A long, expanded war? I don’t expect that. Trump’s a business man, not a politician; he’s out to win.

Why hit the labs? Because the stuff is all stored there and it makes people hesitant to work there.

No need to pollute the land mass... Let them ‘work’ hard, harvest and then destroy the facilities used to make their poppy juice... IF they are out growing poppies, they are NOT shooting at US...

Love our president! First time I’ve said that since Reagan.

It was always such a joke to say we are at war with somebody, and yet do nothing about choking their revenue streams especially when they relate to making illegal drugs! I always thought the same thing. The military was prohibited from destroying the poppy fields in Afghanistan because the politicians didn't want to alienate the poppy farmers. To me, alienating drug growers is not a problem when you consider that the profits were being used to kill Americans and the drugs were going into our inner cities.

Until they start stocking these places with women and children.

The good thing about bombing labs like this is not just that you slow down production of the final product a bunch (you do), but that you will (hopefully) reduce the knowledge and skill level of the cartels there by means of chaotic disassembly of the lab techs and designers on site.
Bombs away! Next, let’s do the same in Mexico and Colombia. I’m tired of our youth being made high and poisoned by foreign interests.

No more casual cruelty of Obama’s non-engagement rules! Thank you President Trump!
