The Pentagon is reportedly working on the development of the "mother of all bombs" -- a bunker buster than can destroy an Iranian underground nuclear power plant. According to a report published by the UK-based Daily Mail newspaper, America's top military authority has secretly asked Congress for funds to create its largest bomb ever. A 13.6-ton Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) already exists -- the deepest-penetrating "bunker buster" in the American arsenal, it was presented to the U.S. Air Force last September. The Obama administration reportedly was considering arming Qatar with the huge bunker buster bombs, raising the possibility of an American-Israel-Arab attack on Iran. The bombs are reportedly built to fit the Boeing Stratofortress B-52 long-range bomber or the Northrop Grumman B-2 stealth bomber.

That's really intelligent how we are spending more money on "the mother of all bombs" as opposed to solving that pesky debt crisis, high unemployment and decreasing global respect.

Sorry, but if Iran achieves their goal of nuclear arms, the "pesky debt crisis and high unemployment" will be the LAST of the worries for the US. And the global respect that is decreasing will hit rock bottom!
