We need to make 'em bigger still and even more deadly. In fact, someone needs to create something that works like a nuke but isn't a nuke. Then we can wage war and the peaceniks will never know the difference....

The bombs cost about $27,000 each.

Dirt-cheap bargains. Talk about "bang for buck."

I am presuming they are "unguided". What kind of accuracy can they get from 30,000 feet?

Right on, the price is right, too! No need to use million dollar cruise missiles after achieving air supremacy. I hope the Taliban loves it as much as we do.

This isn't good enough. I want it the size of a Lincoln Navigator not a damn little V-dub.

Just saw this on TV. They use a parachute to float them down in order to give the plane time to clear the area.

You beat me to it. The price is right and that bomb has got to pure terror for the frontline troops. Still feeling frisky, Taliban?

I saw a bit of Fox News Channels,late Thursday and they showed something that was awsome! It was,I think, a "Fire bomb"? Did anybody see Fox last Thursday? It was a monster.It doesn't explode right away.It goes down about 50 feet and then explodes.It looked like the opening to hell!
