U.S. bombers and jet fighters unleashed 40,000 pounds of explosives during a 10-minute airstrike Thursday, flattening what the military called al-Qaida in Iraq safe havens on the southern outskirts of the capital.

And what the Democrats and the lamestream media will call "civilian deaths"...

Flatten all the homes in those areas. Cinder block houses are cheap...can build new ones rather than lose our troops.

Unfortunately, they missed their targets. The Democrats and RINOs are STILL in control of Congress!!/sarc

We could hear some of that in central Baghdad. Distant thumping noises.

It was pretty cool. Nobody knew what it was at the time and we were delighted when we found out later. :-D

I love it when jihadis gets vaporized. It gives me a warm, tingly feeling all over.

20 JDAMs.

From the article:
“Thirty-eight bombs were dropped within the first 10 minutes, with a total tonnage of 40,000 pounds,”

JDAM kits fit on 500, 1000 and 2000 pounders! The Air Force celebrates diversity.

That must have been a sight to see. Wonder how many aircraft were involved.
