Think we can take out an oilfield or two, removing the mad mullahs money tree?

We own the skies.

We owned them on September 11th too, but I understand your point.

How long until Iran begins building schools over those nuclear bunkers?

They would have to move the orphanages already there.

Iran wants nukes? Our B-2s deliver nukes in 24 hours or they’re free.

Relax, this is run of the mill saber rattling.

The Iranians release a statement this week stating they will have a nuclear program forever., we leak the news of a huge fleet of bunker busters. The dweebs in suits continue talking in the background.

We have only been waiting for 28 years. Some of us have given up hope for our national security and honor to be restored.

Yep. My cynical, Ambrose Bierce induced reaction is to think that the attack will happen within six months of the 11/08 elections.

If not ours before, theirs after.

“Iran wants nukes? Our B-2s deliver nukes in 24 hours or they’re free.”

For nuke delivery (discounting deep penetration requirements which will take the B-2 or B-52 for now) it’s hard to beat the boomers or the boomers that’ve been converted to carry 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles (which of course can be nuclear tipped). Much, much less than 24 hours required. ;-)

Schools would make an excellent aim point! Miss the school by 5 meters. At 30,000 pounds, these things would penetrate so far before exploding that the school marm’s burqua probably wouldn’t even flap!

Disinformation.
The notion that monster bombs are needed to incapacitate Iran's nuclear weapon capability makes sense only if our military is dumber than the Iraqi army

The only thing necessary is to target all the entrance and exits (including buildings) with tiny 10,000-pound bombs.

All of these are easily spotted from satellite photography during construction.

Just saying.

"...U.S. Outfitting B-2’s with Monster Bunker Buster Bombs — Iran May Be Target Activity...
now we get to wonder if they will ever serve a purpose other than quasi-diplomatic..."

Well, the klintoon proved that they work pretty well, and they saw a brief stint at the beginning of GW-II, but I seem to remember this retrofit from some time ago.

"...The company is doing the work under a seven-month, $2.5 million contract awarded June 1..."

We've got at least 20 of these beautiful birds, and $2.5 mil would be about enough money to loosen the screws on one of them.

I doubt that we need 7 months. Sounds like we're already good-to-go! Let's hope it's soon .................... FRegards

"Tiny" 10,000-pound bombs?

Fer cryin' out loud, the bunker busters in the article only carry 5,300-lbs of explosive.
