The BBC has recently reported that the Pentagon is speeding up the deployment of an enormous bomb, one that would be the largest non-nuclear weapon ever in the U.S. arsenal.
The 30,000 lb (13600 kg) massive ordnance penetrator (MOP) carries about 2,400 kilograms of explosives and is so heavy no fighter can carry; it can only be carried on a B-2 stealth bomber.
The U.S. Department of Defence’s decision to award the $51.9 million US contract to Boeing Co. earlier this month signals a renewed commitment to the weapon.
The American president, Barack Obama gets the Nobel Peace prize and the approval of such budget for this bomb comes only days after it.
A Few Peaceful Thoughts:
Nothing says “Diplomacy” like a 30,000 lb bomb.
Nothing says “Cooperation” like a 30,000 lb bomb.
Nothing says “Love and Understanding” like a 30,000 lb bomb.
Nothing says “Security” like a 30,000 lb bomb.
Nothing saves “Lives” like a 30,000 lb bomb.
Nothing helps the “Economy” like a 30,000 lb bomb.
Nothing wins the “Nobel Peace Prize” like a 30,000 lb bomb.
and finally:
Nothing says “Peace” like a 30,000 lb bomb.
