The bombs cost about $27,000 each. They are dropped from a C-130 cargo plane flying at least 6,000 feet off the ground, to avoid the bomb's massive shock wave. Each is more than 17 feet long and 5 feet in diameter - about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle but far heavier.Indeed that sounds like the main course--but a squadron of A-10 Warthogs might serve up some pretty hot side dishes to the jihaders in the mountains and valleys once we lock up those airfields in Tajikistan.
