U.S. forces have dropped what is known as the "mother of all bombs" in Afghanistan. The device is the largest non-nuclear device in the Air Force arsenal, Fox News' Jennifer Griffin reported. It was dropped in Nangarhar Province, an eastern area near the Pakistan border. It's the first time the 21,000-pound ordnance has been used in combat, said Griffin. The device, developed in 2003 by the U.S. Air Force, is called the M.O.A.B, short for Massive Ordnance Air Blast. It's often referred to as the "mother of all bombs." Watch the report above.

I may not agree with what Muslims believe .. but that does not make the ALL stupid.
The mistake was believing Obama would continue with the program .. when in reality, Obama’s intents were always to destroy everything he possibly could.
The fact you won’t admin it was Obama who squandered the WIN in Iraq, proves two things; you’re a DemocRAT who’s slavishly tied to Obama and you cannot admit his removing the troops was a very BAD idea.
Yes we are with President TRUMP in the lead!
Thank God!
Just so I know, how many American soldiers are within 100 miles of the Syrian air base that Trump bombed?
My guess - zero.
WooHOO!
Yes we have a President that hears his Generals and US!
Wow how I knew he would not disappoint US!
God Bless President Trump and America!
Zawahiri maybe ??>>>>>>>>>>>
Fat Frog Boy Kim Jung Un is looking at MOAB and wondering just how much shrapnel his corpulent buttocks can absorb.
1 mile blast diameter.
A couple of thoughts...We know Obama would never had allowed the MOAB to be used but let’s just entertain the notion that he had. How likely is it that the aircrew’s subsequent sorties would be known by our adversaries and ultimately that they would be blown out of the sky? And how thankful must that same crew be to serve under an administration that values and respects them?
So, you’re expecting the wind to stay at the base ..????
So, you are ignorant. The wind will go where it wants. Even you cannot control it .. LOL
And .. I’m sorry, but I don’t give away our military locations .. and you ..??????
All I find at the moment is recent stuff pertaining to the Afghanistan strike much of which has MOAB, MOP and FOAB being used interchangeably which causes credibility issues.
I do however suspect that you are correct about the GBU-43/B being deliverable only by the C-130 and C-17.
I haven’t heard any reports on how many of ISIS were killed or injured or how badly the tunnels were damaged, but I hope they were utterly destroyed!
Zawahiri ..???
I thought he was DEAD ..!!!
How about the “father of all detonations” so the acronym is “FOAD”?

Isaiah 17:1, and Damascus was destroyed in a day.
I believe the device is too big for conventional bombers so they just palletize it and roll it out the rear ramp of a C-130.

Works for me! LOL!
Active Duty ping.
We should build one that is bigger than the Russian one. We should have the best.
“...His education( all 5-6 years at NYMA) prepared him to be CIC...”
I didn’t know he went to NYMA for that long. Good to know.
You have to chase ISIS down.
They have to be stopped.
Remember what these people are doing across Europe, Africa, around the world.
Their ideologies are completely intolerant of other people existing with different beliefs anywhere.
It is death to all those who won’t convert to radical Islam, and submit to Sharia law. This includes even non-radical Islamist.
They traffic underage sex slaves, rape young boys and girls, throw people without trials from rooftops, etc.
In Sweden the are raping kidnapping the women and young girls.
It’s truly a demonic cult. A spreading cancer of deceitful lies.
What are the options, think Hitler 1941.
