"I want MOABS!"

Why? What do you think they do or would do? How would Israel deliver them? Why would they want to put aircrews at risk delivering them?

The United States Army also employs the M-26 rocket and the Multiple Launch Rocket System in combat, and the Pentagon has sold the weapon to numerous other allies, in addition to Israel. The system is especially effective at attacking enemy artillery sites, military experts say,

We sell them, but I guess we do not deliver them... Once again the US State Department screws Israel at a crucial time. It is like a broken record.

I swear to The Almighty... If I were elected President the first thing I would do is go over to Foggy Bottom with an industrial-sized broom and sweep the building out of every career Stater in there!

Broom, schmoom. Here's a far better idea from Edward Luttvak, a rather well-known military strategist, circa 1981:

1. Order the Army Corps of Engineers to tunnel from under the Pentagon to underneath the State Dept.

2. When completed, the engineers are make a very large cave at that spot.

3. Once completed, the engineers are to fill the cave with as much in the way of high explosives as possible, and to then plug the hole.

4. After that, the explosives are to be detonated, thereby immeasurably improving the effectiveness of US foreign policy.

To be fair to Luttwak, he clearly said this in jest...I think. Oh, and he was by far my favorite prof at Georgetown.

You got it. Purge them all with a smile like you’re a democrat in power. Talk about “bad wood”.
