Preparing for war with Iran

What do you make of this?

Buried in the $196.4 billion supplemental war spending proposal that Bush submitted to Congress on Oct. 22 is a request for $88 million to modify B-2 bombers so they can drop a Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or MOP, a conventional bomb still in development that is the most powerful weapon designed to destroy targets deep underground.

A White House summary accompanying the supplemental spending proposal said the request for money to modify ­B-2s to carry the bombs came in response to “an urgent operational need from theater commanders.” The summary provided no further details. The White House and the Air Force, in response to queries, did not provide additional clarification.

Unless the Iraqi insurgents suddenly have radar and antiaircraft capabilities, and have been able to construct deep underground bunkers under our noses, this request is part of the war preparations for attacking Iran.

Did they really think people are dumb enough not to notice stuff like this?
