The real purpose of these humongous bunker-busting bombs

When one is facing multiple contradictory facts, to resolve the questions one faces one needs only to connect the dots in the right way. Sometimes, like in the case of these bunker busters, media helps. To start with:

Pentagon officials are speaking publicly about the military's new 30,000-pound massive ordnance penetrator, or MOP, known now as the biggest "bunker-busting bomb" in the world.
Of course, seekers of cheap sensations were sure it's all about the Aytollahs, Mahmoud the Mad and their craving for nukes. But:
But, strangely, Kirby denied these bombs are designed to target Iran, the only country known to have buried its nuclear weapons program.
Of course, same sensation seekers remain unsatisfied. When it was enough to observe another news item:

An estimated 17 tons of marijuana were seized in the discovery of a cross-border tunnel that authorities said Wednesday was one of the most significant secret drug smuggling passages ever found on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Do you see the light now?

Hmm these tunnels must be common. Thiught the first time I ever hear of one was in a an american black comedy called Weeds

Heh. As disproportionate as the drug war can be when it comes to marijuana, there's no way the US would be dropping any kind of bomb on Mexico for any reason. The politics of it would mean immediate career decapitation of the guy who ordered it.

Weeds? Sounds like it is very relevant to that tunnel ;)

One can always dream, can't one?

They can drop the bomb on the american side of the border, although I'm not sure there will be any tunnel left to discover. Or on the iranian side of the border. One can always dream, can't one?

BANG! LOL! said...

not much.

How do you breathe in the smoke after the bomb goes off? Isn't a bong more efficient for these things?

Smoke? It is a new, politically correct, generation of weaponry. It don't smoke none.
