I guess the problem would be that death-cultists of the Muslim variety aren't particularly deterred by shock-and-awe. The MOAB could have killed five hundred of them outright and the crazy bastards would probably still be able to adjust their propaganda to recruit another thousand loyalists.

Sure, but a penetrative bomb would have yielded the same result at much less cost (only 15...14 of those fuckers kicking around now right?)

Hence why I think a show of force.

We don't have so many of the hardcore bunker busters any more. Between Bush and Obama they used up the majority of them which were made using 16" battleship rounds left over from WW2.

Besides, it's cost efficent to use this thing since it's been sitting around since 2003 and sucking up maintenance resources. May as well use it and save some money.

that's probably true.

Video of the airstrike has been released.

According to reports on CBC the bombing took out 36 militants, and villagers in the remote, mountainous area are described as being terrified by the "earsplitting blast".....

What bothers me is where in Hell do they expect to find the 2592 virgins to satisfy these "martyrs".....

That's Satan's problem now if his meet-and-greet isn't up to snuff for new arrivals to Hell.

That's a lot of goats.

* Afghan authorities sifting through the rubble at the MOAB blast site have upped the death toll from 36 to 94 pulverized terrorists so, once again, WOO-HOO!

* despite some of the insane talk that a MOAB costs $300 million, apparently the real cost is only about $170000 to construct one with another $30000 to $40000 of time involved with flying a C-117 to the drop zone and delivering it; the US Air Force builds the bombs themselves which keeps the cost low as manufacturing them isn't contracted out to a for-profit corporation

What do you suppose is at the buffet at the Meet and Greet in Hell?

Despite the fact that it was only one bomb the psychological effect will be devastating. When word gets out and one of these goat humping inbreds decides to hide in a cave when the bombs start falling he'll be sitting there shaking like a dog crapping razor blades wondering if the next one to hit is gonna be that big one which will send him to Allah in a painful, violent burst of imploded lungs, dismembered limbs and burnt skin.
