French fighter jets have dropped 20 bombs on the Islamic State (IS) stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria.

The planes hit a jihadi recruitment centre, training camp and arms depot run by the group, according to the French defence ministry.

The bombing raid was France's biggest to date in Syria, and was launched from air bases in United Arab Emirates and Jordan.

Save the money of bombs and start building cages to keep these Islamic “refugees” in

I prefer public executions, pay-per-view, with the proceeds going to the victims of the two-legged animals.

Sign me up.

As someone said up thread- a good start. A fast start I might add.

One article I read had a quote saying [paraphrased] These are not revenge bombings, rather a desire of France to take over the bombing.

And I have a bridge to nowhere to sell. :)

I wish it was not our fight, but our man-child in the Oval Office allowed ISIS to flourish.

No, he is too worried about Israel “overreacting “ to attacks against innocent Israelis and settlements

Personally I say we line the cages along the roads so that people can see the fate of those that tried to destroy America. A modern take on Scared Straight from the 80s or Vlad Tepes human forrest of impaled bodies.

We can optionally put them in himan zoo arrangements where we can charge admission to help pay the cost of reparing the famage liberals have done to the world.

As an added bonus, we could do a reverse zoo kinda thing since they think conservatives are knuckle dragging apes and throe feces at them. Fair is fair. they threw theirs at us for decades now.

No downside from any angle. We reopen the extraction industry to get the metal, put people to work building cages and have a source of entertainment.

I can see that.

Also, I seemed to remember from somewhere that John Kerry served in Vietnam.

And why did it take France to drop the bombs on Isis HQ? Obama is feckless.

Is 20 bombs alot?

It is for those in range when they hit...

I'd guess they are using specific targeting vs. going for the carpet effect - that comes after another attack......
