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.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group.
The only people that will be more pissed than ISIS will be the American Press.
Great days ahead.
