On Thursday night, America launched the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (MOAB) at ISIS stations in Afghanistan. The air blast bomb, dubbed with the nickname Mother of All Bombs engendered the death of 36 ISIS militants, Afghan officials report. The deaths took place near the Pakistan border, where ISIS is believed to have up to 800 soldiers stationed. The Mother of All Bombs annihilated weapons, ammunition, and underground tunnels, but according to the Afghan Defense Ministry spokesperson, there were no civilian casualties.

That’s gonna require a lot of Virginians!
It should've been 3600....Oh well, it's a start...
Exactly! Probably some intelligence officer's SWAG based on what he could make out in a sat photo.
Typically, they are mass murderers and serial killers of the innocent and unarmed. Just imagine, if instead of the terrorist label, the lying old media treated them as if they were Ted Bundys, Jack the Ripper, Jeffrey Dahmer, or Charles Manson, all of which were small time operators compared to the Islamic pigs.
The only reason there were no civilian casualties, is that the local contingent of guerrilla irregulars (derisively called “soldiers”) had not rounded up any to use as human shields.
They surround themselves with non-combatants held at gunpoint for the express purpose of shaming the assault force into not shooting. Of course, when the assault force has retreated, the civilian hostages will be killed anyway, as they then become a liability.
Demoralize the knuckle draggers....

The psychological effect is tremendous I bet.
We’re unable to identify those within the cave and tunnels as bodies.
They took drone pictures before and counted 36 visible animals is my guess
Oh sure they are. Soldiers of Satan. They dress in murderous hate.
An earth shattering kaboom
That would be pure speculation, they're all trapped in collapsed caves.
***...but according to the Afghan Defense Ministry spokesperson, there were no civilian casualties.***
So, why are the Afghan politicians bitching about it?
Now if we finally get smart and drop a few of these on Riyadh ISIS might finally pack it in and go home to check on Mom and Dad.
The beauty of a bomb like that is those out in the open were probably vaporized, immolated or blown into so many pieces that an accurate count is not possible.
So about 600 pounds of bomb per jihadist killed.
How does this stack up with other ordinance?
You mean theyre able to find a body parts after that explosion?
On neighboring mountains i’m sure.:)
Cheaper than a nuke. Sometimes it just feels good to kill a few pissants with a sledge hammer.
Wonder if that includes unknowns stuck in the caves after the openings to the cave are collapsed.
How many released into the atmosphere?
:-)
