The United States has released video that shows coalition forces successfully hammering an Islamic State cave complex in Iraq with airstrikes.
The attack happened on Wednesday in Iraq’s Hamrin Mountains, an area that is a known refuge for ISIS fighters who use the cave systems to hide out, plan attacks, and smuggle weapons. The airstrikes hit 10 caves and were done in coordination with Iraqi forces, according to a Thursday press release from Combined Joint Task Force — Operation Inherent Resolve.
It is estimated that between five to 10 ISIS fighters were killed in the airstrikes, though that figure could change as Iraqi troops continue to search the intricate complex. ISIS documents, electronic devices, and other equipment have been recovered from the target sites.

“It is estimated that between five to 10 ISIS fighters were killed in the airstrikes...”
5-10?!?!?
But they need those caves to store and eat mastodon and saber tooth tiger meat. The ISIS lifestyle as up to date as their “religious faith” of stoning people, crucifying them and killing women who try to do things without a husband, father or brother’s oversight.

No offense but haven't you heard of cave social distancing?
Hell of a way to go, eh?
Well, at $500,000 a bomb...those are expensive kills.
big bada boom
Barack and Brennan don’t like it
Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah
The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his officers stink
Guerrilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet
The President looks in the mirror and speaks
His shirts are clean but his country reeks
Unpaid bills
In Afghanistan hills
Bombs away
But we’re okay
Bombs away
In old Bombay

Groovy.
When do they bomb Culiacan?
Yeah. You know, like 7 or 9.
+100!
Bump for after work.
Yes, it was very expensive for the elimination of only five to ten ISIS terrorists, but it probably will have a much greater effect than just those casualties. It should be very disruptive to what ISIS is doing in that area, as the survivors are going to have to move around more cautiously now, and their cave lair is demolished.
Is it too much too hope they do that to the cave hiding Comey, Clapper, Brennan, McCabe, Obama, and Rice.

Years ago I was in a cave in the mountains of California when a slight earth quake hit.
Dust and rocks fell from the top and I nearly pooped my britches.
