Bomb, bomb, bomb - Trumps foreign policy

He had great tutors from white houses past.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Spicey said the target was a series of caves and tunnels where ISIS fighters hide.   If true, GOOD!

[Confused Democrat]

This is the day Trump became President.

Good from a tactical perspective (caving in tunnels). MOAB should have been used long ago in Korengal and other spots. It might be a dual use operation - tunnel closings but also using the BDA to scale for potential use in NK and Syria (good for mission planning).

[Inmate Trump]

He's working on his approval rating.

lol, please

     Normally I am against bombing other countries, though I make an exception for ISIS. I've heard tragically little up until now about ISIS setting up operations in Afghanistan, though.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Ten-ton bomb, folks. YUGE!

[Illiniwek]

I have to say I'm not as impressed after watching the video of the MOAB test, but it probably is bigger than it looks. I can probably get behind this, but it doesn't change my opinion of our """""commander-in-chief"""""

This, though, doing it in Afghanistan... seems weird.

which was the first?

So all you have to do to be an effective president of the United States is to drop bombs every day or every other day, regardless of failing the American people daily?

Obama preferred drones, but he'd agree.

Horrible. I hated Obama's foreign policy in the Middle East, but it was not nearly as bad as this. Plus, Obama had so much more going for him.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

A good move on his part, though I fail to see any point in staying there.

[Santander]

I don't know if sand can glow in the dark, but we're going to find out.

(Yes, I know Afghanistan is not a desert - don't ruin the fun)

Basically, yeah. At least that's what the media would make you think.

[KingSweden]

I actually researched the MOAB for one of my books (writing about a fictional high-yield subnuclear weapon). That's a serious bomb

     And you see how media outlets are not your friends. They are entities informed by certain perspectives and the backing of certain interests, whose aims happened to coincide with those of liberals for a while.
