So you have no proof. Just as I thought. We were also told about the airport being destroyed in Syria.

Not really. The Syria attack wasn't intended to produce casualties; especially Russian casualties.
 
Re: Breaking. US drops MOAB in Afghanistan.

CNN Analyst they had talking a bit ago indicated that for the target in question, this was actually a very appropriate use of force due to the type of attack necessary on the cave structure.

Perhaps the actual facts and realities of the situation flew right past people...I shouldn't be shocked.

And yet, as more and more facts suggest this is a perfectly legitimate and reasonable use of military weaponry, people are attempting to change the subject and divert by making snarky comments about Trump. Coininky dink? Sure doesn't look like it.

Re: Breaking. US drops MOAB in Afghanistan.

Speaking personally, any bomb dropped on those beheading, torturing, selling women into slavery bastards is a good thing, regardless of who drops it and how big it is.

Whatever. It slides off a sled that slid off the ass end of a cargo plane and I just don't see much of an opportunity to be meaningfully directed anywhere.

The GBU-43/B is large, powerful and accurately delivered. high explosive. The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb [MOAB] weapon is a 21,000 lbs total weight GPS-guided munition with fins and inertial gyro for pitch and roll control.

The MOAB is the largest-ever satellite-guided, air-delivered weapon in history [not the largest ever, but the largest satellite guided].

I have no problem with the fact that the bomb itself may well have hit its target, destroyed its target and be the right call.

It's just the irony of it all. Based upon Trump's Nuke comments. It could be a total coincidence. Especially with The Cheeto.

Lol !....Hillarious !

Trump said he was going to bomb the **** out of ISIS amd I guess he meant it.

He dropped a MOAB on them. I like the quote from the Army where they said they " kicked out the back door " of a C-130.
Thats almiost literally how you deploy a MOAB.

I bet this is making Obama and the Dems rather nervous too.

Yup just what I said they (you) hate trump and that is all this thread is! Look at the way you started this thread and your stupid "Cheeto" comment.

Still hurting over Hillary are we?

the proof is in the fact that dropped a bomb with a 1mile blast radius.
that is proof enough.

yes they did destroy an airbase I guess you didn't see that either.
it was in the news. you even quoted an article that showed they dropped MOAB on
tunnels.

are you saying that the tunnels were not destroyed? where is your proof of this?

LOLOLOLOL Now you're asking me the same question you couldn't answer. Priceless.
 
Re: Breaking. US drops MOAB in Afghanistan.

I am 100% against American involvement in Syria (and I am not debating it here...been there, done that to death).

But I don't quite see the big deal about this.

A giant, conventional bomb was pushed out the back of a C-130.

How is this all that different from all the other bombs dropped so far...other than this one is a LOT bigger?

Assuming it landed on troops/terrorists...what's the big deal?

Make **** up why don't you?

I simply said we have no proof that the bomb hit ISIS tunnels. It may well have, but that is not public information. To suggest it is fact is idiotic.

It was assumed that the airfield was destroyed in Syria. It wasn't as is proven by the fact that Syrian jets used it the next day. The truth ultimately will come out.

Where is your proof that they aren't? you are spouting conjecture as an argument.

There is no reason to waste bombs on concrete. Destroying the infrastructure was much more devastating.
those where the jets already there.



LOLOLOLOL Now you're asking me the same question you couldn't answer. Priceless.

Because you are the one making the claims. I have proof that they dropped a bomb with a 1mile blast radius
that is designed to take out under ground tunnels etc ...

that is the whole purpose of the bomb.

the fact is you have 0 evidence to say that it didn't take out anything.
I on the other than can easily say that it did.

they did destroy the airbase. I guess you didn't read the news reports. ol well not my issue.

I am not making anything up it is right here in black and white and you just said it again that a bomb with a 1 mile blast radius
didn't take out anything.

so I am asking you for proof of this and you can't provide it.
