General Jack Keane told someone on FNC that there were over 200 ISIS in the target area.

I’ve seen other reports saying that there were from 800 to 900 ISIS in the area. If true, 90 dead is a good start, but I wish it had been higher. Maybe the bomb was as powerful as it could be without the likelihood of taking civilians down with it.

I'm wondering who these ISIS fighters are. Do the tunnels bring fighters across the border with Pakistan. If so, could a lot of them have been Pakistani nationals who lead secret lives?

Interesting that Karzai publically expresses his ire. It makes one wonder if he isn't complicit in those shenanigans. And, by extension, secretive fighters on Obama's payroll.

Pure speculation. This does seem to be a brilliant move that sent a whole lot of messages.
