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.

But wait. The Secy Genl of the UN is about to denounce the violence. He’s opposed to violence that isn’t a beheading video. It never solves anything./s
Trump is a no nonsense guy.
He doesn’t see any use for pussy-footing around with terrorists.
Pentagon: GREEN LIGHT
“Exactly what do you expect when you name as DefSec someone nicknamed “Mad Dog”?”
I saw a clip of Kyle on Fox; he asked, what does it take for a Marine to get the nickname “Mad Dog” from other Marines? My guess is, you’ve got to scare the $#!t out of them. Marines scared $#!tless, there’s a concept.
Trump/Mattis wasting no time destroying ISIS. I love it!
Yes and hopefully soon the schools.
Amen!!
AND announce it ahead of time on ALL main stream media talk shows?
Good post.
“...leaflets two hours after the strikes.”
And the leaflets in Arabic say, “Watch yer six, mofos. Not tired of winning yet. Sincerely, The Infidels.”
...off to a good start...
I pray this helps the friends and family of the soldiers who were killed over the past 15 years due to neglect and incompetence by the 0 admin.
Bingo!
Most likely....many efforts weren’t allowed to actually drop anything

Yes. And no four-month warning beforehand. They just did it. Shock and awe for sure!
The more CNN pushes Trump, they harder they will fall. Keep watching. CNN will be gone by summer.
The leaflets Mattie’s wil drop will read, “Bury your dead.”
They they’re what fox news was to obummer. Big difference. Fox didn’t disseminate lies. They weren’t hard right, but they were a thorn. CNN is trying to be more than a thorn.
BTW, if anyone wants a laugh, when FR was down I visited dailykos for a few laughs.
Every other word was hitler or nazi, and they now use the phrase “he who shall not be named” to refer to Trump! :)
