Just watched a segment on CNN about this bomb..... it sounds pretty wild....

<i><b>"The Pentagon says the ordnance possibly earmarked for Iraq includes a new kind of weapon - nicknamed "the mother of all bombs." Considered the biggest bomb in the US conventional arsenal, it weighs 21,000 pounds.
Like its predecessor, the "daisy cutter," the bomb's blast would create a huge mushroom cloud. "</b></i>
Some military guy being interviewed on CNN said that the mushroom cloud would go up thousands of feet and look a lot like a nuclear hit. I wonder if they'll use it once on an Iraqi army position to hopefully cause the remaining Iraqi military to give up. It would make for one of the shortest wars in history if it worked.
