    Some more than others...
    I wonder how many innocent people died. Hopefully the area was remote enough to avoid civilian casualties. Scary stuff.

    You're right, Buck. My bad. I was thinking of the Massive Ordanance Penetrator (MOP), which can be carried by the B-2 and is 20 feet long and weighs 15 tons. No footage is available of one being tested. It can supposedly go through 200 feet of dirt and 60 feet of concrete. Sorry for the confusion.

    I would imagine it was detonated underground and used as a bunker buster which clears out caves and tunnels. When used that way, the civilian casualties should be significantly reduced unless they were living right on top of the tunnel system.

    I've been popping Viagra to excess. Does that count? ;)

    The tactics used for MOP (see above) if the target is deep and hardened, is to drop them in pairs. They are highly accurate and reportedly hit at supersonic speed. The first MOP drills a hole into the target, the second goes in for the kill. Need more? Keep drilling. We can use more than 2 B-2's.

    We've spent $76 million on bomb strikes in 2 weeks. That's enough to fund Meals on Wheels for 25 years, if I am right

    We're all waiting on you to claim that this was a "mini-nuke" and link to another neo-Nazi blog to support your ridiculous conspiracy theory.
