New video released by the Pentagon late Friday night shows U.S. military aircrafts striking Islamic State terror sites.
Below two F/A-18 aircraft dropped 500-pound laser-guided bombs on a mobile artillery piece near Irbil, the capital of Iraq’s Kurdistan region. Notice all the terrorists gathered around the artillery piece: Feel good story of the day.

Beautiful video. Thanks for posting. :patriot:

I remember videos of blowing up stuff in Afghanistan in 2001, and in Iraq in 2003.
With no long term intention to unconditionally obtain surrender from the enemies, or hold the territory, I am less impressed now.
This stuff is merely positive PR for Obama and for US military's fireworks.
But it is NOT a replacement for sound, long term foreign policy.
Besides Obama telegraphs all his moves, so the bad guys are well clear of the explosions, which destroy (American) military equipment abandoned by the fleeing cowardly Iraqi military.

yah. Great video of a single 500 pound bomb on a 600 mile wide front.
We don't need to piss on these guys, we need to give them the boot, and this didn't even get them significantly wet. I look for Obammy to point to this as proof of him "doing something", cutting his losses and pulling out as fast as he can.
