Coalition and Iraqi forces carried out airstrikes Tuesday against an island south of Mosul in the Tigris River believed to be a safe haven for the Islamic State group in Iraq.
Fireballs exploded across Qanus Island in Iraq’s Salahuddin province, as plumes of smoke billowed up into the sky, a video posted on Twitter showed. Black-clad Iraqi counter-terrorism troops are seen watching over the operation from the ground.

They were really pressed to use the F-35 along with the Strike Eagles. Well I guess they wanted some of the Island left, I prefer the low tech B-52 approach myself. One tank of gas, 500,000 pounds of bombs and GOD help em.

13 dead troops is no victory. Trump promised to get them out then he can bomb the whole place to hell.

To: CivilWarBrewing
I see your point and agree.
But, could there really be too many when it comes to taking out the non-ethnic Iranian mullahs in Iran?

Hope they didn’t use bunker busters, they could have penetrated right through punching a hole in the bottom and sunk the island destroying any future opportunities for a resort and casino...

Might have been a nice idea when they were running from town to town in broad daylight convoys on MSRs, in a fleet of brand new Toyota HiLux trucks.
But guess we still thought we could reign them in and they would do what were paid the to do and just overthrow Assad.
