Israel concerned that recently purchased laser-guided bombs may carry defective fuses that could cause premature detonation. Talkbacks ()

Israel is seeking clarifications from the United States to ensure that bunker buster bombs it recently purchased are not carrying defective fuses that could cause their premature detonation.

The laser-guided bomb, GBU-28, weighs about 5,000 pounds and is reportedly capable of penetrating 100 feet of dirt or alternatively 20 feet of concrete. The bomb was initially developed in the 1990s to penetrate hardened Iraqi command centers located underground.

You don’t think... no, can’t be right? Tell me it is not so, please.

[yarddog]

I used to have that problem.

Look on the underside and see if it says “Made in China”.

There’d be your first clue.

Intentional????????

Couldn’t they just pull a sampling of fuzes and try them?

Obama gave his Islamist buddies our stealth technology so why not give his Jew enemies dud bombs?

At least the POS POTUS SOB is consistent.

[bigheadfred]

I think they deserve a free upgrade.

"Obama gave his Islamist buddies our stealth technology so why not give his Jew enemies dud bombs?"

I was thinking the same thing. . . . . .

hmmm - It looks like Israel is telling dinner jacket they have bunker busters

[momincombatboots]

Duds? I thought premature detonation would mean blowing up the Israelis.. now why would he do that?

[cableguymn]

I’m in on your theory as well..

And I’m all out of tin foil. I would not put this past Zero.

My first thoughts also

In today's real world, arriving at such conclusions makes one both KKK racist, tin foil hat conspiratorial and Churchill like prescient supreme—and rational.

Hope our women learn how to sew jewelry into our clothing before the trucks arrive to take us away.

Fortunately it doesn’t seem to be the case. The manufacturer is being investigated and fined for defects. A number of defective fuses went to US Army. It is not just Israel.

I am more concerned that there is deep and wide infiltration in our military and military industrial complex of Muslims, other enemies and general treasonous POS that have been bought.

Obama is a clown, but he can’t just order defective fuses and our secret spy planes to land in Iran. We need a massive weeding out of bad guys.

Well, I guess if Israel can’t trust the fuses of those bunker busters, they’ll just have to “go with what they know” and drop nukes on Iran.

Hey, it’s only fair. Iran wants nukes, Israel gives ‘em some.

Although not exactly the way that little bearded Sonny Bono look-alike and his jackwagon mullahs envision.

Wow dial a yield from under a kiloton to a few hundred kilotons?

[Iron Munro]

How many muslims working in the armory where these were manufactured?

The simplest explanation is usually correct (Occam's Razor) .

Unfortunately it is usually the first rejected at FR. After several conspiracy theories hatch, the conclusion returns invariably to, the simplest explanation.
