In an extremely unusual airstrike, the U.S. dropped bombs Sunday in central Mosul, Iraq, destroying a building containing huge amounts of cash ISIS was using to pay its troops and for ongoing operations, two U.S. defense officials told CNN.
The officials could not say exactly how much money was there or in what currency, but one described it as "millions."
Two 2,000 pound bombs destroyed the site quickly. But the longstanding impact may be even more significant. The officials said the U.S. plans to strike more financial targets like this one to take away ISIS's ability to function as a state-like entity.

I wonder how the joint chiefs snuck this one by Obama.
If were not gonna kill ISIS then I guess denying them their whoring money is the next best thing.

They bombed where the ISIS money supposedly was.
But for all I know — the ISIS money had already made its way to the Clinton Foundation.

Well, if they did not give them warning to get the so called civilians out before they struck, I’ll give them a A on the report.
If they did warn them, they get the red F.

Leaked by the Obamunists as a political payback, I don’t doubt.

Does Obama know we did this? Boy, he’s not gonna be happy.

Didn’t Trump say a while back that we need to go after the money as well as the oil? Global banking systems is what I think he meant, but at least this is a start.......if true...who knows these days.
