Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Friday the Pentagon had ready a bunker-busting bomb that could destroy Iran’s underground nuclear facility, in case the U.S. ever had to resort to a military option to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

“We continue to improve it and upgrade over time so that there is this alternative,” Carter said in an exclusive interview with CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront,” referring to a weapon called the Massive Ordnance Penetrator.

This may be the first time the Bamster’s heard of this bomb. He skips his briefings.

Any bets the Iranians haven’t already been given the specifications and capabilities of this weapon by Islamist sympathizers in the administration?

Well, we'll have to wait until the next president to use it. Didn't Bush give some to the Israelis before he left office?

But more than likely it’ll just sit there collecting dust until at least the end of January 2017. But keep improving and updating it Mr. Carter, President Cruz may need it sooner rather than later.

I think he did just before he left office, and then Obama cancelled the delivery.

SO....

We make a “deal” with Iran,-O’bummer says so!

The ayatollah- says O’bummer lies!- and is Evil!
(man does this make me think of the Anti-christ)
also says O’bummer has been secretly writing to
him SINCE BEING ELECTED!

OUR defense Secretary— says we can bomb them!

what could go wrong with this foreign policy?

Now...I know why Hitlery HAD -a SECRET email server!

I get the feeling that if this were true, they wouldn't say so. And therefore if it's not true, they're making the claim to wave off opposition to 0bummer's deal to help the mad mullahs take over the Middle East.

Their time is also numbered and may soon be gone. Perhaps someone with a backbone will NOT draw a red line for those would cross it. It is up the American people to select someone with the balls (gender intended) to use it.

Well, we have a little less than two years left of this loser. I am hoping Israel can resist the final determination they have no other recourse but to do it themselves and potentially unleash the whirlwind.

Obama won’t bomb shit in Iran - ever.

Methinks the Defense Secretary is on assignment. He has something like 14 days to scare the Democrats into voting against, “WARRRRRR!”, so that they will vote for “PEEEEEACE”, at any price.

Weren’t we once warned against that somewhere, before?

You can’t bomb it if you don’t know where it is. Even GPS isn’t that smart. Or Google Maps either for that matter.
