GBU-43

ABC News: US drops 'mother of all bombs' on ISIS forces in Afghanistan By Luis Martinez

Wikipedia: GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast
The basic operational concept bears some similarity to the BLU-82 Daisy Cutter, which was used to clear heavily wooded areas in the Vietnam War and in Iraq to clear mines and later as a psychological weapon against the Iraqi military.

Another example of Trumpf's need for BIGLY solutions? We need to get this guy away from the football with the nuke codes.

The country is in the hands of someone who is utterly lacking in powers of careful deliberation. He acts in less than rational ways and he acts in a way that provokes a general sense of an unsettled insecurity. He is a loose cannon. We saw it coming, we warned everyone we could, now we have to deal with it.
