In typical fashion, the russians just packed a bigger tank with explosive and have a bigger one but I am not sure if it is guided and I know it was a lot cheaper. If you believe the Pentagon, it was the perfect weapon for the intended purpose. Apparently several attempts by Afghan forces (with American special force advisers) had been made with boots on the ground to clear the caves and tunnels of ISIS without success. They just ran through the tunnels into Pakistan. The MOAB took care of that problem. I read where the bomb killed a couple of dozen people. Big ****ing Deal. At some point, we'll just pull out of Afghanistan and stop wasting American lives and American money. Your not-so-almighty military isn't going to solve it. Thanks, Krause, I'd predicted the liberals would whine about the cost. Took you a couple days, but you didn't let me down. Indeed, Afghanistan isn't worth the price of another American soldier's life...unless, of course, it would be your life. As for the dollars we are wasting there, there is better use for them at home, rebuilding this crumbling country. |

Thats because president towel head was surrendering to every little african and middle eastern country he could. He was emptying our treasury as fast as he could. He was building an army of homeless and medicaid dependant. He was trashing the constitution. He and his extended family and friends were taking exotic vacations around the world. Life was good for president towel head and Harry cheered him on only because he was black. I'm no longer astonished by how utterly stupid you have to be to be a Republican supporter of Donald Trump. |

Again, why were you not spouting your crap when your hero was in office. All he ever did was good, eh? Justan's comments above are spot on, regardless of your name-calling - which, BTW, is the typical liberal out when backed into a corner. |
