G.I. Joe says “It’s best to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Besides, many of my superiors find it helps them, er, uhh “get into the mood” better than Viagra.”

the weakness seems to be the laser guidance. High quality targets must be assumed to be protected by all kinds of warning and detecting devices. Laser guidance works only with a clear sky, day or night. And 200 feet penetrating power are not the world. I can imagine quality targets in mine shafts 500 to 1500 meters deep, with soil and rock overhead. ( 1 meter about 3 feet)

I think when you say people America, you actually mean the USA. “America” refers to all three americas (South America, Central America, North America). Please use the proper wording. Thanks

Nice. But I’m not sure how effective it would be against caves in countries like Afghanistan.

I’d like to see more development along the lines of anti-matter weapons and direct energy laser beams. China has already invested billions in the latter. I think the direct energy weapons is probably the way of the future.

Three cheers for the US, this should cause a rise of toilet paper sales in Communist and Muslim countries, that is, if they used any.

This will lessen any of their need for health care options.

And on another plus side, feed the carrion with a renewable food source.

Ray - when you have lunatic leaders like North Korea’s or fanatic leaders like Iran’s that have or are acquiring nuclear weapons, you can’t afford to bury your head in the sand and pretend the problem doesn’t exist. It would be “stupid” (to use your word) to not give yourself as many options as possible for dealing with it.

This is a rehash of the earthquake bombs deployed by the British in WW2. They were used to destroy the German UBoat Pens which were very heavily fortified. The inventors name was Barnes Wallis the name of the bombs were Tallboy and Grand Slam.

If only you that are keen on distruction realise the harm you are doing to America.

Your ignorance and belief of your superiority created 9/11.

As with all great powers, the mistakes made by belligerance and faith in weapon-systems created their downfall.

Is it not better to realise the world reads these blogs and confirms the blood-thistiness of the uneducated American?

Thank God for a new sense of reality in the new presidency.

Gung-hoism has already embarrassed us and made us look as a second rate, bombastic war-lord.

Think economy and healthcare stupid!

Countries want to destroy other countries for economic gain and population control and that’s just how it is. sorry the world isn’t a pretty enough place for you. Just be happy you leftists here in America can drive your Prius instead of a donkey cart. See it’s not all bad. ;)
