Great. But the US will never bomb its way to winning. It never did in Viet Nam, or Iraq, and it won't work in Afghanistan or Syria either. Just more Millions wasted for a fireworks show.

thank you, and can we not insult our mothers and our mother earth by naming a weapon that absolutely incinerates everything covering the size of a small college campus after moms. i'm sure this will stop those poor folks in the war zone from building tunnels to hide from the bombs.

Somebody told me it cost $300 million for that bomb. If true, no wonder we need a trillion dollars for the military.

It cost $16 million per bomb. The project to develop the weapon was $300 million. I have no problem with dropping the bomb on ISIS. Violence is the only language they speak so let's speak their language. I also had no problem with Obama droning terrorist.

Like the people there built those tunnels. They are remnants from the Soviet invasion that the CIA paid for.

how is bombing poor people that are steeped in 3 generations of American wars of geopolitical leverage "freedom"? who becomes more free from the dropping of that bomb? has 50 years of us bombing muslim countries led to more or less stability there or here? trying to understand this "freedom" cuz I keep seeing more restrictions on travel, immigration, speech, communication and religious practice on both sides of this fighting.

I don't believe any civilians were killed in this bombing, the land and environment in the surrounding area will surely be affected for a time to come however.

RE: OT:US Drops Major Weapon on Afghanistan
the bomb killed 30 some ISIS, but it destroyed a vast tunnel network system being used by ISIS. It also was near the Pakistani border which may help them get their act together, and also it was designed to tell North Korea to stand down. This did not happen as N Korea attempted to launch a rocket but it looked more like my estes model rocket attempts and never left the launching pad !!03-lmfao
