We shoulda loaned some of our bunker busters. Heck, they could have them for free, as far as I'm concerned.

JERUSALEM - Israeli warplanes dropped bombs late Wednesday on a bunker in south Beirut where senior Hezbollah leaders were thought to be, the military said.
Military officials said a wave of aircraft dropped 23 tons of explosives on the bunker. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters, said top Hezbollah figures were thought to be there, possibly including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The officials said the bunker was in the Bourj al-Barajneh section of southern Beirut.
The military said the attack occurred about 11 p.m., but reporters in Beirut said the last loud explosion heard there was 2 1/2 hours earlier.
Israel has said that one of the objects of its offensive in Lebanon is to eliminate Hezbollah leaders.

But we should all remember that first reports from the battlefield are always wrong -- and that may be especially true when dealing with CNN. Yup--It coulda been 25 tons.

23 tons? Did they draw straws for the bunker buster and then decide to be fair and allow the whole air unit to participate?

23 Tons.. so thats what? 80+ 500 lb bombs or 20-30 bunker busters? Thats a serious unloading of firepower on 1 target. Is this place big? Or just very very deep underground?

WOW!Now how will they know. Won't be a whole lot to look at even if Israel could get boots on ground at the bunker.

"23 tons and they could've pulled it off with one bunker buster. Sadness."
It's obvious you don't know what a "bunker buster" is. It's not a bomb filled with tons of explosives. It's a bomb that is meant to penetrate fortified buildings- then explode. Explosive wise, they are only average, containing about 250 Kg of BOOM, depending on the type. They have more iron and concrete in them than explosives.
