That tells you they know names and they know who hasn't reported for duty. Which also means they know who those persons would report to. We are being made aware there are yet more roaches in the house.

How many of the departed were on the JV team and how many were on the varsity. Maybe Obama can tell us.

Nice to hear we got them in this underground complex which they thought was a safe zone for them

Yes, I read a comment on some other site from someone who thought the cost of the bomb was too much for so few terorists killed. That was yesterday, I think, when the toll was around 36.

The main target was the underground tunnel system. Not only hiding terrorists; but, I believe it was also a storage facility for a weapons cache. Getting rid of that facility was worth the bomb we used.

Lots of Janet Reno types. Hopefully some dead terrorist is cavorting in hell with Janet now.

Wonder how safe the North Korean leadership feels they are in their “fortified” bunkers?

LOL. When Trump bombed Syria last week, he was having dinner with the Chinese Premier. I was wondering what the Chinese guy was thinking about North Korea when Trump told him what he had just done to Syria. Some how, I think the unspoken words were something like, "now, let's talk about North Korea".

I think the Chinese, yesterday, gave the Norks an ultimatum about their nuclear program. This tells me that Trump is keeping another promise --- better negotiated terms that also benefit the U.S.

Wait...don’t they want him to kill fewer people. Is’nt being inefficient at killing a sign of virtue in their eyes?

remember that the “Mother of All . . . .” meme started with Saddam promising the “Mother of All Battles” against us, not with our thinking up the phrase in the first place!

If it got one, the message was loud and clear.

There’s a new weapon being used. Welcome to reality.

I’m glad it tool out 94, and I hope that’s still a prelim number.

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
