The difference is that we dropped the biggest conventional bomb we've ever used for the first time in actual combat conditions. It's got 20,000 pounds of explosives (the Tomahawk missiles last week had 1,000 pounds each). The MOAB (dubbed "mother of all bombs") hasn't been used before for fear of collateral damage to civilian populations. I've heard conflicting reports about the targets. The bomb was designed for use against tunnels. It explodes in the air, sending a blast wave down into the ground that's designed to collapse tunnels. However, it's not designed for use against hardened defenses like caves or bunkers. If the ISIS troops were in caves, it wouldn't have much effect, but it would probably destroy a tunnel system in the area where it dropped.Bob Juch wrote:When did we stop?christie1111 wrote:What the hell is going on!
If Obama was still President, would you have said the same thing? Trump's reaction, when asked about it today, seems to indicate he knew nothing about it.silverscreenselect wrote:The difference is that we dropped the biggest conventional bomb we've ever used for the first time in actual combat conditions.

And, of course, the real purpose of this wasn't to level a few tunnels but to prove to the world once again what a macho guy Trump is.
Note this is the guy who said he's smarter than "the generals".Bob Juch wrote:Yep, Trump just confirmed he knew nothing. He said he gives his commanders "total authorization".
