Sorry, cant spend the cash on bombs, since we are supporting Car companies and banks, not to mention welfare queens and ABortions on demand.
Now if the military wants money for free condoms and paintings of the cross dipped in urine............

My concern is, they will build the bombs but b. hussein will never give the order to use them.

How much did we spend to develop and test the Mother of all bombs, did we use it, hell no and they will not use this one either.MOAB was designed to replace the 15,000-lb. BLU-82 used in Vietnam, the 1991 Persian Gulf war, and against tunnel complexes in Afghanistan. Few test details are available, but blast effects extended for "hundreds of yards," said an AFRL official at the Eglin AFB, Fla., test site.

The new, 30-ft.-long, 40.5-in.-dia. weapon could be used to collapse tunnels, clear broad swaths through mine fields and barbed wire entanglements, or as an anti-personnel weapon against entrenched troops. Of the bomb's weight, 9 tons are explosives. The Air Force also has at least considered a 30,000-lb. MOAB version.

In a parallel program, the Air Force is working on a 30,000-lb. penetrator weapon, designed along the same lines as MOAB. Called "Big BLU," it also is designed for launch from a B-2. The added mass would give the weapon greater penetration for hitting targets buried deep underground. Currently, the Air Force uses 5,000-lb.- class GBU-28s and GBU-37s as its largest penetrating bomb.

And this last pargraph says we have already done this, another cash cow defense contractor trying to get rich.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/874758/posts

Who is the Pentagon kidding!? Why spend the money? The usurper would never use it anyway. The USA has officially become a paper tiger.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) asked Congress for permission to move $68 million in the 2010 DOD budget to the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bunker buster program to enable the first four super bombs can be carried by the B-2 stealth bomber by next year, according to published reports.
