Extraordinary moment massive US airstrike obliterated jihadis' emblem flying on hill above Kobane

The Islamic State's black jihadist flag has been obliterated in a devastating airstrike by American forces on a Kobane hillside controlled by the militant group. In a series of images, what appears to be a lone ISIS militant can first be seen standing by the flag on Tilsehir hill near the Turkish border - after the terrorist group seized control of the strategically important hilltop 4km west of the town. Just moments later the hillside erupts into flames as the solitary flag guard looks on - and the fighter appears to stand his ground against the ferocious power of the weapon, although whether it is indeed a militant has not yet been confirmed. The images have emerged as American and Arab jets launched fresh attacks on ISIS positions in the north of Kobane - with pyrotechnic tracer ammunition lighting up the night sky and coalition warplanes destroying ISIS-held buildings with a barrage of air-to-surface missiles.

As our first "lady" would say,

"All that for a flag?"

We spent HOW MUCH money to kill one guy and a flag, for the pre-positioned TV Cameras????

The only thing that is going to “Stop” Isis is concerted and continuous carpet-bombing with B-52’s.

They certainly have mastered the art of building Soviet prefab concrete housing blocs over there.

Could be because ISIS almost took the whole town before the US amped up the airstrikes. Those buildings could of been held by ISIS if or when they were bombed.

Why not a Daisy Cutter, or MOAB or even a small nuke on their headquarters in RAQQA? Clear out the vermin quick?

How the hell can you have two Q's in a word?

Accuracy in media; When Moochie said it about Old Glory, she said, “damn flag!”

It is truly fun seeing these cockroaches being eliminated this way! However, it is expensive. We MUST find a permanent, cheap way to accomplish this.

Any ideas?
