Let's hope that there was nothing left of OBL but a few teeth so we know for sure that we got him. This kind of throws a wrench into his TV suicide plan.

[OK]

the reverberation effect that goes up in those caves should have some sort of negative effect,'' he said.

That is a beautifully understated comment. Translation: "That bomb should have them wetting their pants."

Very funny.

U.S. Unleashes Biggest Bomb on Al Qaeda Caves

They dropped the junior Senator from NY?

[NittanyLion]

Can anyone comment on what it would be like to be in the vicinity when one of these bombs hit? Is it worse than a severe earthquake, for example?

``This cave complex is literally on the sheer walls of a valley and there the reverberation effect that goes up in those caves should have some sort of negative effect,'' he said.

Hmmm . . . I guess I would call it a positive effect. But we all know what he means.

Reach out and touch someone.

Yeah... I think that a contained 15,000lb. explosive concussive wave would do a wee bit '0 damage to a cave complex...

Like blowing the lungs our of each resident of the complex and causing the assumption of room temperature by most.

Huge bomb attack after bin Laden sighting

The Pentagon has confirmed a 15,000lbs "Daisy-cutter" bomb has been dropped at the Tora Bora cave complex, after a reported sighting of Osama bin Laden.

US forces deployed the weapon, it's most powerful conventional bomb, due to claims senior al-Qaida leaders - including bin Laden - had been seen at a cave entrance.

Rear Admiral John Stufflebeem, of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the complex should now have been put out of use.

He said the target was being used by substantial al Qaida forces and senior leadership.

Asked if that included bin Laden, he said "yes" and added: "There are many reports that could have come from any quarters.

"Not all can be substantiated but in this case we decided to deny the cave entrance. In this case we used a bigger weapon to do that."

He said American special forces and local Afghan fighters had not yet been able to confirm if any al Qaida leaders were killed by the blast, which produced a cloud which obscured the mountains at Tora Bora for several minutes.

"It is still a hot area," said the admiral.

"So with the fighting that is going on, it is difficult to get into that area to assess the effect on the ground."

CBS News showed it descending and then impact and detonation. You could see the shock wave. Cool...

Read about The Daisy Cutter

Impressive all the way around, especially considering the cheap price.

Would it be possible to make a bigger air/vapor bomb, we do have some amazing heavy lift capable aircraft? Our terrorist friends deserve the very best!
