^^I was being sarcastic. Not exactly a surgical strike, but it looks like a remote region. I have little doubt that many non-combatants have been killed, if this strike was "successful"
And nobody really cares, as long as people aren't killed by chemicals, right?
That's exactly what I'm afraid of. This guy seems pretty smart about diversionary tactics. So the week where the report comes out with no facts to back up his claim on Obama spying, Bannon is spinning, and Trump's playing another round of golf, the smartest thing is go shoot some missiles. Few small ones in Syria, a bigger one in afgan....and North Korea, we're on our way.
While people are reacting to this, as we should be, there is slinking around going on.
"President Trump on Thursday signed a bill to nix an Obama-era rule that blocked states from defunding healthcare providers for political reasons.
The bill, which Democrats say is really an effort to defund Planned Parenthood, passed the Senate last month after Vice President Pence had to cast a tie-breaking vote.
Trump signed the measure behind closed doors in the Oval Office without media present. "
MOAB stands for Massive Ordnance Air Blast. I'm no munitions expert, but I doubt that it would do too much damage to an underground target, like a network of caves, which allegedly was targeted.
"The bomb is officially called a GBU-43 or Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), the origin of its nickname as the “mother of all bombs.” Weighing more than 21,000 lbs., the weapon is the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat."
"the MOAB bomb detonates with the power of 18,000 pounds of tritonal explosives"
>>>>doubt that it would do too much damage to an underground target, like a network of caves, which allegedly was targeted.
From what I read, it is really good at sealing up caves. It creates gigantic blast waves that penetrate deep into caves and tunnels, causing them to collapse and crushing or trapping their occupants.
