Another good name, "Thump".
oh yeah Thumper was a rabbit with big feet and wasn't very smart....
Either Thumper is trying to call out the sandworm or he's trying to vex the Grey's.
MOAB is the biggest non-nuclear bomb the U.S. has. Today is the first time it was ever used. Thumpa got an ego problem
The plan for the attack was in the works for months(possibly before Trump was in office?), and the request to use the bomb was made by the military - not Trump. Besides, they were bombing ISIS, and I haven't heard of any collateral damage...so where's the complaint?

They didn't drop in on the Greasy Obese Party's headquarters.
not worried about ISIS. I'm worried about Trump getting in over his head
you wanna drop a bomb on a greaseball? That would be messy
Seems like the U.S armies attempt to intimidate Isis in the region. Now their will be more mass immigration to escape the region due to it. Its easy to blame trump, but this was all planned before he came into power.

Anybody got a link for that?
there was a dead whale on the beach in oregon couple years ago. Oregon officials forgot there are still whalers working today that could have told them how to get rid of the whale. They tried dynamite and made a big mess; and still had a whale on the beach. Dynamite works much better on rocks than whale fat

A tug and a quarter mile of cable would have done the trick.

Every President, back to Washington, including Obama, makes war on someone. It is what they do.

Yeah, but not near as exciting. They could try dropping a MOAB next time.

Actually does now show him as praising the use of the bomb, through did find out it was created back in 2003 under George W Bush, so even he didn't consider using it then.

Worse, insiders say today that Trump will move 50,000 to 150,000 of my fellow Americans to Syria. Guess the Chinese will have to handle the NorKs on their own.

I agree .. letting the MIC drive the tour bus is stupid. I = Intel, not Industry. So when you have to move, and start at a new school ... do you challenge all the other boys in your grade to a fist fight, and offer to fight them all at the same time? NYC stupid.
What exactly is there in Afghanistan to bomb? Tents? Caves? Goat herders? Is dumbass really picking yet another fight?

Caves are natural, and much tougher, bunkers. The terrain favors them in that area. The MOAB was developed in '03 but the tactical situation that would require deployment never developed to the "GO" point.

They say this was planned pre-T.rump. So now PR will think it's a stupid idea.

Not really ... Obama was such a pacifist ... so was Hillary ;-)

Yeah, usually when their approval numbers are low, and they need a ratings boost. It's just par for the course.
Maybe Chump's trying to show Kim in N. Korea just how tough he is, and he's maybe threatening N. Korea so S. Korea will give him a better deal as he tries to revamp the S. Korean trade pact.
Sometimes it feels like international politics is just a group of street gangs trying to swagger their dick sizes to one another on whos the most badass and 'no be dissin mah hood', but every so often you get one gang member who takes it to far.
