Superbomb?

The giant device contains 21,000lb of high explosive and dwarfs the huge "daisy cutter" bombs used against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Military planners believe just the sight of the bomb exploding could frighten Iraqi soldiers into surrendering.

Tape of a test of a superbomb was shown on American TV last night, the cloud of its explosion almost as large as a small atomic blast.

Hoo boy. Should be interesting to see what this turns up. At least it's not a nuke...

Daisy cutters are some of the coolest weapons ever. They're just nasty.

They're used to kill people underground and clear paths. Do to the massive heat, it burns the oxygen at such a massive rate that it'll suck air out of tunnels and even suck air out of the ground. Amazing technology.

Ok...where is this footage?

Thats what I want to see too :)

It hasn't been tested yet, so there is no footage. It'll be tested today, Tuesday, March 11 between now (1:15pm) and 5:00pm EST.

Look for footage after 6:00pm tonight.

And I agree with Mr. Carter. Daisy Cutters are the bomb (pun intended).

The MOAB is brand new and it is absolutely cool. Its being referred to as the Mother Of All Bombs.

I can't wait to see the test footage.

Word is they have no plans of using them on Iraq, but they will try to send footage of the tests to them to let them know they are all dead if Saddam keeps being an assface.

I got a MOAB in my pants if you know what I mean!

*wink wink*

<Ed>Assface! Assface!</Ed>
I've gotta see this. We could blow up many a terrorist with this thing...

Ah, daisycutters. Need a landing spot? KA-BOOM! Instant pavement. Bad guys running around? KA-BOOM! All gone. Don't like that strip mall...

Sooo very awesome.

Despite my anti-war stance, I do love the toys it produces... :)

A daisy-cutter dropped by an A-10 Warthog would possibly be the coolest thing ever. Unless you're on the wrong end!
