....And we have not even heard from Shep Smith at Fox yet.... He’ll surely have something much more dramatic to say than that he’s feeling a little queasy.

and rarely impacts the score,


It does if there were thousands of ISIS holed up in tunnels and caves under it and all the entrances and exits are suddenly, permanently sealed.

If you remember Desert Shield in 1990...

It was Saddam Hussein who went around
talking about the “Mother of all battles”

And now the media thinks it’s cool to use
this “Mother of all (fill in the blank)”...phrase.

WTF!

It’s not about beating that team.
It’s about making clear to the next team that we have such capabilities in excess, and will think nothing of using it when appropriate. ...while the NK team has _maybe_ one high-power weapon, pathetic capability of delivering it, and will get the $#!^ beaten out of them if they try using it.
