Would you have the same opinion if Obama authorized this bombing?Halifax2TheMax said:
The results are the US spent $444,444 each for 36 kills and may or may not have destroyed a tunnel complex, in America's longest running foreign conflict. Accomplish any long term goal other than making Trump look like he's got a big dick? Maybe. Other than providing ISIS with further recruitment propaganda, I'm not sure it accomplished anything other than the aforementioned costs, deaths and destruction.tbergs said:

94 bad guys were killed.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The number of militants killed in an attack by the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military has risen to 94, an Afghan official said Saturday.
Ataullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor in Nangarhar, said the number of Islamic State group dead was up from the 36 reported a day earlier. A Ministry of Defense official had said Friday the number of dead could rise as officials assessed the bomb site in Achin district.
"Fortunately there is no report of civilians being killed in the attack," Khogyani said.
The increased death toll in Nangarhar was announced as officials in southern Helmand province reported at least 11 civilians were killed and one wounded in two roadside bomb blasts overnight.
The U.S. attack on a tunnel complex in remote eastern Nangarhar province near the Pakistan border killed at least four IS group leaders, Khogyani said. He said a clearance operation to assess the site of the attack was continuing.
The strike using the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, or MOAB, was carried out Thursday against an Islamic State group tunnel complex carved into the mountains that Afghan forces had tried to assault repeatedly in recent weeks in fierce fighting in Nangarhar province.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -

Try not to forget the conditions which permitted IS to grow into a problem. They merely jumped in to occupy a power vacuum created when previous evil actors were eradicated by the US, and when stability within the region was absent. The climate today isn't much different, so why would the outcome?mcgruff10 said:I don't like trump at all but I see zero problems with this. We killed a lot of bad guys with that bomb while zero civilians were killed. An article I read today said a lot of locals are hoping that the U.S. Drops more bombs like this to get rid of isis.
I suspect that for every nefarious group that falls in the region, another will sprout up, because they have a quality scapegoat for their problems (Western intervention leading to visible destruction), and have tied it to one of the most powerful elements in life - a belief system such as religion. I don't feel that this problem will end until the US addresses former mistakes and shows effort to make amends in ways that can't be perceived as further destruction.'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The number of militants killed in an attack by the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military has risen to 94, an Afghan official said Saturday.
Ataullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor in Nangarhar, said the number of Islamic State group dead was up from the 36 reported a day earlier. A Ministry of Defense official had said Friday the number of dead could rise as officials assessed the bomb site in Achin district.
"Fortunately there is no report of civilians being killed in the attack," Khogyani said.
The increased death toll in Nangarhar was announced as officials in southern Helmand province reported at least 11 civilians were killed and one wounded in two roadside bomb blasts overnight.
The U.S. attack on a tunnel complex in remote eastern Nangarhar province near the Pakistan border killed at least four IS group leaders, Khogyani said. He said a clearance operation to assess the site of the attack was continuing.
The strike using the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, or MOAB, was carried out Thursday against an Islamic State group tunnel complex carved into the mountains that Afghan forces had tried to assault repeatedly in recent weeks in fierce fighting in Nangarhar province.
Hopefully we can free Syria again in 40 years...

Did anyone notice that the same day the US dropped this MOAB, they made public a nuke test in nevada, of an underground bomb that could take out North Korea's nuclear facilities?
...and nuke tests are what they're threatening North Korea over?

Yes the cia probably helped build it during the cold war. Tough to predict the future.Drowned Out said:

Yeah 92 ISIS members dead, no civilian casualties. Can anyone call a win a win? Or no matter what Trump is a bafoon?Cliffy6745 said:This seems like a pretty pretty remote area. If this were dropped on a cave/tunnel complex with no civilian causalities, what is the issue? Big if...
I didn't agree with much of what Present Obama did. But he did some good things that I alpoded. When they got Binladden that was super. And kudos to Obama for oking the mission!
The hipocracy is that if Obama had dropped this bigass bomb or if Hillary had won and this had occured, lefties would've been fine with it. But because it happened now, it's bad bad bad. And no President Trump is not in the business of dropping nuclear bombs. That is assumption is nutty.Post edited by RYME on0 -
