GBU-57A/B Super Bunker Buster
Ought to nickname it, "Long (fill in the blank) Silver"!
Ought to nickname it, "Long (fill in the blank) Silver"!
Obviously due to the Iranian situation.
The Pentagon has brought forward to December 2009 the target-date for producing the first 15-ton super bunker-buster bomb (GBU-57A/B) Massive Ordinance Penetrator, which can reach a depth of 60.09 meters underground before exploding. DEBKAfile's military sources report that top defense agencies and air force units were also working against the clock to adapt the bay of a B2a Stealth bomber for carrying and delivering the bomb.
The Pentagon has ordered the number of bombs rolling off the production line increased from four to ten - a rush job triggered in May by the discovery that Iran was hiding a second uranium enrichment plant under a mountain near Qom - a discovery which prompted this week's international outcry.
You know it's serious when a hard-leftist regime in Washington, like the Obamacrat one, gets cracking like this...
But don't expect the usual deranged "anti-war" freaks (WARNING: nsfw) to march in the streets and scream denunciation of Obama's plan to go to war with Iran... After all, those protestors who did it to Bush, they're all Astroturf, all sent by "community organizers", etc, to bash the non-neo-communist folks and advance the neo-communist agenda. They, plus the Big Old Approved "News" Media, won't do anything to make it hard for Obama to kick Iran's ass, is my prediction.
Well, obviously, we want to prevent those madmen in Iran from becoming able to do something like, say, the Tsar at Trinity in 1961, courtesy of the Evil Empire...
