The MOAB Hit Afghanistan So Hard It Cracked Buildings In Neighboring Pakistan
Daily Caller ^ | 4/17/2017 | Jonah Bennett

The U.S. military’s non-nuclear “mother of all bombs” (MOAB) hit the Islamic State in Afghanistan so hard that it cracked buildings in neighboring Pakistan.

Villagers complained to Dawn, a newspaper in Pakistan, that the bomb cracked numerous houses and a mosque in Malana village located in the foothills of the White Mountain, which serves as a border between the two countries.

In the future make sure you have MOAB coverage and throw in some tomahawk coverage too just to CYA!

I think that crack happened the night we captured Binladden from them.

Some of those mountain fortresses and tunnel complexes have been there for over 150 years, started back when the British were at war with Afghanistan.

Maybe Bob Swift can cut his next commercial about FlexTape there. Glue the house back together, put an outboard motor on it and drive it around a local lake to prove it no longer leaks!

I thought it was 10-15 kiloton but I could be wrong.

One time, I yelled so loud in Laughlin, NV, it was heard in neighboring Bullhead City, AZ.

Did it also cause the dry rot around the windows and on the rafters and fascia board?

And it apparently blew the gutters clean off leaving only the brackets behind.

We only killed a hundred fighters.. impotent strike. Or, we missed the other 700 fighters on purpose?

Offshoring to Mexico and China did that without dropping one bomb.

“Villagers complained to Dawn, a newspaper in Pakistan, that the bomb cracked numerous houses and a mosque in Malana village located in the foothills of the White Mountain, which serves as a border between the two countries.”

Note to “villagers”: your options are to run the mohammedan crazies out of your neighborhood so as to avoid future bombs or to send your repair bills to same mohammedan crazies.

LOL, IDK. I don’t know if they have an income tax. Hardly seems worth it.

Several years ago, I did a contract job for a company that was bidding on providing a biometric tracking system for all the muslim pilgrims headed to Saudi Arabia.

They were going to put a couple of offices in each country with a significant Muslim population to collect the biometrics. So we estimated the salaries to staff the office. It’s amazing how low the wages are in some of those countries.

I don’t remember exactly what Pakistan’s was. I think it was one of the higher ones. Maybe $120 or $200 a month. The ‘stan’s were just pitiful.

I was wondering how anyone can give an accurate count on how many ISIS vermin were eradicated and/or vaporized. Were they counting body parts or what? And, how many died in the tunnels that are now long gone???

Well of course it damaged a mosque

Better tear down the mosque and to be on the safe side, do not rebuild it.
