The United States is transporting 387 "bunker-buster" bombs to its air base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean as part of preparations for a possible strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, according to a report in Scotland's Sunday Herald.
The U.S. government signed a contract in January with Superior Maritime Services to transport 10 ammunition containers to Diego Garcia from Concord, California. The shipment includes 195 smart, guided BLU-110 bombs and 192 Blu-117 2,000lb bombs.

But this is all supposition.
We got the goods, but do we got the leadership?
These are fairly small as BLUs go.
>>but do we got the leadership?
For an attack on Iran? Only if it helps his polls.
Might be a good attention diverter if Bummercare falls on the floor.

yeap and obama will give the Iranians advanced warning when they will get hit with these bombs that do nothing. The Iranians will put in a few prisoners for the camera shots of the dead.
presto, Obama done his job and the Iranian's can show how evil we are.
They’ll need the MOP. And for that they will need the B-2 or the B-52.
Exactly, they’ll need the MOP.
No.

NO way we hit Iran. NO WAY. This is gonna be left up to little old Israel, after which we will abandon her.

If we were serious, the first report should have been that the last bomber had left Iranian airspace. We’re sending a message, one that Obama’s Islamist friends will ignore.
All they need to do now is post the date, time of the strike, which aircraft will be involved and the air routes to be taken.
Of course a list of target locations and their expected time to strike should also be provided.. give or take a few minutes so there no waiting.
We already KNOW that in a showdown, Resident (Pres_ent) Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., or Barry Soetoro, or Mr Michelle Robinson, or Sock-Puppet, supposedly the son of an out-of-control teenager and a Kenyan exchange student, is going to come down solidly on the side of the jihadists. He has said as much, and even though many people throughout the US regard him to be a liar, on this he was pretty truthful.
Besides, George Soros wants to keep the pot boiling. That means pre-announcement of any raids, branding the US as “aggressors”, and failure of mission.
Reprise of Jimmy Carter’s attempted strike against Iran back in the bad old days after the Iranians took US hostages and our embassy, Operation Eagle Claw, on April 24, 1980. Remember that, one helicopter crashing into another in a desert sandstorm? Kind of broke the stride of the attempted “surgical” insertion and extraction.
The attempt, or supposed attempt, to “take out” the uranium enrichment and weapons facilities of the Iranians, will fail, if in fact it is ever made. This is all show and saber-rattling for the folks back here in America. The Iranians won’t be fooled for a second.
Won’t happen. Hillary is the military leader that Obama kneels down and takes orders from. It’s a cultural thing.
Maybe Obama will attack Israel.
mmmmmmm, Hillary is a semi-hawk.
Perfect for dog-wagging.
Do you know what the MOP actually is? Well here you go.
Hype.
Obama the Eunuch bombing Iran? Laughable. He’s more likely to order those bombs to drop on Israel. In fact, he’d drop a bomb on his own country before he’d even speak one negative sentence about the Iranians.
I know what the MOP is and I know there’s no guarantee that it will get the job done. Obviously if we’re sending in ABRs, we are simultaneously waging a war against their military, their C3 systems, and their government. Extraction wouldn’t have to be logitically impossible. Seize an airport in the vicinity of the enrichment facilities and use it for example. It would be a good way to obtain valuable intelligence on their nuclear enrichment opertaions as well, intelligence which could later be used to justify the military action. I’m not opposed to blowing things up, oh no, far from it in fact. In this case though, I would prefer to see the ABRs going in and having their way with the Iranians while the rest of our military focuses on degrading Iran’s ability to wage war for the next 10 years or so. Keep in mind, this is all just us BSing because, in reality, we aren’t going to shiite to Iran.
I guess it’s got to this. Obama needs to wag the dog.
An other senerio is:
We abandon Isreal swsoon;
the Iranians taking that as a sign of weakness beginning the new infantada in a big way with Hizbolla and Hamas mass rocket attacks;
Syria moves tank divisions toward the Golan;
Israel responds by going after all parties including Iran;
the US then supplies arms to Iran to defend against the evil Jews;
thus Hussein wins another peace prize for solving the Middle East Problem.
Hopefully, Obama won’t find out about this.
If, and it’s a big if, this is true. Any strike on Iran by this simpering fool of a President will be half assed and done only to distract the public from his real agenda. This should have been done in 1980.

If they have the element of surprise, the chances of success are maximized.

I thought MOP won’t even be ready for deployment until December 2010. It originally was supposed to be ready mid-2010, but Boeing (the clowns who can’t even get a border security fence right) is 6 months behind schedule.
It might not be ready until then, I dont know for sure.
my neighbor’s name is Diego Garcia... i was wondering why so many ups trucks were stopping by his house...
i say the the shiite hits the fan by the orthodox easter weekend... the end of april...
