JUST IN : Mattis Celebrates First Day At Pentagon By Ordering 31 Strikes Against ISIS!
Secretary of Defense James Mattis celebrated his first full day at the Pentagon by overseeing 31 strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
ISIS better watch out now that we have “Mad Dog” Mattis in charge!
From the Daily Caller
Newly minted Secretary of Defense James Mattis celebrated his first full day at the Pentagon by overseeing 31 strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Mattis entered the Pentagon Saturday with a smile for his first full day of work, and for good reason, considering the significant bombardment ISIS forces received.
A variety of fighters, bombers and remotely piloted aircraft engaged in the bombing run, which saw 25 strikes in Syria and six in Iraq. In Syria, two strikes destroyed ISIS units and artillery near the town of Bab. ISIS forces in Raqqa, the terrorist group’s de facto capital, took a heavy beating, as 22 strikes destroyed 12 tactical units, nine fighting positions, two underground improvised explosive bomb factories and an ISIS headquarters. The final strike targeted two ISIS oil wells in Deir ez Zour.

ISIS forces in Iraq suffered several casualties as well. One strike in the city of Rutbah destroyed a tactical unit and vehicle, two weapons caches and a mortar. Another in Beiji left a unit and vehicle destroyed. A strike in Kisik destroyed a building and tactical unit. Another in Tal Afar also destroyed a unit, truck and command node. The city of Mosul, which acts as the terrorist group’s regional capital in Iraq, received two strikes, which destroyed two units, three fighting positions, a tank, and a car bomb factory.
President Donald Trump promised during his campaign that he would destroy ISIS as quickly as possible. He said on his first day in office he would convene his top generals and order them to provide a plan to eradicate ISIS once and for all within 30 days. As the new head of the Pentagon, Mattis would be expected to enact whatever plan goes forward. The former Marine general is a known critic of the Obama administration’s ISIS policy, having once referred to it as full of “half measures.”

long as Obama doesn’t get advanced notice of the airstrikes, he won’t be able to tell his muslim friends there where to go and hide.

I hope & pray obama get tried & convicted as a TRAITOR !!
Amen to that.
Well said. We all know Obama’s heart and soul are not with the United States and its people. His heart and soul are with the jihad.
At least now we do not have a muslim in office paying isis then bombing them. Now, we have a real COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND MAD DOG doing the driving.
Absolutely correct.
the obama/isis duality is gone. now what to do about the root of all our problems, the saudis….
Yes, I am starting to breathe in fresh air coming from Washington. Very little talk but big action ! Extremely proud that I have supported DJT all the way !
Wow! He doesn’t waste any time either. That’s why Trump chose him. Mattis is a no none sense power mean machine! Go Mattis!
I can get used to this pretty quickly and it only has begun.
I hope the 0blowhard is enjoying his time in the CA torrential rains and storms slated to blow out power. As soon as he flew into CA the storms started. Do you believe in omens? God is good.
THE BEST WAY TO BEAT ISIS IS TO CUT OFF THEIR OIL SUPPLY WITHOUT THAT THEY WILL HAVE NO MONEY OR FUEL
