The United States is transporting 387 "bunker-buster" bombs to its air base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean as part of preparations for a possible strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, according to a report in Scotland's Sunday Herald.
The U.S. government signed a contract in January with Superior Maritime Services to transport 10 ammunition containers to Diego Garcia from Concord, California. The shipment includes 195 smart, guided BLU-110 bombs and 192 Blu-117 2,000lb bombs.

But this is all supposition.
We got the goods, but do we got the leadership?
These are fairly small as BLUs go.
>>but do we got the leadership?
For an attack on Iran? Only if it helps his polls.
Might be a good attention diverter if Bummercare falls on the floor.

yeap and obama will give the Iranians advanced warning when they will get hit with these bombs that do nothing. The Iranians will put in a few prisoners for the camera shots of the dead.
presto, Obama done his job and the Iranian's can show how evil we are.
They’ll need the MOP. And for that they will need the B-2 or the B-52.
Exactly, they’ll need the MOP.
No.

NO way we hit Iran. NO WAY. This is gonna be left up to little old Israel, after which we will abandon her.

If we were serious, the first report should have been that the last bomber had left Iranian airspace. We’re sending a message, one that Obama’s Islamist friends will ignore.
All they need to do now is post the date, time of the strike, which aircraft will be involved and the air routes to be taken.
Of course a list of target locations and their expected time to strike should also be provided.. give or take a few minutes so there no waiting.
We already KNOW that in a showdown, Resident (Pres_ent) Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., or Barry Soetoro, or Mr Michelle Robinson, or Sock-Puppet, supposedly the son of an out-of-control teenager and a Kenyan exchange student, is going to come down solidly on the side of the jihadists. He has said as much, and even though many people throughout the US regard him to be a liar, on this he was pretty truthful.
Besides, George Soros wants to keep the pot boiling. That means pre-announcement of any raids, branding the US as “aggressors”, and failure of mission.
Reprise of Jimmy Carter’s attempted strike against Iran back in the bad old days after the Iranians took US hostages and our embassy, Operation Eagle Claw, on April 24, 1980. Remember that, one helicopter crashing into another in a desert sandstorm? Kind of broke the stride of the attempted “surgical” insertion and extraction.
The attempt, or supposed attempt, to “take out” the uranium enrichment and weapons facilities of the Iranians, will fail, if in fact it is ever made. This is all show and saber-rattling for the folks back here in America. The Iranians won’t be fooled for a second.
Won’t happen. Hillary is the military leader that Obama kneels down and takes orders from. It’s a cultural thing.
Maybe Obama will attack Israel.
mmmmmmm, Hillary is a semi-hawk.
Perfect for dog-wagging.
