ISIS Opens a 5-Star Hotel in Mosul



I'd like to see the Happy Hour Specials in their lounge.

A Tomahawk would help with the decor.

Enjoy new found wealth and satisfaction you struck a blow for sanity.

The MOAB (GBU 43) is an air burst weapon so it would take out a shit load of other stuff in Mosul and kill a lot of innocent people. The GBU 57 is a "bunker buster". It would detonate after penetrating the hotel. Collateral damage would still be pretty significant but nothing like with an air burst.

Both bombs are well over 20,000 lbs!

I find it hard to believe this hotel exists.

Probably someone is playing with the public.

The hotel apparently existed before Daesh took control of Mosul. It's merely a question of its having changed hands... and purpose.
