And what is ISIS doing in Libya? There were none before Obama bombed the snot out of it, overthrew the government, and destabilized the whole area.

>Why didn’t 0dunga do this a year ago? The timing of this strike is HIGHLY suspect. The timing of the strike says more than the strike itself.

Just speculation: Maybe the Pentagon feels free to actually attack our enemies now that the enemy in the white house is about done.

*** Nope. 0dunga is desperately trying to DESTROY EVIDENCE of his (and Hillary’s and McCains and Brennan’s, etc.) involvement with CREATING ISIS. ***

Agreed

If these terrorists were threatening Europe, then why didn’t Europe strike them?

Sending B-2’s half-way around the world to kill 80 ISIS, doesn’t seem very cost effective.

Oh, I forgot we don’t have any carriers in the area for some reason.

The report said the B-2s flew out of Whiteman AFB.

Not that MSM reporting is reliable.

He has become pro-American at the last minute before Trump takes over.

Can’t we at least send Participation Trophies to the surviving ISIS family members?

Maybe...”Winner in President Barack Obama’s last slaughter!”

>>My personal belief is that the Obama admin was so balling up things over there, the military took over. Good job on this.

Another belief, allegedly supported by actual facts, might be that while the Golfer In Chief wasn't running the store/empire - the Clinton Global Initiative cabal was busy looting it in collusion with their usual suspect bidness partners... who are now whining that "the Russians did it" - because their cash cow didn't get elected back into its stall in the White Hut.

This series follows the ex-CEO of the Clinton Foundation from setting up the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission in 2010 as a McKinsey consultant for the Clinton Foundation through the toppling of the government of Libya, the attempted topple of the government of Syria to the present day. The series is based on an open source research project by the same name trying to find the missing children of Haiti and the missing $7.1B of USAID money.

Flight time for the pilots. Nothing much else of value in this op.

Just think how many more ISIS idiots would have been killed if it were napalm instead of explosives.

A B2 strike from a US base half a world away to kill 80 ISIS militants seems like a waste of power. Certainly there are other US assets that could have done this job with less effort. What is needed is massive carpet bombing of all ISIS areas.

It’s a good call when you consider how many anti-air missiles systems are floating around Libya.
