Well, if that's the case, we have 14 more of those MOAB's in inventory.

And after we use them up, we'll still be leaving Afghanistan without a
resolution.

Don't worry, I imagine the appropriation to build more is already
bouncing around DC. I think they should ditch the guidance package,
ditch the high tech bomb case and just fill old gas station fuel tanks
with ammonium nitrate. They could make those for less than the price
of a new F150 and get a bigger bang.
Precision guidance on a bomb with a 1 mile blast radius is like
putting a 20 power scope on a blunderbus

Your idea of a bomb has one major problem in being unguided and possibly
along other design issues. It's use would likely be in violation of
international law. Or maybe you are saying we should do the same thing
that people like Assad and others do?
