I wouldn’t call this saber rattling, it was berried in a much larger funding request. And I don’t think that this would be specific to preparing to go to war with Iran, remember Russia is getting feisty as well.

I bet those MOP thingys would do some hardcore damage to Pakistaini cave systems as well!!

OBL we know where you are! We just need bigger bombs to make sure.
