The Pentagon is speeding up delivery of a colossal bomb designed to destroy hidden weapons bunkers buried underground and shielded by 10,000 pounds of reinforced concrete.
Call it Plan B for dealing with Iran, which recently revealed a long-suspected nuclear site deep inside a mountain near the holy city of Qom.

FoxNews reported that the U.S. and Israel started a joint military training exercise Monday which is usually done in the spring...gee, I wonder if they are planning on testing a new bunker buster...maybe when we leave, we forget and leave a few extras at an Israeli airbase...hhmmmm

The Pentagon is speeding up delivery of a colossal bomb designed to destroy hidden weapons bunkers buried underground and shielded by 10,000 pounds of reinforced concrete.... but that's only if the Earth continues to warm at the current rate of Global Warming. Seriously, who rights this cr@p?

Clinton sent the Apaches to Kosovo because IT PLAYED WELL.
Clinton attacked mud-huts and an aspirin factory (at night after all had returned home) because IT PLAYED WELL.
George Bush ordered (unarmed) Nat’l Guard onto the border because IT PLAYED WELL.
Obama orders this R&D because IT PLAYS WELL.
Does ANYONE really think that this guy —esp after winning the NblPrize— will DO anything..?
NOT IN ZILLION YEARS.
Watch for many MORE reports of this oooooh-so-dastardly bomb —the bad comics are the ones who feel the need to keep repeating the punch line.....

Why bother?
By the time Obama completes an Environmental Impact study on the use of one of these, it will be far too late to care.
