Pictures Showing The Aftermath Of US Strikes In Syria

The Pentagon provided more details Tuesday morning on the airstrikes launched in Syria the night before, saying they came in three "waves" and were successful in damaging and destroying certain targets.

These new details of the operations came when Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby and Lt. Gen. William C. Mayville Jr. briefed reporters. They described the strikes as successful but stressed they are "only the beginning" of the campaign.

The airstrikes targeted both the group calling itself the Islamic States (also known as ISIS or ISIL) and a group known as the Khorasan, an al-Qaeda-affiliated group the Pentagon warned was in the "final stages" of plotting attacks on both the US and Europe.

Here's the map showing the targets of the airstrikes:

The buildings are probably built with rebar and concrete so they would not collapse completely. Take a look at WW2 pictures of Stalingrad. The buildinggs were destroyed but were not leveled.

It’s only “war porn” when a Republican is in the White House.

No, you must be thinking of the decades of Democrat rule in Detroit.

These are concrete structures. Although they look fairly intact they were completely destroyed inside. The C&C facility was hit with two penetrating LGBs. One on each end. It’s very likely there is not much of anything useful left inside. The fireball was several times the building’s diameter.

Well they probably only have one small bomb for each building considering the military budget.

Must be using those personal bombs, the ones with
someone’s name on them.
I would have thought some CBUs would have done some
good on that training camp, all those tents...

Arc Light’em if you got’m.

Obamabombs have no warheads. You could hurt somebody with that.

We didn't drop bombs, we dropped condoms and voter registration cards.

Don’t worry, the buildings were struck in the middle of the night while no actual Islamic terrorists were there.

Rumor is that the Saudi contribution was to pitch tents and host a lavish camel roast safely away from the buildings, to reduce the chance that anyone happened to be hanging around the office working late.

That some awful war porn. When you have to look twice to see the difference not good.

IDF knocking on the roof did more damage to building structure.

You got to understand. Fearless leader himself picked out all of the targets.
Targets picked for maximum public opinion boost and minimum effect on his buddies in ISIS.

The took out the rooftop A/C units. Maybe the strategy is to make them really uncomfortable.
