The MOAB is a 21,000 lb bomb. It works by spreading a fuel mist over a wide area and then detonating it. It is supposedly the most devasting non-nuclear bomb in the world!

It really stands for "
Massive
Ordinance
Air
Blast." It is considered the "
Mother
Of
All
Bombs" - so that has also been used.
It was tested at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida on Tuesday, March 11th, I believe it was.

Sunny, Im sure the milliatary stratergists do there utmost to make sure there is little danger imposed on friendly troops. Not that I know anything about millatary strategy! Heck I cant even spell it properly. I just dont see them doing anything to hurt there own troops.

I'm sure that allied troops and Iraqi civilians will be
considered before this bomb is used.
(Another military stratergists, here....LoL, Bronni!)
