Tons? The bombs are heavy, the smart doesn’t weigh much.

[PGalt]

Are they arming their citizens, also?

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

Gulf States buying smart bombs?

Are we talking Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana?

This is hugh and series.

[McGruff]

Shiites vs Sunnis. You ahead kill each other off. Saving us from having to.

Smart bombs are and expensive and ineffective way to kill jihadis. You can't bomb them into the stone age; they are there already.

What is needed is low cost, mass kill stuff like carpet bombing and diesel bombs, plus giving the Kurds all of the flame throwers they can carry.

Either way, since 1991, we've known that tanks and technicals coming across the desert make really good targets for precision weapons.

That is funny and sick at the same time.

“Smart bombs are and expensive and ineffective way to kill jihadis. You can’t bomb them into the stone age; they are there already.”

Yep, I suspect these arms sales worry the Israelis more than ISIS.

“What is needed is low cost, mass kill stuff like carpet bombing and diesel bombs, plus giving the Kurds all of the flame throwers they can carry.”

Napalm and cluster bombs. Too bad they’ve both been “outlawed”. It’s ridiculous to say that some lethal weapon is “less humane” than some other lethal weapon. Tell that to someone who’s lungs have been shredded by a conventional bomb shock wave...

Cluster bombs in particular are highly effective, and the technology is there to almost completely prevent dud bomblets.

[Tenacious 1]

Are we talking Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana?

That's funny right there.

Keep selling it to them so as to fund our research and development. The key point is to have them use THEIR money.

I’m sure Texas will use them wisely.

[kjam22]

RTN, LMT, GD, OSK, NOC, TXT, COL These are were people should have some money invested.

[JEDI4S]

Why don't we give them the bombs for free? We can “drop them off”by special air mail. The Gulf states are no more our FRiend than Barrack Insane Osama.

Eagles Up !!!!!

[Raymann]

Yep! Time to seize the whiskey fields of Tennessee and Kentucky!

[Vinnie]

Smart bombs to ME countries? Big mistake!

You know the ultimate target!!

[GingisK]

I’m fond of cluster bombs.

[Rebelbase]

Blood for whiskey has been an Appalachian thing for a huner’d plus years.

[tanknetter]

The bombs they’re buying aren’t for their own use.

They’re for OUR use. When WE have to come in and save their a**es from Iran.

What does Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi want with a bunch of smart bombs? Planning to start another Civil War?
