U.S. Drops Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb Ever on ISIS

By ever I guess I mean in the arsenal.

Was this the MOAB?

I this is MOAB 2.0, or 11.0

I guess it still a MOAB variant, anyway.

Carter Page?

Bannon?

Son of Bunker Buster that effectively ended any leverage Sadam had with his generals.

I feel like Trump thinks he's playing COD 2 or something. How many fronts can we effectively be at war? Are we going to have 3 fronts? Syria, Afghanistan and NK?

Don't forget Russia.

Our military looks forward to using new weapons.

This was essentially a larger version of the Bunker Buster and had never been used in the field.

Was it really a bunker buster at all? It's an air blast bomb I thought.

Bunker Buster as in carrying a huge pay load of explosives. If fact it is physically larger.

Don't think he made the call on this one.

Bunch of erect nipples and hard ons on CNN last night while discussing the Mother of all Bombs. The media has a serious violence/war fetish.

Didn't a 4 star General make the call on this one?

After 8 years Obama still had us in Iraq and Afghanistan plus started two covert wars in Libya and Syria.

You have the same concern then?

Having said that, I agree with you about being everywhere at once.

You are correct, MOAB explodes just above the ground, wipes out anything within at least a 1000 foot radius, shock waves out for a mile.It's a bigger version of the 'Daisey Cutter' that was originally used to clear landing areas for helicopters in Viet Nam
Bunker buster are designed to penetrate reinforced concrete and explode once it stops.
Supposedly there is a MOP (massive ordinance penetrator) in the pipeline that is even bigger than MOAB. In fact, I think they may have one with Kim Jong-un's name on it.
