Business Insider: F-35s and F-15s just obliterated an entire Iraqi island to root out ISIS fighters
* US Air Force F-15 Strike Eagles and F-35 Lightning II aircraft dropped 80,000 pounds of bombs on an island in Iraq's Salah al-Din province believed to be used as a transit point for ISIS fighters between Syrian and Iraqi cities.
* "We're denying Daesh the ability to hide on Qanus Island," Maj. Gen. Eric T. Hill, the commander of Operation Inherent Resolve's Special Operations Joint Task Force, said in a press release, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.
* Although President Donald Trump said earlier this year that ISIS was defeated, the militant group has been resurgent in Iraq and Syria, at least partly because of Trump's decisions to pull troops out of Syria, create a diplomatic vacuum in Iraq, and focus attention in the region on Iranian activity.
On Tuesday, US and Iraqi forces dropped 80,000 pounds of munitions on Qanus Island, in Iraq's Salah-al-Din province, to destroy what Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) called a "safe haven" for ISIS fighters traveling from Syria into Iraq.
"We're denying Daesh the ability to hide on Qanus Island," Maj. Gen. Eric T. Hill, the commander of OIR's Special Operations Joint Task Force, said in a press release, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.
Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Col. Myles Caggins tweeted a video of the operation on Tuesday morning that shows bombs carpeting the tree-lined island from end to end, saying the island was "Daesh infested."

THE ACTUAL SECURITY ADVISOR
Trump’s Taliban Meeting Was Failed Effort to Rush Peace Deal
Been negotiating for over a year?
Rushed?
Arnold Schwarzenegger was a lousy governor and while not a poster boy for the #Metoo movement there is smoke there.
If you are Trumpian, the last thing you want to do is belittle Dems about women...see Epstein blogroll
'Rick Scott had us on lockdown': how Florida said no to $70m for HIV crisis | US news | The Guardian
I hate to admit it, but President Mbeki had a point. He denied there was link between HIV and AIDS. It seems that MSM transmits HIV faster than you would expect than simple muscosal tearing, but gays are still in denial. You have to be quiet about that, because they are insistent that what they do is natural. It is not. We (society) let them get away with that whopper, how can we possibly surprised when they spring the mother of all whoppers on us, transexuals?
Why is guys screwing other guys our problem. To be a purist about it, staying out the the bedroom, means that we are not responsible for the results of their bedroom antics.
After all they had the fun and all they want to do is stick us with the bill.
The problems with gays and other liberals is that anal sex passes HIV orders of magnitude more than vaginal sex. Why are liberals such science deniers?
(See The Optimal Penalty for Sexually Transmitting HIV)
Liberals are the original deniers.
There is no gay gene not that liberals care anymore. The lie got them over the goal line and that is all that matters, right?
Liberals are the ones making living so expensive with their constant Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy meddling. They are making people less than betas and causing them to be gay. Liberals will love you to death and then celebrate when you pass. They need their elbow room after all.
And liberals need lots of elbow room, they want to turn over 1/2 the Earth into a game preserve.
We could solve the problem of HIV quite easily, but liberals want their sex and they want it now.
Epstein black book/ blogroll is Democrat.
"Trump's political party affiliation has changed numerous times over the years. He registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987, switched to the Reform Party in 1999, the Democratic Party in 2001, and back to the Republican Party in 2009.[286] He made donations to both the Democratic and the Republican party, party committees, and candidates until 2010 when he stopped donating to Democrats and increased his donations to Republicans considerably."
We have he list of names.. Lets put it in a spreadsheet or table, so we can sort by party affiliation.
Way way more Democrats. Almost exclusive.

The same result in every country that liberals are in charge of immigration policies.
In Sweden paramedics want bulletproof vest, because new liberal voters shoot at them.
Why are liberals such ungrateful fucks?
Elie Wiesel is in Epstein's black book.
Maybe we'll find someone else's name in the black book?
Epstein book was a compilation of people of importance he knew. What was sexual, perverse, etc. was separate. to conflate the two and accuse as you do some people is simply wrong and idiotic....you can not accuse a person of messing around with underage girls because a name was in a phone book...do you think that would stand up in court or in the mind of any reasonable and decent person? ps:Trump had more than his name in a rolodex. He got filmed with many young women and Epstein, and is on record of saying Epstein likes young girls and is a great guy
I am awaiting results from the bombing. With visuals, of course, and no CNN gasbags allowed. A couple of us on this site remember one of the first B-52 raids hit nothing but the Laotion jungle, according to recon patrol follow ups.
