A pair of B-2 "stealth" bombers blasted two ISIS training camps in Libya on Wednesday evening, dropping 108 precision-guided bombs and sending jihadists scattering -- many of whom were then "cleaned up" by drone-launched hellfire missiles, U.S. defense officials told Fox News.
The assault killed an estimated 85 terrorists at the camps, which were about 30 miles southwest of the Libyan coastal city of Sirte.
President Obama authorized the action. Most of the terrorists targeted had escaped Sirte after extensive military actions there.
U.S. drones "cleaned up" the operation by launching hellfire missiles that killed a several of ISIS fighters trying to run to safety.

It took 108 bombs to kill 85 terrorists???
Okay. Okay. Flame away.
Besides, do we really trust Barky to be killing terrorists while he's releasing other terrorists from Gitmo?
Color me skeptical.

I have this image of Obama screaming all day long today into his phone and all he gets is busy signals.

I guess today, for some reason, he had the intense urge to kill somebody.

Two B-2s, 108 PGMS dropped and an unspecified number of He’ll fire missiles to kill 100 people? At this rate we’ll go broke.

I wonder how many Viet Cong got killed in an average ARC LIGHT strike.
To: workerbee
Why use stealth bombers?
What state actor is helping them with radar support?
Or is the “JV Team” sophisticated enough to have high altitude radar?

Aircraft from NATO bases would be more economical if they would assume their share of the load.

So we dispatched two B-2 Stealth Bombers ($737 million per) and dropped 108 precision guided bombs (J-DAM cost $25,000.00 per) and killed a whopping 85 terrorists?
Obama released almost that many from Gitmo while President!
