Well he didn’t actually do the dropping of the Mother of All Bombs but I guess the generals talked him into dropping one of their toys, the largest non-nuclear bomb in their arsenal. Now how come a little Beagle like me knows this? Well, I pay attention when the news is on TV, and hope it is not the alternate news, or is it facts, as I have difficulty sometimes keeping them straight.

However, I wanted to talk about the MOAB, the big bomb mother. I heard that it was to kill ISIS although I thought the Taliban were still active in Afghanistan or was that Al Qaeda. This country has a lot of active groups that are considered anti-social. The news at first said that 36 were killed in mountain caves. I did not think that was a lot of people for the MOAB that cost $170,000. And this was just the cost to make this bomb, not to get it to Afghanistan and drop it. I am not being macabre but not sure if this bomb was truly effective. But then the news updated the death count to at least 94 and I guess that justified the expense and the generals were happy to report that to Trump. A number of Afghan politicians were not thrilled about this bomb and I don’t blame them. When I first heard about it I figured it killed thousands of people but I sure hope it would never be dropped on a large city with civilian population. So why did they use the MOAB in the mountains unless it was really for testing purposes and the generals figured that no one would complain because it was only Afghanistan. And how did they get a body count of 94. I would really like to know because I am not sure I believe them.

I do hope that Sean Spicer, Trump’s alternate facts guy, does not still think he is Harvey the giant rabbit because maybe he convinced Trump that all animals in the mountains of Afghanistan are hugely and dangerous, just like the people and they needed the MOAB to kill these giant rascals. Sean was a real cutie playing the Easter Bunny for junior Bush when he was President.
