It's a good thing we've never tried launching expensive bombs at Afghanistan before.
This time, for sure, it will get rid of all terrorism forever.

What's ironic is that the Russians have the Father of all Bombs FOAB with a 4 times MOAB yield, rated at 44K TNT equivalent. They should drop it in Afghanistan just for comparison.

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 certainly made it look easy. He only bombed countries like Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia (none of which we are at war with) on more than 500 separate days. Thats not counting places we are immersed in like Libya, Syria, Iraq, or Afghanistan, which he also bombed frequently. Hell, bill clinton and w bush bombed Iraq on several hundred occasions BEFORE 2003. Fireworks are very popular among the media. Im pretty sure m.i.c. member General electric used to own msnbc.

How do you create new terrorists?  You keep bombing the crap out of their land and their families and friends.

Recruitment successful.

That's anti-American rhetoric, you commie! Terrorists are created and motivated by their hatred of our glorious freedom and their envy of our American way of life.

Again, if you supported Obama or Hillary you are a hypocritical asshole if this bothers you.

So it's easy to be understood by simple voters, these guys are hard to educate.

A lot of people still seem to the think the Dems are the party of peace, and that's very clearly not true.  People that want peace shouldn't be tricked into voting for the wrong people.

Per AP, 36 IS fighters were killed, and several IS caves and ammunition caches were destroyed.

No civilian casualties.

     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.

ISIS is basically a franchise organisation - the group in Pakistan/Afghanistan are a bunch of scraggly nobodies who want the infamy of being part of the notorious ISIS.

You know, this has never been a profound statement, despite you repeating it constantly?

36 fighters killed.

176 new fighters recruited.

This isn't how you fight terrorism.

Well, obviously this is how you fight terrorism, but the military industrial complex isn't interested in that.

36. That's $8.3 million each.

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 sort of non-sense makes the U.S. look weak to the rest of the world.  If you want people to take you seriously, you can't add inches to your dick and that's all that dropping this bomb was.  It's like trying to prove you're strong by yelling "I'm really tough."  You know what happens if you do that in a prison?  Everyone realizes immediately that you're a paper tiger and makes a sport of beating the s*** out of you and so it is with the Trump administration (both in American and international politics).

Believe it or not, it's possible to strongly disagree with a president's (or candidate's) foreign policy decisions, while approving of their domestic policy.
