We had a strategic plan when we bombed Germany and Japan. Thanks for making my point.

It is better to be victorious than to just screw around and kill a few people.

According to one report, the US is mainly going after US made weapons captured by ISIS.

I hit Irbil and I lost my hand...
I watched Isis take another man.
Oh, oh, the damage done...

I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. Spot on.

Obama has no clue about leadership on any plane.. but once given the “go,” despite th narrow scope of the operation, our military guys have once again done an outstanding job. The one entity that I trust - the peshmerga - said the air support has been greatly helpful, and they’ve been able to leverage that support to make gains on the ground. Obama deserves no praise for the turning back of the IS, but our military does.

I hope we have some Warthogs in the neighborhood.

The U.S. says Sunday's strikes damaged or destroyed 10 armed vehicles, seven Humvees, two armored personnel carriers and one checkpoint.

A drop in the ocean.

These special MMMs need to be attacked, day and night, without letup. Give them a taste of the hell they have been imposing on others.

Strutting imbeciles with lotsa guns and black flags...
