So, what do you think - purely tactical decision or strategic message to Iran/NK?

45 = 45th President? I'm losing track of all these silly names.

Well... if I take my tinfoil hat off, I'd say it weas in response to the GCHQ stuff this morning ;)

But... I know these strikes take a minute to plan, so I'm gonna come down on the side of "Tactical middle finger to ISIS".

Iran will LOL and NK will drool on himself and order another nuke test. ;)

I'm trying to figure out how, if the MOAB was used to target a tunnel system, they already know that it only killed ~36 people.

That's good of you, but I don't believe your approval of individual tactical decisions is necessary.

Pre-strike recon and then the observed after effects are used to generate an estimate.

Also on a decidedly non-professional note I love that it's bright orange.

They have up'd the estimate now. It just seemed oddly specific.

Any time you're talking double-digit or single-digit numbers it's going to be a fairly specific number, although there's still most likely a +/- associated with it.

Don't suck your thumb. You're much too old for that.

On a side note. Fox and Friends is a microcosm of what is wrong with this country.

"There are media outlets I disagree with" is rather the entire point of living in a free country.

Right-wing nutjobbery isn't enough to illustrate what's wrong with this country. We need a left-wing nutjob to complain about it as if their own **** don't stink.
