Dear President US, don't through these small bom unnecessary on Iraq and Syria. You can make more money out of it by open market sale. Drop 2 Hydrogen bom in each country and level them on ground. As you did in Japan, then Korea, then Vietnam, then Panama (Colombia), Then Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Pakistan etc. Just try to save their Oil wells and refineries.
Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all Americans.
