I wonder if the Israelis would mind testing them on those deep tunnels that are being used to smuggle rockets into Gaza? I suspect it would be shake and bake for a bunch of tunnel rats.

To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee, “That’s not a bomb. THIS, is a bomb!”

This can only be carried by heavy bombers like the B-2, which Israel does not have.

I would say that would be a target. Another target to use them be Hezbollah targets in Southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.The Bekaa Valley has underground tunnels and bases and a Chemical weapon/missile factory in Syria(Al Safir) that is a suspected underground facility if war ever broke out.

We do not know that one day that they will have the capability to carry. The Israelis are very resourceful.

Are you saying you just posted a picture of a disassembled nuclear weapon on a public website?

I don’t think I’m totally comfortable with that.

Too Big and Heavy. I personally think that the Israelis have the capability and are not telling anyone.

I think that the Israelis have the capability and keeping their mouths quiet or will be given the capability.

Even if Obama doesn't use them,

Oh, I think he'll use them. They would wreck havoc on a Brooks Brothers suit factory.
