Why didn't Bush? Even if the payload didn't crack 200ft during his term, they are still an effective weapon - so why didn't Bush attack Iran and North Korea?

As that pussy Bush could have also used a limited nuclear strike against Iran and North Korea as well...

So, piasabird, why have these toys if we're not going to use them?

Silly premise, as Uber has already shown.

Plus you recall the only person ever to authorize the use of a nuclear weapon was a democrat ;)

Surprise liberals here: Obama is another tool of the MI complex and he's not going to change.

To have them available when they're needed. Which should be a last resort. Although, you already knew this and you're just trying to drive home some hack ideology.


I'm sure you would love to compare this to the F-22, but this weapon isn't vulnerable to rain. Unlike the high priced fighter, bunker busters have actually been used in Iraq.

Little know factoid: "Bunker Buster" was Eva Braun's pet nickname for Adolf during the waning days of WWII. :p

To bust a bunker, duh. Seriously, any military that has offensive capability has a weapon of this type. Obama/Bush have nothing to do with that.

assuming that armed conflict is a necessity, maintaining and/or increasing technological advantage in warfare saves american lives

holy fuck I did not know that the Tzar Bomba nuke was that much more massive than the original Hiroshima nuke

I wondered the same thing when the military tested the MOAB Mother of All Bombs. We have not used one yet. After we developed that one the russians built an even bigger bomb capable of taking out more than one city block they claim. It just keeps escalating. However, the most pervasive threat has been IED's and roadside bombs (Same thing). I sent the Bush presidency my suggestion. Just ring every cell phone number every morning before you send the trucks out. I bet they never even looked at my idea. Why bother. It is the simplest ideas that they dont want to try.

The questions were not specifically aimed at Bush or O'Bamma, even though I dont care for either very much, I dislike O'Bamma even more. It is this system of developing a weapon we may be afraid to use. I doubt that we will attack Iran. Maybe we can sell some to Isreal. I think we need to develop weapons or equipment we will use.

GWB pushed for nuclear bunker busters and freaked out the whole world with the fear that he would resurrect the long discarded "limited nuclear exchange" doctrine.

At least this is a conventional weapon.

Both N. Korea and Iran are rumored to have underground nuke facilities. Having such a weapon is simple common sense from a military prospective.

Ok...under what premise should he start a war?

And what make you assume he would not propose retaliation against Iran or NK if the need arose?

I'd be all for invading North Korea, because it would actually make a huge improvement in the lives of the citizenry. there are people in prison camps, who are there for unforgiveable offenses such as listening to non-north korean radio. However, because sending just one person to prison isn't good enough, the entire family goes. they are then systematically beaten, starved, and abused. if they try to fight the hunger by eating clay or grass, they are shot. The DPRK makes Iraq look like Disneyland.

the only reason NK isn't invaded is because
A) they have a whole lot of firepower pointed at Seoul
b) who will take care of all the refugees? who will modernise the country and put it back on its feet?
