Real hope: U.S. accelerates monster bunker busting bombs project

We do have microwave, laser, sound and nuc technology we can use not needing any of this.

The American people have been burdened with massive taxes to develop the most advanced technology in the world our DNC gives to others but we need to use.

But, with nuclear warheads, ground troops don’t need to go in? ;-)

Tehran may have to take into account a possible one-time surgical strike against its underground enrichment facility as a warning shot should its defiance continue.

It should be a one-time, surgical strike back to the stone age for ALL their nuke and missile sights. Not a warning shot, an all-hell-breaks-loose and nothing is left but some smoldering ruins. Surgical in the sense of precision and speed. They have had YEARS to shape up. The part about the Saudi's giving the Israelis the go-ahead makes perfect sense to me. I am sure they don't want that craziness right on their flank, anymore than the Israelis do.

Now THAT”S Hope and Change I can believe in.....to our enemies I say “YES, WE CAN!!!”. HA.

I sure wish the ‘RATS hadn’t killed the nuclear bunker buster idea.

Not knowing how deep the bunker goes, it may be desirable to invade it.

[doc1019]

Thanks, good point.

[WellyP]

I don’t think it is really dead, it has just gone “black”!

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

I agree. Part of DARPA

[Conspiracy Guy]

Hasn’t Barry stopped this yet?

[Vinnie_Vidi_Vici]

The bunker busters can collapse the entry tunnels and shafts if the facility is too deep to reach directly, thus burying those involved alive....or not.

[AZ .44 MAG]

That’s beautiful. I love the way anything looks that kills our enemies.

I don’t like to rain on peoples’ parades, but debka has never been known as a reliable source.

Now, lets say it’s true. Obama is preparing to use ten of these babies on iranian nuke sites.

It’s gonna take a whole lot more than that. First the radar must be taken out. then the air force. Then the ground based air defenses. You would probably be looking at a solid week(or more) of bombing runs and cruise missiles BEFORE the B52s could get into range to drop a bunker buster.

That’s my best uneducated guess anyway.

Why build what the weakling president and Congress don’t have the will to use?

An undergroud nuclear explosion would be ideal. They would not be able to rebuild on site for 100 years.

These are already being tested. I hope they get them on lne ASAP.

Report says it can be carried on a B-52 or B-2. Use the B-2 and you don't need radar suppression. Better yet don't be a jerk like "W" and give them weeks of warning so they can move the equipment. Just hit and run, then deny you hit the joint in the first place. Deny everything, say it was internal sabotage. Nobody will believe it, but who cares.

Former refugee Duong Nguyet Anh is now America’s high-tech warrior, international explosives expert and brain behind the thermobaric bunker-buster bombs, see my reply #14 in link below . . . .

[Secret Agent Man]

Me too but they don’t want to get into the whole nuke issue. That’s why they are making is so massive.

[InterceptPoint]

Shhh! Don’t tell Obama.

You beat me to it.
