Here comes the thunder...

Well, I reckon the fireworks display that our Commander in Chief told ISIS would be coming for awhile now has started. (I'm not real sure why we felt the need to let our enemy know well in advance that we were going to strike, but whatever...I doubt that came from military advisers.) Hopefully we had good and ongoing intelligence and they didn't just move their stuff. We'll start seeing some aftermath of the initial wave today, I'm sure.

If you're going to go, go hard, and bomb the living hell out of them.

I find it interesting reading on CNN this morning that we also threw some Khorasan targets into the package, because of "imminent threats" to the homeland from this group that were "nearing the end of their planning stages." That's reassuring. How many different **** radical groups are there? Al Qaeda, ISIS/ISIL, now this Khorasan bunch...and a hundred other little off-shoots and variations. Could there be a more confused place on Earth? I mean, really? How in the heck do you know who is fighting with who and for what?

All I know anymore is to throw all of them in a big bucket of "people who would like to see me dead" and thank God for our military that does what they do, even under an administration that has done everything they can to weaken them. Bless our men and women over there in the skies and on the seas and in the sand...and keep them one step ahead of the enemy.

Spot on target. Personally the middle east is one big CF and needs to be melted down into Camel pellets...yea yea I know we can't do that but a guy can dream can't he.....
Wack'em Pack'em and Stack'em...........As Col Ralph Peters said...'You kill them and you keep killing them until you kill the last one and then you kill his pet Goat"

Tight Mark...his goat too?

Seriously, your point that the region is an unsolvable mess is on target.

I agree. I really wish we would just behead captured terrorists execute any known terrorists and show no mercy on any country that gets in outer way. It's not PC and I know that but I'm not a politician. I'm just sick of the pussyfooting we do as a nation. Bombings are not enough but it's a good start.

Oh forgot to add.....I'm totally into the footage of those bombs destroying the mud huts!! Mess with the bull and you will get the horn!! :mad:

what ever happened to napalm? That stuff got a lot of folks to change their attitudes.
