Newly minted Secretary of Defense James Mattis celebrated his first full day at the Pentagon by overseeing 31 strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Mattis entered the Pentagon Saturday with a smile for his first full day of work, and for good reason, considering the significant bombardment ISIS forces received.
A variety of fighters, bombers and remotely piloted aircraft engaged in the bombing run, which saw 25 strikes in Syria and six in Iraq.
In Syria, two strikes destroyed ISIS units and artillery near the town of Bab. ISIS forces in Raqqa, the terrorist group’s de facto capital, took a heavy beating, as 22 strikes destroyed 12 tactical units, nine fighting positions, two underground improvised explosive bomb factories and an ISIS headquarters. The final strike targeted two ISIS oil wells in Deir ez Zour.

Trump to Gen Mattis, you sir are in charge of hostilities - you do not need me to approve offensive and defensive measures. The HMIC is no longer the Head Muslim in Charge but rather the Head Mattis in Charge - Obama is long gone and can no longer protect the Muslims with whom his father and his early upbringing he is influenced. Hillary is gone with Huma, and all the MB from government agencies. No more battlefield intel, no more government information leaking out at the planning stages - this is how to fight the war.
I hope so; MARINE CORPS, SEMPER FI, KILL! KILL! KILL!
I go to the post office once a week to pick up my mail, hope to meet some of these sh!t bags and demonstrate what OLD CORPS really means.
Or to quote Toby Keith... “How do you like me now?!”
I understand why he had to do all that, the same reason that he had to infamously call Islam the “religion of peace”.
Same reason you can’t take a truckload of TNT and disarm it by blowing it up as is, where it is. You pick your targets, you isolate them, you eliminate them one at a time, far from each other.
Trump is doing the same thing. He’s only talking about taking out ISIS right now, as if they were the only threat in the world. They are not, but if you start talking about Hizbollah, Hamas, etc., all in the same breath, they start working more closely together, rather than feuding amongst each other over who will take over ISIS’ turf when they’re gone.
Let me guess. “No blood for oil!” They’re right. Blood is a terrible thing to put into your car’s engine.
All well and good.
Now, why did he send hundreds of millions to the Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza?
It enabled them to attack Israel in various ways.
It enabled their “leaders” to send their wives shopping in Paris, and to drop a satchel of cash in the family account in Zurich on the way. The money for attacking Israel, they get from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc., if not from the EU.
LOL, nice try...
I think Yasser Arafat’s wife can tell us where those fund go.
She didn’t get to keep them though, did she?
She could probably afford to pay out the interest to the PA so they can keep the street lights in El Aroub lit whenever the street gangs haven’t stolen them.
Did it ever cross you mind that was the plan? Hussein Obama was raised a Muslim in Indonesia. Hussein said he'd side with the Muslims and he did.
The State Dept was missing something on the order of $5 Billion. Did you ever wonder where that went?
The plan in Libya was to overthrow the gov't and then take the weapons to Syria to overthrow another government. In BOTH Libya and Syria, Hussein Obama was supporting the rebels. WHO were the rebels? Muslim terrorist.
Another Hussein Obama adventure was supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The MB was successful getting in power but the Egyptians rebelled and threw the MB out.
Do you see a pattern here? Hussein Obama was always on the side of the Muslim terrorists.
In Benghazi, America's FIRST Muslim President blocked any rescue effort. WHY? Because Hussein was not going to let the US military slaughter his Muslims.
Does it make sense now? Hussein was doing all he could to build up ISIS all the while making the biggest fools in history (Americans) think he was fighting ISIS.
Maybe they will eventually get around to destroying the terrorist training camps in the U.S. that jamaat ul-Fuqra have set up years ago. Well documented in Homegrown Jihad dvd put out by Christian Action Network.

It’s Trump, he just clearing away room for new shopping centers and condos, that greedy bastard.
No, it's not.
Hussein Obama was raised a Muslim in Indonesia.
Yeah, and the vast majority of the military wasn't, and Jordan isn't exactly keen on ISIS.
Hussein said he'd side with the Muslims and he did.
No, he didn't. I've read that quote from his book, in context. While I definitely think he empathizes with Muslims, blowing up some Muslims while backing other Muslims isn't exactly siding with Muslims over the West is it?
OMG!!!
My dad had that song on LP when I was a kid. Always made me laugh.
Give them one day to leave Raqqa and then send b52s.
BLAME THE CIVILIAN CASUALTIES ON THE FORCES THAT KEPT THE CIVILIANS IN THE WAR ZONE....... ISIS
Rinse and repeat till everything is clean.

I still believe that if R Reagan & Co would have followed that strategy in Beirut —after the Marine Barracks fiasco— we wouldn’t be having a lot of these ‘hit & run’ sortees today.
Once the Troglodytes started firing at the INTERNATIONAL rescue teams that were at the Barracks, we could/should have blown the hillside where the snipers were off the face of the earth.
We had the firepower off shore to do it.....
No. There was a very, very limited amount of material (of all types) sent from Germany to Japan, but the a-bomb program Germany had begun (was in the research phase to start) was heavily dependent on the heavy water produced out of Norway’s hydrostation. Uranium enrichment for the first U235 bombs was all US production base from Oak Ridge TN, then later Pu from the west reactors at Hanford.
