Baby, let a 23 ton truck fall from the sky on you and then see if you're around for the press conference.

Sounds like a measured response to me!
Yep they carefully measured the weight of every single bomb. You wouldn't want to drop 23.1 tons of bombs by accident.

Great clip!
However, gotta' correct ya on the math. That was a 500-pounder. What was dropped on the Hezzies would be the equivalent of 92 of those!
To: xone
You are correct. AMZ was killed with standard HE type bombs. The building he was in was isolated so there was no need to use concrete bombs.

25 separate fighter bombers over an hour and a half, most likely.
They dropped 23 tons, whatd'I get?

Praying that they got the POS and blew him to smithereens...
I hope a bunch of duds pinned the b@$tards under so much debris that they
spend the next couple of days dying slowly and agonizingly of dehydration.
And in excruciating pain...from even just thinking about the throbs
of broken ribs as they try to breath.
I'm really a nice guy, but these Islamic thugs bring out the fightin' side of me.

If they want to really throw a bomb they should dump pirate DVD copies of Superman Returns. ...or Gigli?

I hope this response was indeed proportional, in that they took out 23 tons of bad guys.
To: jrooney
It is most likely the Israeli's had spotters on the ground and were confident of the leadership being there.
Yes, and I feel like reminding anyone who cares to listen that Michael Scheuer says that the CIA delivered Bin Laden up to Clinton ten times that way and he was too chicken to take the shot. So, there Mr Dean, is what we would expect of democrats.

Wherever Nasrallah is, if he was not in that bunker, his Sphincter muscle will not loosen up for at least a month (after the initial diarrhea of course).

Thanks for the correction, I wasn't thinking straight. That is amazing.
To: APRPEH
It does make sense that a mosque under construction would contain a bunker though, so they could both be true.

THEY'RE OVERREACTING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! /sarc

If this was one of the German-engineered hardened bunkers, 23 tons might not do the job. The Israelis really do need some bunkerbusters, and I'll bet if they ask real nice, we might loan them a couple. Agreed. Some of those hardened bunkers can take a direct hit from a reasonable sized nuke (say 250 kilotons - that's 250,000 tons).
I would have expected either a whole lot more HE - say 200 tons or so, all 2000lb guided munitions - or fewer really big bunker busters.
People talk about MOAB, but that's not a penetrator, it's for troops in the open.
