b.s.
there’s no consensus for bombing iran.
hillary, kerry, kennedy et. al. were on board for iraq.
bombing iran — the country would come unglued.
bush would be impeached the next day.
Now that's harsh!
It's a big 'un for sure and for certain.
A This thing is probably about the size a modern 100 MT nuke would be, if we had any.
Actually many 10 or 100 KT nukes would be better. If they too were hardened bunker busters.
we should have bombed Iran years ago. If not for the nuke program, for sending bombs into Iraq. See how much they interfere in Iraq when they are in bomb shelters. About to believe it will never happen.
This will be launched from Missouri. Close enough. And it will use GPS to both get it near the target, and finally to get it *on* the target. It's just that the carrier vehicle will be manned, by two Air Force officers who really don't mind the long ride, really they don't. :)
Uh, duh, Tora Bora?
Garmin is headquartered here in Kansas. Good GPS. I think that you will find silos a bit further north somewhere in the sugar beet fields. If they are here in Kansas there is no need to go talking about them.
“It was a joke.”
Joking about nukes again?!? heh
“No fighting in the war room!”
30,000 lb bomb. I guess they can say it blowed up good, it blowed up real good.
80 lb max at Ft. Hood or range control would shut you down.
I still need someone to explain it to me. What, in God’s good name, is the advantage of sticking facilities underground?
Seal off the tunnels, and keep sealing off the tunnels, and the underground facility remains useless. WHAT am I missing here?
“Actually many 10 or 100 KT nukes would be better. If they too were hardened bunker busters.”
Here’s what you need to know about the Trident Mk II:
“8 W88 300-475 kiloton MIRVs in a solid-fuel Mk 5 PBV”
That’s from globalsecurity.org...

I checked the original Northrop Grumman Press Release at http://www.irconnect.com/noc/press/pages/news_releases.html?d=123187 and it says this and also mentions the B-2’s combat load is 40,000 pounds, so I wonder about the conflict this makes...
Yet I trust if anyone can figure out a way to put 60,000 pounds of whipass into a 40,000 pound sack, it would be Northrop Grumman!
BTW Yesterday I discovered Northrop Grumman has opened an officer here in my small town of Corsicana some 56 miles south of Dallas deep in the heart of Texas.
I wish to welcome them here!

I’m pretty sure there were significant safety margins inherent in the B-2’s design. Still, these must be sphincter clenching changes for the pilots...heroes all.
Actually, a notice of this sort can bring folks like this to the table and prevent the need to use the things at all.
That loud squeaking sound you may have heard recently was Mahmoud’s anal sphincter drawing tighter than it was thought humanly possible to draw one.
“That loud squeaking sound you may have heard recently was Mahmouds anal sphincter drawing tighter than it was thought humanly possible to draw one.”
Yah. In reference to my post above, any sphincter clenching by our pilots is sure to be reciprocated by the Iranians tenfold. lol
Nukes are too scary for too many voters.
Too many politicians love their jobs more than they love our country. They won't have the spine to use nukes until we've lost millions to one ourselves.
I mean that.
Chamerlain wasn't the only fool in denial at exactly the wrong time.
