Wanna bet? I don't. Israelis undoubtedly working on bombs of similar capability.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And Obama will use them too. Yes he will. Right after Iran nukes Israel and “wipes it off the map”.

At 30,000 pounds, it wouldn’t have to work. They just have to drop it.

Obama will use this weapon ONLY if he is in political hot water over Benghazi or some other scandal and his numbers are severely tanking. Its a ‘wag the dog’ option for him should he need a distraction. We’ve seen this movie before.

Selling these to Israel is the kind of foreign aid I can support.

As soon as the Muslims feel good about themselves, we could rebuild the space program and institute the Rods from God. Which should have been done decades ago.
There is your anti-nuke solution. LET THEM bury it as deep as they can. RFG would bury it deeper still.
To: Rennes Templar
Rods from God followed by a few of these bombs and maybe some nuke perpetrators and we could almost bomb them form this side of the earth.

That is a heck of a rock to kick out of a plane...
To: Pan_Yan
All that is needed is a few 2-5 kiloton nukes to seal off the entries to the sites. Israel has plenty of them, so we don’t need to get involved (not that this administration would, anyway).

I’d think gutting a 747 wouldn’t take long. And they can do good air cover with their US fighters. Not optimal but doable.
To: Norm Lenhart
it'd take awhile, but yeah they could prolly do it... restructuring the fuselage for a hard point/release mechanism of that size and the bay doors are the only variables

No, C130 style...out the back. Do the 747 cargo planes have a drop down ‘tailgate’ like a C130? Not sure. But I imagine if they HAD to go such a route a standard 47 could be modified.

Dear Benjamin,
This is likely just a ploy to keep you from doing what YHVH and you need to do. You have no better friend than Him, no more security than what He provides.
Sincerely, v
To: Norm Lenhart
727’s have rear cargo door and stairs. How high does one drop this thing from? Below 20,000 feet, I’d want a C-130 doing the business.
