    Seems like only dozens were killed.

    I'd have expected a few thousands at the least for all the hype..

    I thought it was quite interesting to note that neither George W. Bush nor Barack Obama chose to use it at all. I had never heard of it until now but we've had it in our weapons arsenal for years! But of course The Donald did use it. I guess it was more for show than for any go we got out of it! Flamboyant! Dramatic!  Just what a celebrity entertainer would choose to do to get attention! SIGH. Thank you for your reply Malizz and Happy Saturday!  :)

  • In most instances of violence, mom gets the credit. Let's not forget football players on the bench waving at the camera and saying: Hi Mom.

  • The bomb is named Massive Ordinance Air Blast or MOAB. Mother Of All Bombs comes from the acronym. If they had used the word Destructive instead of Massive, it would be called the Daddy Of All Bombs.
