably doesn’t smell like fried chicken though.

Obama probably paid for the bases construction in the first place

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I miss the days of official body counts. Americans like to keep score. The ratio I'd prefer to see is that for every person killed or maimed on 9/11, we kill 1,000,000 of theirs. I'm not picky. Any dead muslim will do.

We probably should have been using more of the MOABs all along. I also kind of miss the days of the gunsight videos. Nothing quite like the the enjoyable feeling of seeing a Toyota pickup truck full of goat humping muslims (along with their RPGs) being vaporized by smart munitions.

[Parley Baer]

“What bodies?”

I am sure some bodies are still buried. I wonder if any were vaporized? That is turning out to be quite the ISIS nest.

[silverleaf]

I hope it was a drug lab

[taxcontrol]

I am not sure but I believe that the bodies would be more like pools of jelly

/sarc

[luvbach1]

I don’t think terrorists being killed by the score in one fell swoop will be good for recruiting.

[mowowie]

Used to be a Freeper that would post a daily thread/ping called warporn with those gun sight video’s.
A lot of Hellfire missile strikes etc.

i wonder what happened to that guy...

[DoughtyOne]

Someone else may have done this on this thread, but I wanted to add this just in case.

This MOAB bomb was estimated to carry 21,600 lbs of TNT. LINK

That is 10.53 tons of TNT. (1 ton = 2000 pounds)

Definition of a kiloton: LINK

The Hiroshima bomb was pegged at 15 thousand tons of TNT and the Nagasaki bomb was pegged at 21 thousand tons of TNT. LINK

[DoughtyOne]

Wonder how you count and categorize folks who vaporized.
