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.

Whoa! Who's the guy in the white Chevy Cavalier? He sure got his money's worth for that front row seat.
