Ever heard of MOAB? well, ok. They're thinking of creating another one called MOP... which will make MOAB look like a sissy, with a scraped knee, on the side of the road...crying (of course)... armament for an intergallactic war? Osama's new anal probe? X-treme 4th of july fireworks? ALL CONSPIRACY THEORIST WELCOME...i've got a BIG banana for you. ^_^
  • Massive Ordnance Penetrator Exactly whose penis are they compensating for?
  • And just why do they need this? Oh I see..uh huh most toys wins. Ok I get it.
  • threat reduction? Am I missing the point?
  • Iran's looking juicy. They had better test their nuke quick.
  • What conspiracy? You think this stuff -- development of newer, better, smaller, more powerful, etc., bombs -- doesn't go on all the time? This is what bomb-makers do!
  • It's probably an alternative to nuclear bunker busters.
  • meanwhile... LONDON (Reuters) - President Bush has a fresh mandate to pursue an "aggressive" foreign policy, Secretary of State Colin Powell said Tuesday. In an interview with Britain's Financial Times newspaper, Powell said Bush had no intention of pulling back and insisted the newly re-elected president had a mandate to pursue American national interests in international affairs. so, world... CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED. we will soon have a MOAB *and* an "aggressive" president. what could possibly go wrong?
  • Yes. Fallout bad.
  • Huh. This is pretty lo-tech. It's a bigger version of the fertilizer truck. A semi-trailer fertilizer truck, if you will. Except for the "hey, let's make a bomb so big we can't possibly avoid collateral damage", this is just Military propaganda to make the people at home go "Haha. Take that big-ass bomb, dumbass terrorist".
  • Well, it's not a MOAB, but it's pretty damn scary for the U.S. Navy in the Gulf right now
    Imagine all naval warships defeated in a few minutes and those left over picked off soon afterwards, including any who would sail into the gulf to effect rescue operations. Not that I'm saying this *will* happen, just one of many possibilities if the U.S. goes waving it's testes around Iran.
  • The US has long relied on air superiority to prevent US troop losses on the ground (civilians be buggered, of course). Which is why your land war in asia is a bad idea (as, clearly, is a land war in asia minor) Bomb the shit out of a few ragheads, send the boys home. That's the plan. Never actually works like that, but it's a good plan. Got my grandad killed in Viet Nam, it did. Good plan.
  • Exactly whose penis are they compensating for? This documentary footage may be useful research material.
  • "Daisy Cutter" - sounds like a romantic picnic in a meadow...
  • A "Daisy Cutter" is a horse that travels with his hooves close to the ground. Depending on the horse, this can either produce a very comfortable ride, or an animal that will fall down occasionally. For Sale: Several weapons and one dangerous horse
