I wonder if liberals even care how many books that this cost would equate to in 'Reading Is Fundamental' or given to the Head Start program, as if there were a redemption center to convert military waste to Federal benefits programs.
Oh wait, I forgot. They're all behind the President. Spare no expense. This is the right thing to do.
——That graphic shows that it just cannot be very cost-effective to fly 12,000 miles to drop a 2000 pound bomb from a billion dollar aircraft onto some 28 year old ex-Soviet BMP troop carrier that can be bought surplus from some guy in Poland on eBay Motors for $4500 equivalent in zlotkies, or whatever currency they use.——
Considering that my Armed Forces are flying our CF-18’s over Libya right now, I’m totally glad you guys decided to use the B2 to drop some heavy shit on those SAM sites instead of risking our 20-million dollar aircraft and airmen!

The B-2 bomber can carry up to eighty 500 lb (230 kg) class JDAM “smart” bombs, or sixteen 2,400 lb (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs.
It can deliver its full payload in a single pass and uses an advanced GPS Aided Targeting System (GATS) complete with a passive electronically scanned array APQ-181 radar to correct GPS errors of targets, in order to achieve greater accuracy than laser-guided dumb bombs.
