It didn’t kill the children, though, they are playing in the rubble.

Hopefully, they can dig out some of the bones of the ISIS thugs and feed them to dogs.

Can you say “staged” pictures? The same security “official” is seen over and over. Wonder what he is in charge of and where are his other folks?

Karzai was a joke.

The left is doing its best to turn this into a negative. They really feel sorry for their best buddies, the bearded savages who are being exterminated by that evil Donald Trump now that that nice man Barack Obama is out of office.

Those pictures are obviously staged.

That rubble looks likes it’s been sitting there a long time.

Lies.

If that was MOAB damage, there wouldn’t be trees with nice pretty green leaves all over them in the pictures.

That’s all old damage done long ago.

The reporter and editors that produced this enemy propaganda are agents of the enemy and should be treated as such.

It is possible and probable that ISIS terrorists (or soldiers) had their families living with them in the tunnels.

I imagine ISIS ambushed Afghan and US troops from the tunnels.

That makes them a legitimate military target.

If you don't want your family killed, have them live somewhere else.

How would one be able to tell the diff between blast rubble and normal everyday debris in Afghanistan?

Interesting that the story includes video of a B-52. The MOAB requires a C-130.

Excellent analysis!

Also note the 'tug at the heartstrings' engendered by labeling the GBU-43 "the largest non-nuclear weapon".

MenSeekingMen cannot believe there wasn’t a single collateral damage victim. If there was even one it’d be top news for a week.
