Ughh! Trump says he authorized "my military"

[Freethinker65]

1. Is this more about showing up NK than ISIS?

"Now watch this drive"

[niyad]

2. and FUCK calling these penis-shaped death dealing instruments "MOTHER"

[tenorly]

14. But my, how their base loves it when they do.

[katmondoo]

3. What was the reason for using this bomb

so far no one has said

[heaven05]

5. To show how big

his testicles are?

[hack89]

21. That is where The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - Khorasan Province has their main base

the US and Afgan military has been trying to eradicate them for several years.

[xor]

29. Any idea if it worked?

taking out these twisted ISIS and ISIS-like folks isn't something I'm against. I just don't trust Trump and the people he put in charge of these things. Always feel like there are other motives for everything they do.

[hack89]

30. It is not a super weapon.

If it was on target it most likely did a lot of damage but bombing in the mountains is a tricky proposition. All the valleys and ravines limit the radius of damage - if ISIS had their base dispersed over a fairly wide area then it is unlikely that they suffered catastrophic damage.

[xor]

32. Haven't heard much about MOABs since the mid-2000's.

Neither Obama or Bush ever seemed to have used them. Which makes me suspicious of Trump's motives. Maybe they just wanted to try it out and they saw it as a place to do it due to few civilians in the area, aye?

[hack89]

35. Hard to say

you can't discount the psychological impact of such a weapon.

[burrowowl]

43. It creates a firestorm

and eliminates breathable air within a radius of a mile or so while it burns.

[hack89]

46. Not really

It is not a FAE or thermobaric weapon. The explosive material is Tritonal, which is used in most US conventional bombs.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

49. I thought we had used a MOAB previously. maybe I'm confusing it with thermobaric.

Have we used thermobarics in Afghanistan?

[hack89]

52. Once in 2002

And it was a much smaller weapon at 2000 pounds. Thermobaric warheads are very common on small handheld anti-tank rockets and a lot if them have been fired. There is also a thermobaric version of the Hellfire helicopter launched missile.

[burrowowl]

53. I'm sorry

just a blast weapon which does suck the air out.

[hack89]

54. No. A weapon that kills with a high pressure blast wave

Like every other conventional bomb. You will be little pieces well before you have to worry about lack of air.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

24. My first thought too...

was like wait! What?

[heaven05]

4. he's such a wanna be

war prezident POS. I even hate the ignorant arrogance that always shows on that stupid looking face of a fucking neanderthal potus.....WWIII, here we come. Just hold on, we will catch up.

[Demtexan]

6. What about the babies.

No babies.

No babies anywhere in the area.

[Javaman]

26. only if they are white and/or a good quote for the press. nt

[Demtexan]

38. Yep

He doesn't care little american babies.

American babies kicked off of Obama care.

Nothing but a monster.

[Initech]

50. They don't give a rat's ass.

Remember - this is the party that claims that the murder of 20 school children was a false flag operation.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Okay,did we ever find out the Death toll after

the last time one of these suckers where used? That was Baghdad,how many thousands,heard stories from Marines who entered that later on.

This Stupid Idiot of a President just amped up the Global Threats. You know darn well there will be some Militant payback.

[EX500rider]

48. This was the 1st time it was used in combat.

[Vinca]

8. Wonder how many more "beautiful babies" were killed.

[EX500rider]

17. In ISIS tunnels complex's up in the mountains?

I'd guess none?

[atreides1]

25. Are you sure?

Was it possible that there might have been some villages in the area that was bombed?

[EX500rider]

47. Lots of things are possible...

.....but I doubt a ISIS underground mountain base is near enough to any villages to cause damage.

[C Moon]

9. I'm thinking he did this (they did this) to bury the news of the 18 allied soldiers killed...

in the Syrian missile attack.
Another Trump fail.
It's crazy that these MFr's focus on killing to gain popularity. And it usually works.

[petronius]

18. Yup. And remember he gave himself an 'out' a while back, announcing that the

military had more authority to do stuff on its own. So, successful (or 'exciting') outcomes will be for tRump's credit-stealing, and screw-ups are the military's fault...

[packman]

10. Next stop - Nuclear Junction

First a botched raid, then more troops in Syria, then bombing this and that, then Tomahawk missiles, now MO AB. Just wait till his approval rating reaches around 30% of so --

[0rganism]

11. ooh so presidential!

very very extremely presidential, definitely the most awesomely presidential president ever! HUGE hands.

[aeromanKC]

12. These Bomb toys are fun!!

What else we got in the toy box!!??

[Demtexan]

15. He is playing with all his new toys.

You know asking using the big one.

To see the beautiful mushroom cloud.

What a sad ugly man.

And to hell to the people voted for him.

[wendyb]

13. 'my military'

If you listen closely, at some point he says,'my military'

[Fast Walker 52]

33. yeah, that's what got me. Sick!

[stillsoleft]

16. What cake was he eating?

And was it beautiful, or just a 4

[Fast Walker 52]

34. what kind of cake goes well with this bomb???

maybe urinal cake?

[mac56]

19. He done blowed it up real good!

[truthisfreedom]

20. It's exceedingly clear why he had to blow one of these moabs off.

There was a universal dissatisfaction with the lack of destructive power from the 60 Tomahawk missiles that left an airfield intact enough to launch more attacks the same day. He can't handle being the "can't blow shit up" president after his arrangement with pootie left him looking anemic.

[cstanleytech]

23. Agreed its like a gladiator games for him he is trying to find something to appease his supporters

because he is afraid they will turn on him if he doesnt keep feeding them more and more blood.

[xor]

31. You're probably onto something with that. If so, I hope it was only ISIS shits who were killed

and there weren't any civilians in the area. I don't want to be that "attack everything he does" sort of person, but I just don't trust anything he does.

[Bengus81]

22. Let's see RESULTS before breaking your arm patting yourself on the back Trump...

Haven't heard anything yet. So the military was successful pushing this thing out the back of an aircraft,big woop.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. When asked if he approved it he danced around that, obviously he wont

claim credit until it is known if it was successful.

[Fast Walker 52]

36. what upset me was him saying him he "authorized my military"

[Eliot Rosewater]

37. Trump voters love it when he says fascist, dictator stuff like that.

Half of this country loves having a fascist dictator in charge.

[Kablooie]

28. So he's proud that it exploded

But he has no idea yet of the results which is all that matters.

Or maybe he's just proud of himself for allowing the military to use it.

[smirkymonkey]

42. Yeah, exactly. Can somebody educate me?

What exactly was so "successful" about this? I would really like to know.

Did it make his dick hard for the first time in 20 years?

[Kablooie]

45. The big thing went boom. Thrilling to our president.

[chelsea0011]

39. He actually said that the past 8 weeks have done more damage than the previous

8 years. Nevermind that ISIS was being beaten on all fronts before he "gulp" became POTUS. He truly is demented.

[AnnaLee]

40. Boys, toys, and other people's money.

I think I see a trend.

[Initech]

41. We only use tremendous, tremendous bombs, ok?

They have the best explosions, too. Phenomenal explosions! The only explosions powerful enough to carry the Trump seal of approval.

[Honeycombe8]

44. It reminds the Draft Dodger of when he played with his military toys. nt

[pansypoo53219]

51. bombs mean success. BOOM. see, turnip did that.

not like sissy obama.
